Lot 2 at Steppes Farm is a substantial, south-facing pasture extending to approximately 11.21 acres (4.54 ha), offered freehold. The field is level to gently sloping, Grade 3 agricultural land with shallow lime-rich soils over chalk/limestone, currently productive for forage and benefiting from useful fencing and a private water supply. Its position within the Dorset National Landscape gives attractive countryside views and strong amenity value.
The parcel is let under a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession available from 1 November 2025 (valid notice served). There are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements included and the land is not subject to existing environmental scheme agreements. All sporting, timber and mineral rights are understood to be included in the sale.
Practical considerations include the land’s designation within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), very slow broadband, and a required gate installation obligation if Lot 2 is sold separately (access over the northern edge of Lot 3). There are customary rights, easements and wayleaves affecting the property and VAT may be payable on the sale price. The combination of productive pasture, private water and large scale makes Lot 2 suitable for continued agricultural use, small-holding conversion or long-term investment in a protected rural landscape.
