Strong Results at Spring Land Auction

Land at Mountain View Farm sells for 50% above guide price

Our South Lakes office  have successfully sold 28.87 acres of land at Mountain View Farm, Kirkby-in-Furness, Cumbria, achieving a total of £184,000, well above the overall guide price of £120,000.

Located on the edge of the Lake District National Park, the land offered a superb opportunity for those seeking productive agricultural land, with potential for environmental schemes and biodiversity net gain.

Offered as a whole or in two separate lots, the sale attracted strong interest from local farmers, landowners, and investors, with both lots selling either at or above the top end of their respective guide prices.

• Lot 1: 17.79 acres of pasture, meadow and amenity land – Sold privately at the sale room, near the top end of the guide price, which was £85,000
• Lot 2: 11.08 acres of high-quality meadow land – Sold for £104,000

The auction was held at the Community Hall in Grizebeck, with bidding demonstrating the ongoing interest for quality rural land in the region.

Farmers are increasingly looking for opportunities to extend their acreage and generate additional income, and these two lots clearly provided those opportunities. The strong level of interest and final sale values reflect the continued demand for well-located, versatile land.
