A rare, ring‑fenced block of approximately 74.14 acres (c.30.00 ha) of Grade 2 and 3 arable land on Mersea Island, just under 9 miles from Colchester. The holding is largely level with long, open rural and distant estuary views, defined by hedgerow boundaries and served from an adjoining country lane. Fields present as contiguous arable/pasture suited to cropping, grazing or agricultural investment.
Practical advantages include clear road frontage, generally good access from the lane and no significant internal buildings within the sale area, which simplifies cultivation and management. Flood risk is recorded as nil for the plot, and soil grades (Grade 2/3) indicate genuinely productive agricultural potential. There is a small drainage ditch/watercourse through part of the holding that should be managed in line with environmental and farming regulations.
This parcel will suit an active farmer looking to expand acreage, an agricultural investor seeking holding-size scale, or a landowner interested in long-term rural asset growth. Any alternative uses or development would require local planning permission and consents; buyers should assume planning constraints apply on Mersea Island and factor in the requirement for pre-application advice where change of use is intended.
Practical matters: tenure is not stated and will need confirmation; there are no sizeable farm buildings included within the main fields; services appear limited to nearby farmstead areas. Prospective buyers should carry out their own due diligence on title, access rights, boundaries, environmental designations and drainage responsibilities before exchange.
