Some homes are bought. This one was built -- and loved -- for 38 years. Winding up a private drive and nestled on over 9 private acres in the Blue Ridge foothills of Bedford County in Montvale, this 3-bedroom, 2.5 -bathroom home has been more than a house since it was constructed in 1988 -- it's been a sanctuary. The current owner built it with HOME in mind, and for nearly four decades it has offered exactly what they hoped it would: quiet mornings, wide-open land, and the kind of peacefulness that's grown harder to find. Offering approximately 1,800 square feet of comfortable one-story living with a high-ceilinged unfinished basement, the home reflects thoughtful, practical design for peaceful living and enjoying! Outside, the nearly 9-acre property has been the real gift -- a metal barn with electric, space to garden, space to wander, space to simply sit on the porch and listen to the turkeys, watch the deer raise their fawns. Rolling countryside, breathtaking mountain views, and the gentle sounds of nature have been the backdrop to daily life here, all just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and a comfortable drive to Roanoke for anything else you might need. After 38 years of memories, the owner is ready to pass this peaceful chapter on to someone new. If you've been searching for a place to slow down, put down roots, and build your own story the way this home's original owner did. .. this is the one!
