Ipers Bridge, Holbury, SO45

The estate presents a rare and distinguished opportunity to acquire a residential or lifestyle property of considerable scope, ideally suited to equestrian pursuits.
The main residence is a detached four-bedroom farmhouse, complemented by three additional detached one-bedroom cottages. These ancillary dwellings are well-suited for guest or staff accommodation or multi-generational living but are currently utilised as holiday lets providing the farm with an attractive additional income.

The accommodation enjoys uninterrupted southerly views across the property’s own land, extending towards the open landscapes of the National Park.

This property affords a high degree of privacy and tranquillity while maintaining excellent transport links to regional and national destinations. The combination of extensive equestrian infrastructure, versatile accommodation, and direct access to the New Forest makes the property a highly attractive proposition for those seeking a private equestrian retreat or a commercially viable enterprise.

Outside

The estate encompasses approximately 10 acres of gently undulating, south-facing pasture, which is divided into six well-maintained paddocks by post-and-rail fencing. The land offers excellent year-round grazing, supported by commoners’ rights, and is serviced by a well-organised yard comprising a comprehensive range of stabling and storage facilities, as well as a professionally constructed sand school. The driveway leads to a meticulously maintained and gated yard, with six generous stables, a secure tack room, a dedicated rug room, and a practical holding paddock. Beyond this yard are two more stables, two additional Shetland stables as well as a detached tractor shed adjoining the main expanse of pasture further enhancing the property's operational capabilities. In addition, there are two substantial storage units as well as a large barn purpose-built for hay storage, with additional capacity to accommodate a full-sized horse lorry.

Situation

The property benefits from a highly convenient location, with day-to-day amenities readily available in the nearby villages of Beaulieu and Holbury. A Waitrose supermarket is situated in Hythe, offering a range of quality provisions. The city of Southampton lies within easy reach and provides an extensive selection of retail, leisure, and professional services, as well as a mainline railway station offering direct services to London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Southampton Airport Parkway, located approximately 16.5 miles from the property, further enhances regional and international connectivity.

For sailing enthusiasts, the area offers exceptional maritime facilities, with well-established yacht clubs at Bucklers Hard and Lymington providing direct access to the Solent and its renowned cruising waters.
