If you were asked to draw a traditional farm from scratch, the result would come very close to what Ballavelt provides. There is much to be admired with this property, it has it all, it is bursting at the seams with potential.
A true classic traditional Manx stock farm, Ballavelt Farm is as Manx as the hills, with the current range of buildings dating from the 19th Century, and evidence to suggest much earlier occupation with a number of Tholtons; highlighting the favourability of the setting.
Having visited the Ballavelt, the hills and the sea are what etch in the mind. The 360-degree views are both captivating & capacious, you can see many famous Manx landmarks, and could paint a landscape picture at every turn, as the colours and seasons change throughout the year; as do the views, enjoyment and life on the farm. No one day is the same.
