The owner is currently living on site in a mobile home next to the main lake. One condition of the successful planning permission is to remove the mobile home once the property is converted and in full operation.

At this stage of the build the property has huge potential for customisation (within planning regulations and consents).

This is great opportunity for anyone looking for a project to turn this into a private home within its own oasis
Given the location within the Lizard area and the outstanding views, this conversion represents a fantastic opportunity to obtain a family home in a stunning, idyllic location.
Please study the Cornwall Council planning portal (reference number PA21/06609) to ensure you are fully aware of any conditions placed upon the successful planning application.

Located in the most southerly peninsula in England, this conservation area and its numerous coves provide a rich range of natural habitats that will reward birdwatchers and naturalists.
For those souls brave enough to venture beyond RNAS Culdrose on to the Lizard Peninsula, there is the fascinating landscape of the Goonhilly Downs nature reserve to explore. It is a popular dog walking spot and there are lots of myths, legends, and actual historic ruins to explore on the walks. There is also an abundance of wildlife, including, rumour has it, the Manaccan beast — a puma like big cat.
