Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On February 17, 2011, Blue Ridge Real Estate Company (the “Company”) and The Conservation Fund (the “Purchaser”) entered into an Agreement of Sale (referred to as the “Phase 3 Agreement”) for raw land owned by the Company. Under the Phase 3 Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell the Purchaser land located in Thornhurst Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, consisting of approximately 376 acres (the “Property”), for a purchase price of $1,600,000, $5,000 of which is payable by the Purchaser as a deposit within five business days of the effective date of the Phase 3 Agreement, and the remainder of which is payable to the Company at the closing.  As set forth in the Phase 3 Agreement, the Company will retain gas and oil rights on the Property from closing through December 31, 2031.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Phase 3 Agreement, the Purchaser has until August 16, 2011 to perform any due diligence it deems necessary to satisfy itself as to the feasibility of proceeding with its acquisition of the Property (the “Inspection Period”). The Phase 3 Agreement further provides that the closing for the sale of the Property take place on or before 30 days following the expiration of the Inspection Period. If the Purchaser determines for any reason that it is not feasible to proceed with the acquisition of the Property, the Purchaser may notify the Seller in writing prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period and the Phase 3 Agreement will be considered null and void and the $5,000 deposit will be returned to the Purchaser

     The Phase 3 Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as standard closing conditions.

     The Company intends to use the proceeds of this land sale to pay down debt.

     The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Phase 3 Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. It is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Phase 3 Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. All readers are encouraged to read the entire text of the Phase 3 Agreement.
