Location - The land is situated in the attractive rural village of Lower Machen, approximately 7 miles north-west of Newport and 10 miles north-east of Cardiff. The property enjoys a peaceful countryside setting whilst benefiting from convenient access to the A468, providing connections to Newport, Caerphilly and the wider South Wales road network, including the M4 Motorway.

The surrounding area is characterised by agricultural land, equestrian uses and rural residential properties, offering an attractive balance of accessibility and countryside appeal. Ruperra castle sits adjacent to the land which is now privately owned.

Description - A rare opportunity to acquire a well-presented equestrian holding circa 1.53 acres (0.62 Ha) offering a superb range of facilities in a highly desirable rural setting. The property is situated within an exceptional position on the edge of the historic Ruperra Estate, with far reaching views towards the iconic castle and the surrounding woodland. Direct access to an extensive network of off-road riding routes allows riders to enjoy hacking straight from the yard without the need to use public or private roadways.

The yard itself comprises 3 No stables, hay barn, tack/feed room, additional covered hay store and a full size manege measuring approximately 20m x 40m. The manege benefits from herringbone drainage, a recently upgraded silica sand and fibre surface, perimeter floodlighting and arena mirrors. The perimeter of the land is bound fully by post and rail fencing and access is provided via a shared road leading to a gated access with a hard standing for several cars.

The property benefits from the added advantage of an extant planning permission for the construction of a substantial stable block with associated roof-space storage, measuring approximately 14m x 8m. Consent was granted under planning reference 23/0506/FULL on 27 September 2023, offering purchasers the opportunity to further enhance the existing equestrian facilities.
