11.80 Acres of land predominantly laid to pasture and incorporating large lake (0.4 of an acre). The land is for sale by Traditional Online Auction (unless sold prior). The auction end date is Monday 29th November 2021 at 6pm.
Method Of Sale - The land is for sale by Traditional Online Auction (unless sold prior). The auction end date is Monday 29th November 2021 at 6pm. The vendor reserves the right to withdraw or alter the land for sale prior to the auction end date. The land can be accessed via our website - Online Property & Land Auctions.
Situation - The land is situated approximately 3 miles from the centre of Okehampton, being within approximately 1 mile of the A30 dual carriageway. For the equestrian minded there is easy access via local public lanes, with access to Sticklepath and then to the moors, whilst at Tongue End Cross within a mile from Beer Farm, there is a track that can lead onto the moorland, north of Sticklepath and also towards Belstone and onto Dartmoor.
Description - The land is accessed via a five bar gate opening to a stone lane, which leads down past some neighbouring fields, with a five bar gate opening to a hardstanding area for several vehicles. The land is predominantly laid to pasture and incorporates a large lake (0.4 of an acre), which has been fully fenced off for the safety of children and stock, there are four farm gates, one at each corner, which facilitate easy access, whilst the water is understood to be approximately 12 feet deep at the eastern end and with varying depths at the western end. An overflow pipe discharges into the stream beyond, which is tree lined. To the west of the lake, the land is fenced with two farm gates providing access between the two sections. Further fencing could create smaller paddocks which could connect to the lake perimeter fence. To the eastern end of the land, there are some newly planted young trees, various mature trees and areas of copse. Within this area, is a timber shed/store raised on bricks. The remaining boundaries are primarily hedgerow. There are currently three mains water field troughs in different areas, and at the eastern end of the land, the stream from the lake, can also usually provide water for animals . In recent years, the current vendor has begun a process of re-wilding, and have sown locally-sourced wildflower seeds in several areas, created butterfly banks and expanded feeding areas for key pollinators such as bees. Oaks are regenerating throughout, and the heart of the land adjacent to the lake comprises of culm grassland, a rare habitat unique to North Devon which is important for biodiversity as well as filtering pollution and retaining carbon. Luna’s Lake is a haven for wildlife, from dragonflys, swallows and bats feeding over the lake in summer, Roe deer in the pasture year-round, to flocks of goldfinches feeding on Autumn seeds and barn owls hunting at dusk. Year on year the species list is growing.
