Tour the world-renowned £15million Welsh vineyard

A world-renowned Welsh vineyard that produces 100,000 bottles of award-winning wine each year is on the market for a cool £15million.

Ancre Hill Estates, near Monmouth, is tucked away in the Welsh Borders and boasts an enormous 137 acres of land – including a whopping 29.5 acres of vines.

At the heart of the estate is a sprawling six-bedroom mansion, which also comes with a wonderful outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court.

And let’s face it, if you live on a vineyard, you’ll need somewhere to sweat out your hangovers, right?

The listing also includes Newton Court Farm, which is comprised of a newly renovated four-bedroom farmhouse along with a range of traditional buildings that could potentially be used for wine tourism, subject to planning.

But if you fancy eloping to the countryside, perhaps for a change of career, you’ll be interested to know that this vineyard supplies some of the world’s top restaurants – including French chef Raymond Blanc OBE.

The beautiful estate, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is home to more than 30,000 vines which are mostly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Although if you’re more of a cider fan, this place also boasts a cider apple orchard.

The Ancre Hill Estates brand, a biodynamic vineyard, has been recognised in some of the top international wine competitions in the world and won the Bollicine del Mondo in 2012 when its 2008 Sparkling Wine was voted the best White Sparkling Wine in the world.

It’s also been recognised far and wide with stockists including Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

The main residence, though, is a stunning period property with a bounty of charming features. You’ll find a glorious open-plan kitchen, farm-style orangery, and there’s even a rustic wine tasting bar.

This property is listed for sale with Savills.
