This established livestock farm presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the scenic Horseshoe Pass area, located near the charming town of Llangollen. The property features a substantial five-bedroom farmhouse alongside a mix of modern and traditional agricultural buildings, set within approximately 81.82 acres of predominantly grassland and woodland, complete with associated hill grazing rights.
Bwlch Mawr has been owned by the same family since the 1950s. Over this time, significant improvements have been made to both the land and structures; however, the farmhouse is now in need of modernization. This opens up a great potential for buyers to create a comfortable family home that capitalizes on stunning views toward the Vale of Llangollen. With thoughtful renovation, it could become an inviting retreat or a lucrative rental property.
The diverse array of existing buildings on site offers further investment potential. The traditional stone barns, while currently dilapidated, have excellent prospects for redevelopment into residential units or other ventures, pending necessary planning approvals. Additionally, there are modern farm facilities suitable for various agricultural endeavors or equestrian use.
Situated within the picturesque Horseshoe Pass—known for its natural beauty—the property benefits from proximity to local amenities in Llangollen, including shops, schools, and healthcare services. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to recreational activities such as hiking in the Berwyn Mountains and exploring nearby Snowdonia National Park.
The farmhouse itself is accessed via a private driveway that provides distinct routes to both living quarters and agricultural buildings. It retains many original features like an Inglenook fireplace and beamed ceilings but would benefit from updates to enhance functionality for modern living.
The land surrounding the farmhouse is well-kept pasture suited for livestock grazing and hay production. There are established hedgerows and tree copses throughout which add both aesthetic value and habitat for wildlife. Furthermore, buyers will gain hill grazing rights for sheep on adjacent common land—a significant advantage for agricultural pursuits.
In addition to open pastureland, there are blocks of mature woodland that could be developed for eco-tourism or conservation projects within the Ruabon/Llantysilio Mountains Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Moreover, eligibility under the Basic Payment Scheme enhances the financial viability of maintaining the farm.
This property not only offers an idyllic rural setting but also considerable potential for those looking to invest in agriculture or development projects while enjoying all that this beautiful region has to offer.
