Description
A superb block of 60.02 Acres (24.29 ha) comprising of pasture, woodland and common land with stunning views. Informal Tenders Close Friday 24th October 2025 at 12 noon (unless sold prior)
Description - Set in an elevated, idyllic and peaceful location, the property known as Allt Common and Part of Pen-y-Lan, Hardwicke, Hay on Wye extends to approximately 60.02 acres (24.29 hectares) and offers a rich blend of gently sloping pastureland, mature deciduous woodland and common land.
The gently sloping grazing land is predominantly bound by the mixed woodland and common land, and could be divided into further manageable enclosures.
The property includes Allt Common which extends to approximately 26.46 acres. We are informed that the property benefits from grazing rights onto the common.
The varied topography ranging from approximately 750ft to 950ft above sea level, combined with the rich natural features of the land, present exciting opportunities for enhancing biodiversity and exploring natural capital initiatives.
With an abundance of mature trees, hedgerows, and a natural spring supply, the property may lend itself to future ventures such as carbon offsetting, conservation schemes or environmental stewardship. These attributes not only contribute to the land’s ecological value but may also offer potential for income generation and long-term capital growth.
With far-reaching and breathtaking views across the rolling surrounding landscape (which have to be viewed to be fully appreciated), this property presents a unique chance to explore tourism diversification opportunities. A bridlepath and footpath run through the property, offering excellent outriding and walking trails.
Accessed via a council-maintained road, the property is conveniently located within easy reach of the renowned market town of Hay-on-Wye, known for its literary festival and vibrant community.
