Palmers Farm - Palmers Farm comprises approximately 175.46 acres (70.18ha) of pasture, woodland and creek frontage on the northeast coast of the Island with extant planning permission for a substantial 7000 sq ft country house as well as two new agricultural barns. This unique ring-fenced estate includes areas of SSSI, IOWNL and RAMSAR as well as significant natural capital income potential.
Situation - Palmers Farm occupies a unique position on the north-east coast of the Isle of Wight, enjoying stunning views over The Solent as well as having water frontage to Kings Quay. The farm is accessed via its own private drive with the added benefit of no public or private rights of way running through the land providing complete privacy. Ferry links to Portsmouth and Southampton are both within close proximity.
Kings Quay is a stunning inlet that was recently described by the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now the IOW Natural Landscape) as "the last unspoilt inlet on The Solent''. It is a haven
for many species of wading birds. The Isle of Wight is celebrated as an international yachting and sailing venue, with the annual Cowes Week Regatta in August attracting competitors from all over the world. A full range of yacht and sailing clubs provide a social hub. There are nearby golf courses including St Georges, Freshwater & Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club.
Ryde School with Upper Chine is the main independent (HMC) School on the Island, offering co-education classes from pre-school to sixth form on a daily, full or weekly boarding basis. Many Island children commute to mainland schools such as Portsmouth Grammar, St Edward's and Hordle Walhampton Prep. There are good feeder links to conveniently located public schools such as Winchester College and St Swithuns' in Winchester, Bryanston, Canford, and the Sherborne schools in Dorset and Malborough College in Wiltshire. The Island is blessed with a number of boutique hotels and restaurants, including The George in Yarmouth, The Royal in Ventnor, The Hut in Colwell Bay and The Smoking Lobster in Ventnor and Cowes.
Lot 1 - Woodland/Creek Frontage - The land has high ecological value and biodiversity potential attracting wading birds and marine life into this unique landscape. Gently sloping towards the west, the land runs towards the picturesque Kings Quay which provides small boat access (subject to tide) to the sea, giving the opportunity to enjoy all the Solent has to offer. It includes areas of ancient woodland and benefits from SSSI and RAMSAR designations.
The new woodland was established in 2001 and managed under a woodland management plan. The woodland/creek frontage is split as:
Description Acres Ha
Woodland 60.51 ac 23.27 ha
Creek 4.87 ac 1.97 ha
