Getting back to nature

A fascinating business opportunity has arisen with just over ten acres of pasture land available for sale in a wonderful location between Otterbourne and Brambridge, on the western bank of the Itchen. The land is available to purchase either on its own or together with an existing Alpaca Enterprise which comprises a breeding herd of approximately 40 animals which currently generates a revenue of approximately £100,000.

This exciting and rare opportunity is perfect for someone who is serious about running a sustainable business but with the satisfaction of getting back to nature and with all the advantages of a country lifestyle. Open to the public for an experience of ‘Walking with Alpacas’, this business currently operates at weekends between February and October, but from May it operates four days a week. Learn more about the existing business via the established website www.alpacas-hampshire.co.uk.

This is a wonderful part of the Hampshire countryside and is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest which Natural England oversees.  The current herd of these beautiful and gentle animals includes 13 males, 20 females and 8 young stock with an expectation of a further ten born each year. All alpacas are registered with the British Alpaca Society and if the Alpaca Enterprise is also being purchased, the Vendor will introduce a Purchaser to the herd and also operate the 'Walking with Alpacas' experience for six weeks post completion.

Price guides for the land and ongoing business are £150,000 and £125,000 respectively.

Viewing is strictly by prior appointment with the agent and those interested in getting back to nature should contact Dominic Plumpton at Giles Wheeler-Bennett’s office, Bishop’s Waltham telephone 01489 896977.  Sales Particulars are readily available on their website www.gileswheeler-bennett.co.uk
