52 and 53 AUDREY LANE

179 acres in Montvale, Virginia, that time forgot.

Right from the start, deer were moving through the timber. The further you go, the more the land reveals itself-bear markings on the trees, well-worn wildlife trails that look more like natural footpaths than anything man-made, and the unmistakable sense that this place has been undisturbed for years, maybe decades.

Under the canopy of mature hardwoods-trees so large you can't wrap your arms around them-a wild turkey nest with eggs is tucked safely away. A rare find. Not long after, an all-orange salamander, the kind of small but memorable discovery that tells you just how unique this environment truly is.

The timber here is impressive and appears largely untouched for generations. This land has been in the same family since 1852, passed down through the years with the kind of care that leaves a place like this intact.

On the hike back, you get that unmistakable feeling you get deep in the woods-that you're not alone-and sure enough, a curious bear appeared, watching from a distance before moving on.

Bedford County is home to two of Virginia's most iconic record-book bucks-the Charles Carter Buck (239 7/8") and the 248 11/16" giant. The genetics in this region are the real deal. Add ATV trail access, two natural cabin or camp sites, power at the private drive, and standing hardwood timber with significant value-and what you have is not just a land listing.

It's something you experience. And opportunities like this don't come around often.
