Hey Guys, i am in need of your advice

There is a two acre field next to the where my horse is. This field is at the back of a house which is up for sale. The owners placed the field for sale seperate to the house a couple of years ago, but now have it included in the house sale. I do not know how much the owner was asking for.

Is it worth me looking into buying it, I have no idea how much a two acre grazing field is worth, so if you guys have any idea i would appreciate it. There will needs to be some fencing work done and there is currently no water supply.

P.s my parents currently think im mad buying a bit of land for a horse, so they are currently no help


Thanks
Kirsty xx
 
Hard one to answer as land values vary considerably over the country, plus what standard of grazing it is, etc. Land round here is about £2-3k per acre, unless it is suitable for horses, in which case it pretty much quadruples in price :(
 
agricultural land is roughly (as Mrs M says) about 2-3K/acre, depending on where you are in the country.

Land adjoining property, suitable for horses and in horse-sized packages, is as much as the vendor wants to ask and the purchaser prepared to pay.

Friend of mine asked a neighbouring farmer for a 3 acre part of his corn field, which backed onto her cottage. He didn't want/have to sell - she really really wanted it - he asked her £70,000

I know of a 0.75 piece of land, on a crossroads of a lane and a busy B road - sold for £32,000 a couple of years ago

Depends where you are in the country as well - we are in Gloucestershire where demand way outstrips supply......

BTW no water supply is not a problem to farmers as they'll just put one of those big bowsers full of water in. It's more of an issue for horse owners!
 
Hey guys' thanks for this, i am in Norfolk.

The ground itself is good, bit of a drainage problems, its on a hill and water collects at the bottom. I have asked a couple of friends who have said 4k and acre at the most. I cant see a farmer wanting it, its there back garden but does have seperate access.
