Description

This expansive land parcel offers a remarkable opportunity for investment, spanning approximately 226.63 acres (91.71 hectares) of predominantly Grade 2 arable land at South Farm. The site boasts a diverse landscape that includes arable fields, grassland, and areas of woodland, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural activities. The Scoreby Estate, located east of York, is positioned to provide significant potential for enhancement and development in alignment with agricultural needs or residential growth. Historically part of a larger estate, the land is currently utilized under fixed-term Farm Business Tenancies set to expire in September 2026. This offers new owners the chance to re-evaluate its use after this period, whether continuing agricultural operations or considering alternative development options as market demands evolve. Accessed via Scoreby Lane and featuring river frontage on the River Derwent with fishing rights, this estate not only provides productive agricultural capacity but also outdoor recreational options which could enhance its appeal. Given its strategic location close to York and major transport links, there is substantial scope for creating a well-rounded facility that caters to both farming and leisure pursuits. The property also presents possibilities for future subdivision into multiple lots should buyers choose to explore tailored development avenues. With existing rights of way and easements in place, along with a commitment from local authorities regarding environmental schemes, this land represents an intriguing investment prospect with considerable room for growth.
