This expansive 38.19-acre parcel of agricultural land presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring both a modern agricultural building and a derelict Cold War nuclear bunker that could be repurposed for various uses (subject to planning permission). Located on the outskirts of Newport, Isle of Wight, this property offers direct access via Staplers Road, making it conveniently positioned just 2 miles from the town center. Newport boasts a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and educational facilities, while nearby towns like East Cowes and Wootton provide additional services and ferry connections to the mainland.
The property is divided into two lots. Lot 1 encompasses 19.83 acres, comprised of 17.08 acres of arable land along with 2.75 acres of permanent pasture. It features a well-constructed agricultural building measuring 24m x 15m, equipped with dual roller shutter doors and single-phase electricity—ideal for storage or operational use within agricultural activities. Notably, this lot also includes two mobile homes currently utilized for storage purposes.
Lot 2 comprises 18.63 acres of arable land and offers potential for various developments due to its inclusion of an inaccessible Cold War nuclear bunker—an intriguing feature that could attract interest for creative repurposing projects. Additionally, Lot 2 benefits from a lease agreement involving a private telecom mast that generates an annual rental income of £4,000.
With existing rights of access over established routes and no public rights of way encumbering the land, both lots are primed for future development opportunities. The current zoning allows for agricultural use, but recent trends in neighboring areas suggest that residential planning applications may also be viable avenues worth exploring.
Overall, this property combines significant land area with valuable infrastructure and unique elements that enhance its appeal not only as an agricultural site but also as a long-term investment opportunity in a developing region.
