LOVERS RETREAT LANE

SALUDA, VA 23149

Clifton Farm Tract (BK2604) — Key Land & Tax Summary The Clifton Farm Tract spans approximately 706 acres and is distinguished by its combination of scale, access, and evolving landscape character within the Dragon Run watershed. The property benefits from direct road frontage along Lovers Retreat Lane on its eastern boundary, providing strong access supported by an internal network of well-maintained roads. Portions of the tract reflect a recent cutover transitioning into grassland and early successional habitat, creating an increasingly open, upland-oriented feel. This dynamic land condition enhances both usability and habitat diversity, while the tract remains protected under a conservation easement held by The Nature Conservancy and managed as a working forest—balancing ecological preservation with sustainable timber management. The tract is defined by its scale and continuity, contributing to one of the largest unfragmented forest systems in the lower Chesapeake Bay region. Its timber base supports ongoing forest management practices, while its position within the Dragon Run and Mattaponi River corridor reinforces both habitat value and long-term environmental significance. As part of this broader conservation landscape, the property benefits from structural protections that prioritize land continuity and ecological function. Per paragraph 2.1 Subdivision and paragraph 2.2 Building Envelopes, these properties can be managed for limited residential use, designed to minimize impact on the surrounding forest. The tract’s size and internal access also support a range of recreational uses, including hunting and passive land enjoyment, without compromising its primary function as managed timberland. The Clifton Farm Tract is best understood as a scaled, institutionally aligned landholding—where conservation objectives and biological productivity converge within a protected and increasingly scarce forest system. Property boundaries are estimated based on available data and are not warranted. Property owner to provide title research for Buyer prior to closing.
