A rare development plot of around one-third acre in the New Forest National Park, Meadow Barn offers direct forest access and planning consent for a luxury lodge or log cabin. The site’s seclusion and mature tree shelter create an attractive setting for a bespoke retreat aimed at holiday lets, second-home buyers or a small private dwelling. Ringwood is about 2 miles away, providing shops, markets and good road links to Bournemouth, Southampton and the A31.
This freehold plot is essentially unbuilt land with fenced boundaries and a level surface, giving flexibility to site the approved lodge. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are reported as fast, supporting rental management or remote working. The location’s strong leisure appeal — forest walks, ponies nearby and proximity to coast and airports — underpins potential short-term let income or lifestyle value.
Important practical points: the site sits in a small hamlet/isolated setting and local crime is above average. Planning consent exists but does not remove build costs, utility connection work or further regulatory requirements; services and council tax banding are not provided. Buyers should allow for construction lead times, on-site setup and any National Park conditions tied to the consent.
