Description
The Lyndown Farms Estate is a rare opportunity to purchase an extensive upland farming estate within a ring-fence in one of the last unspoilt landscapes in Southern England.
The land lies completely within the Exmoor National Park in a ring-fenced block of 2,136 acres including productive pasture, moorland, rough grazing and woodland all set within a truly spectacular landscape. In addition, there are significant grazing rights over adjoining common land. The farmhouse at South Stock Farm has recently undergone renovation and there is a further three-bedroom dwelling at Scoresdown.
The Estate offers considerable sporting and conservation opportunities and potential for substantial income from the Exmoor Landscape Recovery Project (Reviving Exmoor’s Heartlands) which is currently at the Project Development Phase.
