The Property

Set within the beautiful Tamar Valley, this exceptional equestrian centre offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established mixed-use property, combining a successful riding school, holiday cottage business, multiple residential dwellings, and extensive equestrian facilities across approximately 27 acres of picturesque riverside countryside.

These established holiday rentals benefit from access to leisure facilities including an outdoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, BBQ area, and tropical gardens, creating a popular countryside retreat for visitors. Further grooms’ accommodation adds to the versatility of the site.
