The Land
The land is traditionally laid to pasture and includes level to gently sloping meadows and inherently productive early growing pastures climatically influenced by its relative proximity to the Cardigan Bay coast.

The property has ease of management with an internal hard based service lane interconnecting the homestead to some of the Upper areas of pastures. The land lies within a ring fence and is interspersed with traditional hedgerows and stock-proof fencing all of which has been recently improved, proving ease of management in mind.

This is a farm that is renowned in the locality as being one of the most inherent and well-equipped units in a traditional sense and is worthy of being added to either an existing agri enterprise or operation or alternatively has lifestyle opportunities.
