A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE APPROXIMATELY 11.21 ACRES OF FREEHOLD DEVON COUNTRYSIDE, FEATURING TWO BARNS, A PRIVATE FISHING LAKE, FISHERMAN'S CABIN, SHEPHERD'S HUT, JETTY, BOAT AND EXTENSIVE PASTURELAND, OFFERING EXCEPTIONAL LIFESTYLE, LEISURE AND INVESTMENT POTENTIAL.
Town & Country Property Auctions are delighted to present this exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile freehold holding extending to approximately 11.21 acres, situated in the picturesque Devon countryside near the village of Sutcombe, Holsworthy.
Combining beautiful natural surroundings with a range of existing buildings, a private fishing lake and extensive pastureland, this unique property offers an outstanding opportunity for investors, developers, lifestyle purchasers, equestrian enthusiasts and those seeking their very own countryside retreat.
The Land and Buildings
Extending to approximately 11.21 acres, the property comprises a mixture of pastureland, established rural buildings and a stunning private fishing lake, creating a wonderfully diverse holding with considerable scope for improvement and future enhancement.
The site benefits from two barns, including a substantial timber barn requiring renovation. These existing structures provide an exciting starting point for those considering restoration, agricultural use, conversion or potential redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.
The surrounding pastureland offers excellent flexibility for a variety of uses, including grazing, equestrian activities, smallholding or general recreational purposes.
Established vehicular access, together with parking facilities, further enhances the property's practicality and accessibility.
Private Fishing Lake and Lakeside Retreat
Undoubtedly one of the property's most attractive features is its beautiful private fishing lake, surrounded by peaceful Devon countryside.
The lake benefits from a charming fisherman's cabin, private jetty and boat, creating an idyllic setting for fishing, relaxation and outdoor recreation. A shepherd's hut provides an additional feature, further enhancing the site's appeal as a private countryside escape.
Whether enjoyed as a personal fishing retreat, weekend getaway or potentially developed into a wider leisure offering, subject to the necessary consents, this exceptional lakeside setting presents a rare opportunity to secure something truly special.
Development, Leisure and Investment Potential
With approximately 11.21 acres and several existing structures, the property offers considerable versatility and a range of potential future opportunities.
For those with an interest in renovation or development, the barns may offer scope for conversion or alternative uses, subject to planning permission and any other required approvals.
Equally, the combination of a private lake, shepherd's hut, cabin and surrounding land could appeal to purchasers exploring recreational, tourism, glamping, equestrian or smallholding opportunities, again subject to the relevant consents.
Alternatively, the property could simply be retained and enjoyed as an exceptional private rural retreat, offering space, privacy and an increasingly sought-after countryside lifestyle.
Location
Situated in the attractive rural surroundings of Sutcombe, near Holsworthy in North Devon, the property enjoys a peaceful countryside setting while remaining within reach of the surrounding villages, market towns and wider Devon and Cornwall countryside.
The location is particularly appealing to those seeking tranquillity, natural surroundings and the freedom associated with owning a substantial parcel of rural land.
An Exceptional Freehold Opportunity
Opportunities combining this level of acreage, existing buildings, a private fishing lake and established access are seldom available in one holding.
Whether purchased for personal enjoyment, agricultural or recreational purposes, long-term investment or to explore future development possibilities, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a distinctive and versatile slice of Devon countryside.
Interested parties are strongly encouraged to review the available documentation, inspect the property and make their own enquiries regarding planning, access and intended uses prior to bidding.
