Extensive commons and riverside moorland with strong conservation potential.
Approximately 2,773 acres (1,122 ha) available as whole or in lots
A rare opportunity to acquire extensive freehold moorland on the southern fringe of Dartmoor National Park. The estate extends to approximately 2,773 acres (1,122 ha) offered either as a whole or in individual lots, from vast commons with sweeping valley views to smaller parcels with historic ruins and woodland. Many lots are registered common land with sporting rights in hand and are designated open access under the CROW Act.
This holding will suit a buyer seeking a large-scale countryside asset — for conservation, sporting, low‑intensity grazing or diversified environmental income. Several lots offer immediate visual impact and landscape value, including high ground with long-range views over the South Hams, riverside gullies and sites of industrial and archaeological interest such as former china clay works and farmstead ruins.
Prospective purchasers should note practical constraints: most parcels are subject to common grazing rights and public access, and the land sits within Dartmoor National Park which will influence permitted uses. There are known former mine workings across the moor — viewing requires caution. Broadband speeds are very slow across the area, although mobile signal is excellent. Avon Dam, the access road to the reservoir and Shipley Bridge car park are excluded from the sale.
The estate offers meaningful potential for environmental management schemes and natural capital projects, subject to discussions with stakeholders and the relevant authorities. Purchasers are advised to review title details, grazing arrangements with the Dartmoor Commoners Council and the land’s statutory designations before making offers.
