Description
Located in the heart of Orange County, Virginia, 15284 Poplar Road offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a 98-acre agricultural farm with significant development, income, and conservation potential. The property is strategically positioned approximately 75 miles from Richmond, Virginia and 85 miles from Washington, D.C., providing convenient access to two major metropolitan markets while preserving a rural Central Virginia setting. The property includes approximately 28+ acres of established loblolly pine, providing a valuable timber resource that may be harvested and sold, offering potential near-term revenue. The remaining acreage consists of open and gently rolling farmland typical of the region. The property is zoned Agricultural, allowing for a range of matter-of-right uses, which may include agricultural enterprises, agritourism, short-term rentals, bed and breakfast establishments, places of worship, and cemetery or graveyard uses. From a development perspective, the property allows matter-of-right subdivision for up to 20 single-family homes with minimum 2-acre lot sizes. Any development exceeding 20 acres will require additional coordination with Orange County and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), including a required DEQ study estimated to cost in excess of $250,000, along with further governmental approvals. Whether pursued as a timber investment, working farm, agritourism destination, rural estate, or limited residential development, 15284 Poplar Road offers a compelling combination of size, zoning flexibility, and proximity to major metropolitan areas.
