Maerdy Mawr is a unique multi faceted rural farm with a diverse income stream, located in the Dee Valley, on the outskirts of the village of Gwyddelwern, a short drive from the towns of Corwen and Ruthin and the A5.



The holding offers a fantastic and rare opportunity to acquire a farmstead comprising farmhouse, yard with modern outbuildings and land extending to approximately 167 acres in all, a well established Caravan Park with planning permission/licence for 35 static pitches and 5 touring pitches and one bed holiday cottage 'Cwt Mochyn'.



The holding has been in the same family for several generations and has been farmed to a high standard for many years, previously supporting a dairy herd, although recently operated as a cattle and sheep unit.



Given the size of the holding, this is an ideal second commercial agricultural unit, however it could also be split into commercial parcels and enjoyed by a lifestyle buyer or investor.

As such the farm is offered for sale as a whole or in four lots.



Lot 1 - Farmhouse, buildings, Cwt Mochyn and land extending in all to approximately 97 acres

Lot 2 - Land extending to approximately 46 acres including woodland

Lot 3 - Land extending to approximately 18 acres

Lot 4 - Maerdy Mawr Caravan Park

The Land



The land extends in all to approximately 161 acres, is all down to pasture and is comprised in two blocks of conveniently sized enclosures segregated by the A494.



The larger block extending to approximately 97 acres is to the west side of the A494, and this forms part of Lot 1, along with the farmhouse, farm buildings and holiday let.



With south facing land, in a ring fence around the farmstead, the land to the lower fields immediately beyond the farmhouse is heavier land, before the land slopes away to the west which is lighter land, providing a good variety, which is suitable for both grazing and silaging.



The land to the north of the farmhouse is flat and sloping and adjoins the farm buildings.



There is a natural water supply, which benefits many of the enclosures, and all the enclosures are securely enclosed with a mixture of hedge and fence boundaries with shelter belts present.



There is mains water present on the farmyard and this could be used to supply the fields.



Access is off the farm track and the former railway line passes through this block and provides a useful farm track and secondary access to the north side, leading to both the land and farm buildings.



The smaller block to the east side of the A494, extends in all to approximately 62 acres and, benefits from excellent road frontage. The land slopes eastwards away from the A494, and is suitable for grazing livestock and silaging in parts. This block also includes a strip of mature broadleaf woodland and has good access both directly off the A494 and via several gated access' off the adjoining minor road.



This block is being offered in two lots:



Lot 2 highlighted green on the plan extends to approximately 46 acres including the woodland.



Lot 3 highlighted in yellow on the plan extends to approximately 18 acres, and benefits from a natural water supply.



Mains Water



There is no mains water supply to Lots 2 & 3, although we understand the water main is laid in the verge of the adjoining land. No guarantee is given for this and interested parties should make their own enquiries directly with Dwr Cymru.
