An well-equipped, commercial dairy farm extending to 457 acres has come to market in Devon.
Langaford Farm in Ashwater near Beaworthy has cubicle housing for up to 430 cows, a five-year old Pearson parlour and highly productive pasture.
It has a five bedroom farmhouse together with a four bedroom bungalow which has an agricultural occupancy condition.
The land totals 457 acres in all and is divided into three blocks, the main block comprising 320 acres with two off lying land parcels, all of which are down to pasture.
Langaford has benefitted from recent investment including a new parlour in 2017 and further building, together with a highly effective re-seeding programme, the rewards of which are now apparent.
Langaford is currently operating a fully housed, all year round calving system with an average herd size of 400 with around 360 in milk.
The cows are averaging 12,000 litres sold on three times a day milking.
The farm is located in an area that grows exceptional levels of grass, typically foraging four to five cuts a year.
The farm is also well equipped for equestrian purposes and there is a useful range of stabling with potential to expand.
The farm lies within a renowned farming area of gently undulating landscape with a mixture of productive farmland and commercial forestry offering farming, conservation, sporting and amenity potential.
Langaford Farm is available as a whole or in three lots.
It is on the market with Savills, with a guide price of £4,950,000.
