Description
PRICE REDUCED!
Located in Bedford County, Virginia, this 95-acre tract offers seclusion, utility, and the opportunity to establish a private residence or recreational retreat. The property is situated on Thaxton Mountain and provides an uncommon balance of accessibility and privacy. While the acreage is surrounded by forest and wildlife habitat, it is just two miles from Highway 460, with convenient access to both Bedford and Roanoke.
The land includes a well-developed internal road system that reaches all areas of the tract. This infrastructure enhances both the accessibility and usability of the mountain terrain, allowing for activities such as hiking, hunting, and land management. The ability to navigate the property by vehicle or ATV provides flexibility for year-round use and helps ensure that the entire acreage can be accessed and maintained.
A significant feature of the property is the cleared and leveled homesite area. This location has already undergone a successful perc test and includes a designated septic field for a three-bedroom home. For a buyer interested in building, this preparation allows construction planning to move forward without delay. The homesite’s elevated position offers expansive mountain views, while its placement within the property ensures privacy from surrounding parcels.
Adjacent to the homesite is a newly constructed two-story outbuilding. The main level is designed to provide storage for equipment, recreational gear, or land maintenance tools. The upper loft area is suitable for short-term overnight stays, adding versatility to the structure. This building allows for both immediate use and future integration into a larger residential or recreational plan.
The landscape itself is diverse, offering a combination of forested ridges and slopes with vantage points overlooking the surrounding mountains. Wildlife is commonly observed throughout the property, including deer and turkey, providing opportunities for hunting and nature observation. The road system also allows access to ridgelines and valleys that might otherwise be inaccessible.
This tract represents an opportunity to acquire substantial acreage with infrastructure already in place to support residential or recreational uses. With its road network, homesite preparation, and outbuilding, the property is positioned for a variety of uses while still providing the privacy of a mountain setting.
