Secluded hillside location with panoramic valley and mountain views
Set on a quiet hillside in Rhandirmwyn, Blaen Nant Melyn is a sympathetically renovated stone farmhouse that marries original character with modern off‑grid systems. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living rooms retain exposed beams, stone walls and handcrafted fittings, while recent upgrades include an air‑source heated central system, solid wood floors and a contemporary farmhouse kitchen.
The property sits in a secluded, panoramic valley location with access to surrounding 600 acres of hillside and SSSI-designated land — an exceptional spot for nature lovers, photographers or those seeking a low‑running holiday base. Solar panels with a battery bank and diesel back‑up provide electricity; private spring water and septic drainage keep running costs minimal compared with mains services.
Practical realities are clear: this is a remote, rural home. Broadband is very slow (satellite available), and the farmhouse sits in a dispersed hamlet with limited local services. The original granite walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so prospective buyers should consider longer‑term thermal upgrade options despite recent heating improvements.
Blaen Nant Melyn will suit buyers wanting a peaceful permanent home, a low‑overhead holiday retreat, or an income property in a sought‑after natural setting. Its history, characterful interiors and off‑grid autonomy are strong selling points, though buyers should budget for rural maintenance and accept the trade‑offs of remoteness.
