Coastal farm with stunning sea views and 28 acres of land right to the cliff face going to auction for £500k

If an uninterrupted view of the sea is your dream, then buying a property with land that runs right to the cliff face is your guarantee that no development will ever be built to block your longed for coastal vista.

Sea views add a premium to any property for sale, so a 28-acre site that includes a huge sea vista is surely going to blow the budget?

And if that 28-acre sea view is located along one of Wales' premium coastlines and comes with no immediate neighbours other than seagulls and sheep, it could understandably appeal to a new owner as a coastal home to be their forever home.

If this life by the sea sounds like an idyllic temptation, then maybe Ty Mawr farm is a property worth considering as a place to park your bucket and spade, and spend time strolling the coastline and immersing yourself in expansive, panoramic sea views.

But there's plenty of work to do at this Gwynedd farm before a long ramble near the water or a dive into the crystal blue ocean is a daily occurrence, as the property is in need of a full renovation project.

The main property of this bundle of buildings and slice of Welsh coast is a five bedroom, period property. According to the selling agent, the farmhouse offers two reception rooms, kitchen, laundry room and cloakroom, and a family bathroom, as well as the five bedrooms.

The former farmhouse sits nestled within a collection of farm outbuildings that also come as part of the sale. The extra properties include a stone building that the selling agent states has previously been granted planning consent for the conversion of a selection of the outbuildings into two self-contained holiday units.

The full planning, approved with conditions, was received in 2008 with a decision made in 2010 according to the Gwynedd Council planning website, further details can be found using reference number C08D/0545/30/LL.

The house and its outbuildings stand in approximately 28 acres of good quality grazing land, which extends down to the stunning north Wales coastline between Abersoch and Aberdaran.

The agent states that the land may be suitable for a number of alternative uses, subject to planning. And with a large slice boasting a continual coastal frontage, who wouldn't want to pitch their tent, park their caravan or camp in a yurt in this stunning spot?

And guests to your potential new holiday business can enjoy all that the gorgeous Llyn peninsula can offer, which surely includes the stunning beaches of the area.

One 'must visit' location is the golden white seashore of whistling sands at Porther beach where kids of all ages will be fascinated that, on a dry day, the sand makes a squeaky noise as you walk on it.

Porth Neigwl is the nearest beach to the farm and it's a real beauty; four miles of sprawling sand that is the glorious filling between two craggy headlands. Abersoch is the nearest major town and can boast a lovely beach of its own as well as a range of eateries and shops.

Guests, and residents, who adore history that involves unique properties will be delighted to find that the area can deliver on that too. Plas yn Rhiw is a quaint 16th century house with Georgian extensions owned by the National Trust, that offers beautiful formal gardens to wander around and sea views out over Porth Neigwl bay.

And a trip to the area would not be complete without at least a whole day wandering around the truly unique Italian-style coastal village of Portmeirion, where winding pathways lead through Riviera inspired houses, ornamental gardens, shops and cafes, and there's even a lawn featuring a giant chess board.
