Shame it's in Wales though. I can only take so much rain.

Funnily enough and i don't know if its due to global warming or what this part of Wales has been getting more good weather than the south has over the last 10 years or so, luckily the farm has its own spring which has never been known to dry up even in the hottest summers.
We have also missed the snow thats hit the south so hard in the last few years, this valley seems to have its own micro climate which gives it better weather than other areas even relatively close.

Is it just inside the NP or outside? It looks lovely. Any news on details yet?

Hiya Pricey,
The main plot is inside the NP, but the other plot (just across the road from the farm ) is OUTSIDE the NP.
Details are in the process of being drawn up and solicitors appointed etc, a provisional date for auction is yet to be fixed but it is thought that it will be in september.
It will be sold by auction here in Bala, by joint agents, who will be Jacksons Equestrian and RG Jones (farmers marts, Dolgellau).
The agents have viewed together last week and have suggested that the main lot will sell at £250,000, and the other lot at (and i am sorry if i misled you earlier)£50,000 both are reserve prices.

The bottom lot should be able to attract planning consents as a market garden/smallholding, indeed that would have been my plan if we'd had the wherewithal.

Yes it is a lovely place and holds a great deal of potential for investment and development. Given its enviable position, I would think with the right treatment it could be worth 1/2 to 3/4 of a million with no trouble at all. (We wish we could afford to keep it ourselves but it has to be divided between the family

).

I will post as soon as we know its confirmed with all parties and let you all know the details and links to the agents websites, we hope to know this in the next 2-3 weeks, hopefully sooner as most details are now agreed.

Lovely - but the first thing I'd do is repaint the drainpipes.

LynneA, If you buy it , I personally, will buy you a tin of paint in your choice of colour to do the job, I have always disliked it too! Looking forward to our trip to B&Q, when i can give you all the history on the place

Just to update you all the sale went ahead on the 9th and the property sold at £320,000 for the main lot and £60,000 for the fields . bidding was reserved to 3 people and was a reasonable result .
I am letting you know the outcome in case you are thinking of going to such an auction , the realised price is not so much higher than the guide price , so it may give someone a bit of confidence in their bidding .
Thank you all for your interest!
