A rare, income-capable estate at the foot of Cader Idris, offered as a freehold with over five acres of paddocks, a menage and modern stabling. The Grade II Listed main house and four stone cottages combine period character with practical equestrian facilities, and two cottages are already let as holiday accommodation, providing an established revenue stream. Fast broadband, multiple outdoor seating areas and panoramic mountain views support holiday letting, rural retreats or a small multi-unit business.
This property will suit an investor or buyer seeking an equestrian enterprise with immediate letting potential, or a family wanting ancillary income. The large, secluded plot and several outbuildings create scope for additional stabling, garden development or diversification, subject to restrictions. The layout includes 12 bedrooms across multiple units and approximately 1,486 sq ft of internal space listed as multi-story, plus many outbuildings.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing can complicate alterations and increase maintenance costs, and the council tax is above average. The area is classified as very deprived and ageing rural, which may affect longer-term local demand. Access is rural and isolated with average mobile signal; however, there is no flood risk and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
Overall this is a distinctive mountain-side equestrian estate offering immediate income and strong lifestyle appeal, balanced by listed-status responsibilities and rural market considerations. A practical survey and early heritage-advice are recommended to clarify permitted works and future running costs.
