Property description

A rare opportunity to purchase 31 acres of land which is made up of grassland, lakes and woodland. The land benefits from direct access from the A338, and could offer tourism development opportunities subject to the necessary consents. The land already generates an income of £4000 per annum from a mobile telephone mast.

The main highlight of this property are the lakes which were created from redundant gravel pits. The development of the lakes has been on-going for the last 5 years with a conservation management plan in place in conjunction with the planning authority. The management has been so successful that the scheme was nationally recognised as being the best in the UK, and has won a national award.

To fully appreciate the range of habitats including the lakes and woodland, we would initially recommend a viewing to take in both the stunning location and the opportunities that this could offer.

Situation
The land is situated just off the A338 between Salisbury and Ringwood in the small village of Ibsley in the New Forest. Ibsley Common is nearby, along with a fantastic local farm shop at South Gorley. There are a further wide range of local amenities and facilities in the nearby towns of Ringwood (3 miles) and Fordingbridge (4 miles). To the north, the Cathedral city of Salisbury (14 miles) offers an extensive range of leisure and recreational facilities. Communications are excellent with mainline rail services to London Waterloo from Salisbury (85 minutes) or Southampton Parkway (from 66 minutes). Access to the motorway link via the A31 at Ringwood, is only 10 miles from junction 1 of the M27, linking with the M3 to London. Southampton and Bournemouth.

Additional Information
Agents Note

The access onto the A338 is subject to a 106 agreement which will narrow the access from its original commercial width to a more standard width. This is being carried out at the expense of the original owners and will not impact the purchasers costs.

Copies of the Management Plan are available on request.

There is also further land available subject to separate negotiation including an Equestrian Paddock of 2 acres with a separate access onto Ibsley Drove and also a further 39 acres of lakes and grassland with a stunning residential period house. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-50045188.html
