Summary - Ivy Farm, Ivy Lane, East Mersea, COLCHESTER CO5 8US
1 bed 1 bath Land
Expansive saltmarsh and estuary views with BNG potential.
Approximately 38.32 acres including 22 acres of grassland
Lot 1 at Ivy Farm offers about 38.32 acres of grassland, saltmarsh and sea wall on Mersea Island with wide panoramic sea and estuary views. The mix of habitat — 22 acres of amenity and conservation grassland plus borrowdyke and saltmarsh — creates strong potential for environmental stewardship and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) projects. The site currently carries an ELS/HLS management agreement running until 30 June 2028 with an apportioned annual income of approximately £3,000, which the purchaser will inherit.
The land is offered freehold with vacant possession and a guide price of £200,000. Access is via Ivy Lane and a right of way past Ivy Farmhouse; the seller will retain a vehicular right of way across the northern part of the land to access a boat mooring and launch, and a pedestrian right of way will be reserved to connect to the coastal path on the sea wall. No VAT is payable on the sale price.
This lot will suit buyers focused on conservation, low-intensity agriculture, recreational uses or those seeking to develop BNG credits, but it is not a development parcel for housing. Note the site has a medium flood risk and existing rights and management obligations that affect use. Prospective purchasers should review the current stewardship agreement and rights retained before offer.
