Description
49 Acres of Land for Sale by Auction, Bolventor, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall PL15 7TY
Lot 98 | Guide Price £75,000
49 acres of land for sale by auction on Bodmin Moor, Bolventor, Cornwall (PL15 7TY) — a rare block of open moorland grazing and amenity land close to the iconic Jamaica Inn, guide price £75,000.
The Location
Bolventor sits at the heart of Bodmin Moor, midway between Launceston and Bodmin, and is best known as the home of the historic Jamaica Inn, made famous by Daphne du Maurier's novel of the same name. The A30 dual carriageway runs close by, giving fast access west into Cornwall and east towards the M5 at Exeter.
This is genuine Bodmin Moor land for sale — the kind of large acreage parcel that rarely reaches the open market, appealing to buyers searching for land near Bolventor, grazing land for sale in Cornwall, or moorland with equestrian and amenity potential.
The Land
Lot 98 extends to approximately 49 acres, offering a substantial block of Bodmin Moor land suited to grazing, smallholding use, equestrian purposes, or long-term amenity ownership, subject to any necessary consents. The scale of the plot is unusual for the current market, giving buyers real space and privacy on one of Cornwall's most recognisable landscapes.
Surrounded by the granite tors and open grazing typical of Bodmin Moor, the land offers wide-reaching countryside views and direct access to some of the county's best walking and riding country, right on the doorstep of Jamaica Inn.
Outside
The land is entirely outdoor space — open moor and grazing land with no residential buildings included in this lot. Buyers interested in land near Bolventor for grazing, hobby farming, or as an addition to an existing holding will find this a straightforward, low-maintenance acreage purchase.
[Confirm and add: access arrangements, boundaries, any rights of way, water/mineral rights, and current agricultural or planning status.]
Auction Details
Lot 98 is offered for sale by auction with Palace Auctions London, guide price £75,000. As with all auction land for sale, we'd strongly recommend reviewing the legal pack before bidding, and registering in good time to bid on the day.
