Set within about 4.86 acres of orchards, pasture and woodland, Promised Land Fruit Farm offers a rare mix of privacy and long-distance countryside views. The main stone-built dwelling and a detached two-bedroom holiday cottage sit elevated above Darley Dale, providing flexible accommodation for family living plus holiday or ancillary income potential (subject to the occupancy restriction). The site’s extensive grounds suit hobby farming, equestrian use or productive gardens.
The main house is spacious with distinctive character: dual-aspect principal rooms, gallery landing and several garden rooms that capture the valley outlook. A separate garage/outbuilding and gated private drive provide useful practical space. The holiday cottage features an open-plan first floor with patio doors and a roof terrace that maximises the vistas.
Important constraints are factual and material. The property is sold subject to an Agricultural and Local Occupancy Condition which restricts who may lawfully occupy the dwellings. The buildings require modernisation and renovation in parts; the heating system includes a wood-fired boiler and there is a private septic tank. Broadband speeds are variable and may be slow; council tax band is above average. Prospective buyers should factor the occupancy condition and renovation costs into any purchase decision.
For buyers eligible under the occupancy condition, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a generous smallholding close to village amenities while retaining easy access to Matlock and nearby towns. The combination of elevated views, productive land and two separate residences creates clear long-term potential once refurbished and properly serviced.
