A beautiful woodland site of just under 2 acres, with two bespoke timber cabins forming an established enterprise.
Introduction - A beautiful woodland ‘off grid’ luxury glamping site of just under 2 acres, with an established and successful business created by the current owners, Devon Dens is surrounded by nature, but also easily accessible with the A30 dual carriageway 8 miles away.
The two cosy, high quality cabins sleep up to 6 or 4 and come with woodfired hot tubs and a sauna. The well-manicured grounds provide a large pond, seating areas and decking, wooded glades and are bordered by a natural stream.
The property provides an exciting opportunity to purchase a thriving business in this fast growing area of the holiday and short break market with further potential.
Situation - The property lies in a quiet rural setting approached via a country lane in this unspoilt part of Devon. Inspite of its peaceful setting, the property is within easy reach of the A3079, giving easy access to the market towns of Holsworthy and Okehampton with its direct access to the A30 dual carriageway.
In addition, local villages such as Halwill with its shops, pub and school and Bratton Clovelly with the well-known local inn are within a short drive. The town of Okehampton offers an excellent range of shops and services, three supermarkets including a Waitrose and nationally and locally owned shops and businesses. There is schooling from infant to sixth form level, a modern community hospital and attractive leisure centre. It now also has a railway station connecting with Exeter.
The Glamping Accommodation - DEVON DEN

The internal accommodation incorporates a living/dining/kitchen area with a separate bedroom and shower room and a mezzanine bedding area. An attractive AGA wood burner provides heat as well as LPG central heating and cooking. To the front is a timber framed veranda with beautiful views with gravelled barbeque area and new, wood-fired hot tub alongside. A solar array provides power.

Below the parking area are areas of terraced garden with paths and steps giving access to the cabins. Below Carpenters Cabin is a large pond in timber decked surround, which is a natural haven for wildlife. Adjacent is the reed bed which filters the waste water from sinks and basins and contains common reed and iris. Adjacent is a poly tunnel and raised vegetable beds, which provide home grown produce for the guests.
The main portion of the grounds incorporate areas of woodland garden, bordered along one entire boundary by a natural stream.

In addition to the cabins, there is a separate handmade sauna, storage building and log store. Beyond the cabins and grounds is an additional area of paddock, again bordered by stream and trees with separate gated access from the road.
