5 bed detached house for sale

Glandyfi, Machynlleth SY20

Presenting a truly rare opportunity to acquire a 17-acre smallholding with exclusive fishing rights on the scenic River Dyfi, this property offers a unique blend of traditional rural living and unparalleled natural beauty. At the heart of the smallholding is a charming three-bedroom farmhouse, complemented by a two-bedroom apartment and a range of versatile outbuildings. These outbuildings provide tremendous potential for conversion into additional living spaces, holiday lets, or workshops, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The land, totalling approximately 17 acres, offers a variety of uses and environments. The area immediately behind the homestead is about 3 acres, level and provides valuable grazing land during the summer months. The remaining land, situated on the other side of the railway line, runs alongside the River Dyfi, offering nearly 800 yards of single-bank fishing rights. Though this part of the land is not suitable for livestock grazing, it holds significant conservation value, teeming with wildlife and serving as a peaceful retreat for nature lovers.

This idyllic setting is further enhanced by the property's prime location. Positioned along the A487 trunk road, it provides excellent access to the surrounding region. The historic market town of Machynlleth, known for its heritage and cultural vibrancy, is a short drive away, while the bustling university town of Aberystwyth, with its rich array of amenities and cultural offerings, lies just 14 miles to the south. Dovey Junction railway station is a 10 minute walk along a track at the bottom of the garden. From here trains go south to Aberystwyth, North to Aberdovey and Barmouth, East to Machynlleth, Shrewsbury, Birmingham and the Midlands and is ideal for commuting.

For wildlife enthusiasts, the property's proximity to the Dyfi Osprey Project—a renowned conservation initiative—adds to the appeal, making it an ideal base for observing local wildlife. The elevated position of the homestead offers commanding North-Westerly views across the River Dyfi towards the stunning Snowdonia National Park, providing a breathtaking backdrop.

With its extensive acreage, potential for development, and proximity to some of Wales’ most beloved destinations, this smallholding is a rare and highly desirable opportunity for those seeking a lifestyle rich in nature, history, and opportunity. Whether for personal enjoyment, agricultural pursuits, or as a conservation haven, this property offers endless possibilities in a truly stunning location.
