1.32 Acres of Woodland Overlooking Trenchford Reservoir, Bovey Tracey, Devon

• FH Price: £65,000 Guide Price
An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a former farmstead situated in a truly spectacular position within Dartmoor National Park, overlooking the tranquil waters of Trenchford Reservoir and close to the sought-after villages of Christow and Hennock.
Higher Mardon Farmstead comprises a ramshackle and atmospheric collection of former agricultural buildings set within approximately 1.32 acres of sloping land. The buildings were abandoned many years ago when the nearby reservoir was created, leaving behind an evocative group of historic structures which now form an intriguing and characterful site surrounded by natural beauty.
The land is arranged over two separate freehold titles, with one parcel effectively surrounding the other. The site slopes gently downwards towards the reservoir, which forms the lower boundary, whilst mature conifer plantation woodland borders either side, creating a secluded and peaceful setting rarely found.
The remains of the farm buildings include stone and traditional agricultural structures, which are now largely derelict but offer a fascinating glimpse into the site’s agricultural heritage. The location enjoys exceptional views and a remarkable sense of tranquillity, making it a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a unique project or rural retreat.
Subject to any necessary consents, the site may lend itself to a variety of potential uses, including reinstatement of the former farmstead, sensitive redevelopment, or continued leisure and amenity use. The property could equally appeal to those seeking a private family retreat, wildlife haven or recreational base within one of Devon’s most beautiful landscapes.
