Newton Abbot, Devon, ID 169220
An extremely rare opportunity to acquire a former farmstead set in a prime position within Dartmoor National Park, overlooking the waters of Trenchford Reservoir and located close to the villages of Christow and Hennock. Higher Mardon Farmstead comprises a collection of former agricultural buildings set within approximately 1.32 acres of sloping land. The site was abandoned following the creation of the nearby reservoir, leaving a group of historic structures with strong character and heritage interest. The land is arranged over two separate freehold titles, with one parcel surrounding the other. The site slopes towards the reservoir, forming the lower boundary, and is bordered by mature conifer woodland on both sides, creating a private and secluded setting. The remaining structures include traditional stone and agricultural buildings, now largely derelict, offering potential for restoration or redevelopment subject to the necessary consents. The property benefits from elevated views and a high level of privacy, making it suitable for a range of potential uses including reinstatement of the former farmstead, redevelopment, or continued leisure use. It may also appeal as a private rural retreat or wildlife-focused holding. . Reference CD-90325 . To be sold by public auction on 26/03/2026 . Former farmstead set within approximately 1.32 acres .
