Land at Lower Dell, Nethy Bridge

This diverse and rarely available block of land at Lower Dell, just 1.5 km southeast of Nethy Bridge, offers a truly exceptional opportunity. Extending to approximately 33.75 hectares (83.4 acres), the land is laid to permanent grassland and for ease of understanding is presented with ten clearly defined enclosures, ensuring ease of management and flexibility for a range of uses. The land is currently used for forage and grazing under an annual grass let agreement and is registered for IACS, with all but two acres classified as BPS Region 1, while LFASS Grazing Category C applies to all areas other than Field 005. Field 009, notably, is designated Region 2, providing a slight variation within the holding. The land is opted to tax for VAT and is not subject to any current AECS or environmental schemes, offering a blank canvas for future use, whether for continued agricultural production, conservation, or amenity purposes—subject to the appropriate consents. The gateway access is taken from Dell Road, close to Nether Dell, and the land enjoys an attractive and peaceful setting alongside the River Nethy, with gently rolling topography and areas of woodland fringe offering a rich habitat for biodiversity. Such a setting within the National Park enhances the appeal for buyers seeking land with long-term amenity, environmental, or lifestyle potential. Nethy Bridge itself is a sought-after and thriving village, often referred to as the "Forest Village," known for its strong community spirit, local amenities, and easy access to outdoor pursuits including walking, cycling, and wildlife watching. Opportunities to acquire substantial landholdings in this location are extremely limited, particularly in such a scenic and accessible setting, making this an ideal proposition.
