Established Solar Farm and Productive Arable Land for Sale – Desford Road, Leicestershire.

Howkins & Harrison is thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for investors in renewable energy. For sale as a whole, this offering encompasses an established solar farm and a block of highly productive arable land, all extending to approximately 70.82 acres (28.66 hectares). Located with excellent access and road frontage off Desford Road, this property is a rare find that combines sustainable energy production with fertile farming and environmental potential.

Features:

6MW Established Solar Farm: This solar farm is not just an investment in renewable energy but also a steady source of income. With a capacity of 6MW, it represents a significant contribution to sustainable energy goals and offers potential for future expansion or technological upgrades.

2023 Basic Rent £35k: The solar farm currently generated a basic rent of £35,000 per annum for 2023, with a further annual top-up to follow providing a reliable income stream that enhances the financial attractiveness of this opportunity.

Productive Arable Land: The property includes a substantial block of arable land, known for its productivity and suitability for a variety of crops. This land is ideal for those looking to expand their agricultural operations or to invest in high-quality farming land.

Amenity and Environmental Potential: Beyond its immediate uses, the property holds significant amenity and environmental potential. It could be further developed for recreational purposes, conservation projects, or other environmentally beneficial initiatives such as Biodiversity Net Gain or woodland planting.

Excellent Frontage and Access: The property boasts excellent frontage and access off Desford Road, ensuring ease of transport and logistical advantages. This makes it ideal for both agricultural activities and the maintenance and operation of the solar farm.

Investment and Growth Potential

Tim Howard, Partner at Howkins & Harrison states “This offering is not just about immediate returns; it’s about future growth and sustainability. The established solar farm is a testament to the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, and owning such an asset positions the buyer at the forefront of the green energy revolution. Furthermore, productive arable land offers numerous possibilities for diversification and enhancement, whether through traditional farming, innovative agricultural practices, or environmental stewardship, as well as the current tax advantages that owning land offers.”

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Sustainability: In an era where investors highly prize sustainability, this property perfectly blends renewable energy and agricultural productivity.

Income Security: The existing rental income from the solar farm adds a layer of financial security, making it a low-risk, high-reward investment.

Versatility: With its mix of arable land and energy production, the property offers diverse avenues for revenue and development.

Strategic Location: With excellent road frontage and access, this property offers great connectivity and ease of management.
