Poplar Creek Tiny Home Village
Poplar Creek, our first tiny home village, is the embodiment of the idea that less can indeed be more. Located in Rutherford County, NC, Poplar Creek is more than just a collection of homes – it’s a tight-knit community where residents come together to celebrate the wonders of nature, share their passions, and form enduring bonds. Whether it’s evening strolls with neighbors against the backdrop of the setting sun, communal gardening, or gathering around a bonfire to share stories, our villages embody the spirit of togetherness.
At Poplar Creek, you'll find a true environmentally friendly community. We're committed to sustainability and creating a space where nature thrives. This commitment extends beyond just the homes.
Features of Poplar Creek:
Bring Your Own Tiny Home: Poplar Creek is a resident-owned home, leased-lot community. You bring your certified tiny home (THOW or park model that meets our standards), and we provide the place to plug in and live well. If you’re still shopping, we can connect you with trusted builder.
Ready to Live Lots: Each lot is designed for simple setup and everyday ease, with:
Full utility hookups (water, power, septic connections)
High-speed internet
Trash & recycling service
Grounds maintenance
Access to community amenities (pavilion, fire pit, shared greenspace, and more)
Designed Around Nature: The community layout honors the land — preserving trees, weaving in shared greenspaces, and ensuring that life at Poplar Creek stays grounded in the quiet beauty of the foothills.
Community Culture, On Purpose: Poplar Creek is built for neighbors who value kindness, privacy, and contribution. Expect casual gatherings, shared projects (think garden days), and a “pay-it-forward” spirit that keeps the village feeling safe and welcoming.
A Model for What’s Next: Poplar Creek is our first village — the blueprint for future Ideal Ridge communities. It represents our commitment to reimagining housing in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and deeply human.
