    An exceptional 18.33-acre land parcel in the heart of the Isle of Wight’s countryside, offering a modern 122 sq.m agricultural barn, mobile home, former livery yard and sand school, tucked away in the picturesque village of Gatcombe. Rarely available – a prime opportunity in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    Land, Sand School & Outbuildings

    McCarthy and Booker are pleased to present this rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of agricultural land in the heart of the Island’s rural landscape. Extending to 18.33 acres, the site sits on the southern edge of Gatcombe, a charming and historic village nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    The land is approached via a private gated entrance leading onto a hardstanding yard—perfect for machinery, parking or equestrian use. A metal-clad barn of approx. 122 sq.m (gia) offers excellent covered space and previously supported a working livery yard. There are 6 American style loose horse boxes with rubber matting and auto water. It benefits from a roller shutter door, full concrete flooring, and mains electric connection nearby (subject to verification).

    To the corner of the site lies a mobile home (not inspected). Adjacent to the yard is a level area formerly used as a sand school, with clear boundaries and gates leading into the main grazing paddocks. The fields are fully fenced and currently used for sheep grazing, but could support horses, agricultural crops, or alternative land-based enterprise.

    Planning & Potential

    Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, the site offers scope for a range of alternative uses including:
    Equestrian facility or riding school
    Glamping or rural tourism venture
    Horticulture, rewilding or agri-business
    Smallholding or agricultural enterprise
    Further development opportunities (STP)

    Planning is already in place for a livery
    Free water supply

    Location

    Gatcombe is a peaceful and picturesque village located just outside the county town of Newport. A sought after spot for nature lovers and equestrians alike, the area offers superb riding and walking routes through rolling hills and woodland. Despite its rural feel, Little Gatcombe Farm is conveniently placed within 5 minutes of Newport’s amenities and no more than 25 minutes from any point on the Island—including ferry terminals, beaches and schools.

    This is a wonderfully rare opportunity to secure a sizeable parcel of unspoilt land in one of the Isle of Wight’s most scenic and sought-after rural locations. With flexible usage and exceptional potential, this is an investment in land and lifestyle with a wide range of possibilities.
