An area of Lake District fell is up for sale with the guide price of £600,000.
H&H Land & Estates is marketing the area of Harter Fell, which extends to around 428.5 acres at the head of the Longsleddale Valley.
H&H Land & Estates said: “Historically, fell land has formed an integral part of hill farming systems, providing valuable summer grazing for sheep while allowing lower ground to be rested for silage and winter forage.
“Increasingly, however, holdings such as Harter Fell are also being recognised for the role they can play in supporting habitat management, biodiversity enhancement and wider environmental objectives.”
George Carney, rural surveyor at H&H Land & Estates, said: “As a company, we rarely see opportunities like Harter Fell come to the market.
“Blocks of fell land of this size and quality seldom become available.
“It is an excellent summering fell with good natural water supplies and very little bracken or rock outcrop.
“Traditionally, land like this has been highly valued by neighbouring hill farmers looking to strengthen their grazing capacity, but today it also offers significant opportunities for those interested in environmental schemes, biodiversity and natural capital.
“It is an exceptional block of land with genuine long-term value, and we expect interest from a broad range of purchasers.”
The holding comprises around 411.43 acres of summer grazing with 17.10 acres of recently planted woodland.
The single block features natural water supplies, including the source of the River Sprint, post and wire boundaries and sections of traditional dry-stone walling.
The land is currently entered into an Environmental Stewardship agreement, which runs until May 31 2028.
