Hi, if anyone is still looking round the Rhayader area, check out Clare Evans Estate Agent, she has a few smallholdings on her books. http://clareevansandco.co.uk/index.php/property-search/

I found my property looking online mainly through rightmove.co.uk and primelocation.com if that helps.
I hope to be up and "installed" in Wales by mid March at the latest and have the workshops up and running by April.

No, only dogs, fish, tortoise and poultry

 

[Annagain]

Looks wonderful. You'll be just down the road from us!

I thought you were in Cardiff Amymay?

I thought you were in Cardiff Amymay?

We moved to where we are now two years ago this week

 

[Annagain]

Ah I see, thought I hadn't gone mad!

As the first thread was removed for some unknown reason here's the continuation.
Completion is on the 27th, on the 30th I am driving down to pick the keys up and go in.
So looking forward to it, the heating has been on the last few days as temperatures are getting low there and the last thing we want are burst pipes at this stage.
I have to dig a pond out for our fish (15 large goldfish still sitting in our current pond) they will be in large holding tanks down there at the new place until I can.
Chickens will be in the lower garage/workshop until I can get their house put back up.
We are moving over about 5-6 weeks, this will allow me to move all animals and elderly Mother without too much stress!
There were people on my deleted thread that were also looking for property, how are you all getting on?
Have you had any luck?
We have a 2 acre field with ours, just deciding what to put in it to graze the grass down, sheep are the most popular of course and that will also help me get the dogs very used to sheep.

Good luck with the move - get to know your neighbours as soon as you can, they will help out with some sheep if you don't want to the hassle of owning your own

Thanks, I have already done that as news travels fast down there and they seemed to know we were coming almost before we did!
I have farmer friends down there who can lend me some sheep, I wouldn't want to own them as have never had sheep before, owned almost everything else just not sheep!

Good Luck Oz!!

Sheep? You do really have to 'want' to own them, otherwise they become a bit of a bind!! Perhaps next Spring you could take in half a dozen cade lambs. Not a lot of profit with the cost of milk powder and feed, but a great deal of fun!

Progress reports will be what we need.

Alec.

Best if luck in getting everyone/everything there without too much stress - sounds like you'll be having a good few trips. Perphaps allow time for a huge full English vegetarian breakfast or massive bowl of steaming oats porridge to keep the energy levels up for the first few hours.

Really hope it all goes well Oz, will look forwards to reading the moving sagas and updates

I missed the end of the previous thread - last I read you were going to Tregaron to view a place? Where did you end up?!

(Promise I won't use this information to stalk you, as intimidating as my above questions sound...)

……..

Ha, it'll take more than that to frighten Oz, he dreams of a stalker!

Yes thought about that a while ago and although I am not experienced with sheep my farmer friends can advise where necessary.

I ended up near Capel Iwan, in a place called Tanglwst , got a 2 acre field and workshops, plenty of room for my chickens and dogs and for us to grow lots of fruit and veg!

 

[cremedemonthe]

Alec.

Yes been there, had 2 stalkers in the past
Both mad women, must have been to like me! Oz

 

[cremedemonthe]

It's back, thanks TFC

 

[Alec Swan]

A blip!

I think that '… to this…' is infinitely preferable! :wink3:

Alec.

 

[Crosshill Pacers]

Great news

In a non-stalker manner I googled it to see where it was near and that's deepest darkest Wales at its best!

Best of luck with the move, I hope it all works out for you, the chickens, the dogs, the borrowed sheep and everything else!

yes, landline based it's less than 1 Mbps and I am on 60 here so going down the 4G route using mobile and a dongle plugged into laptop, still learning more about it but least I'll get better speeds!
