Dolebolion is an impressive and traditional livestock farm in west Wales extending to about 395 acres. The farm has been run by the owner and his family as a successful beef and sheep farm utilising the productive grassland in this scenic part of Wales. The farm provides a spacious and energy efficient farmhouse (EPC rating B) providing three reception rooms and four bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms) and a further bathroom and shower room. In addition, the farm includes an excellent range of modern outbuildings designed for feed, livestock and machinery set around dedicated hard standing yards. The outbuildings would suit a variety of other uses. There is also a traditional stone barn that has potential for conversion (stp – subject to planning). Set away from the farmstead, is a ruined house called Bronberllan. We have been informed by the owner that this property did have planning permission to be reinstated as a holiday let and that electricity supply was installed via underground cables from a transformer located on the farm. Also, that water and drainage pipes for guttering and wastewater are in place together with a cesspit with a soakaway facility. Over the years the owners have diversified the farm and produced a unique business avenue with an exciting two-mile twisting asphalt rally stage/testing track called the Bont Dolebolion Rally Stage that runs up and down the farm hills. The track is hired out on request to a specialist cars and automotive events organisers that hold a number of rally testing days, private hire events, car club events, vehicle, product testing (e.g. tyres), media days for marketing etc. An example is ‘Slip & Grip Automotive’: Website link: https://www.slipandgripautomotive.co.uk/bont-rally-stage/bont-dolebolion-rally-stage/14343/ In addition, there are large hard-standing yards/paddocks for the cars, lorries and car/testing crews etc. It is also used as a testing venue in advance of the Rali Ceredigion event. Agriculture and tourism provide the backbone to the county of Ceredigion (as is the case with Wales as a whole) and this unique farm with sport/leisure venture offers new owners the opportunity to carry it forward into the future and instil their own ideas.
