The Ruby Country Lodge Park, Beaworthy, Devon, EX21 5TT

The Ruby Country Lodge Park offers buyers a significant opportunity to develop a new holiday park resort in a stunning and unspoiled part of Devon. The 16-acre site has been owned by our client for over 20 years; however, due to other business commitments, our client has held back from further developing The Ruby. The site already has 16 privately owned holiday lodges, each paying a yearly site fee. The holiday letting management of these units is also run by the site. The site currently has a total of 82 hard standings, 66 of which are unused.

Set in richly wooded parkland spanning over 16 acres, The Ruby Country Lodge Park is surrounded by unspoilt countryside with stunning views, offering a secluded and peaceful escape where visitors can relax and unwind.

Positioned right in the heart of what is known as Ruby Country, a particular part of Devon that is renowned for its idyllic and tranquil countryside, The Ruby is surrounded by rolling landscapes, winding lanes, abundant wildlife, and traditional Devon villages. Located close to the Cornwall border, the site provides easy access to many of the region’s biggest attractions, including Dartmoor National Park and the North Cornwall & Devon Coast.

Bude is just a 30-minute drive by car and offers stunning sandy beaches popular with families and water sports enthusiasts alike. The traditional market town of Okehampton is just 10 miles away, with the city of Exeter and its international airport just over 38 miles away.

Located to the south of the site and included in the sale is a rambling semi-derelict dwelling known as Metherell Towers. Due to the condition of the property, we have not been able to gain access; however, it is believed to contain nine bedrooms. Although needing total renovation, the property exudes huge amounts of character and is thought to have been built in the style of a French chateau. With significant investment, it is thought this would make a stunning home or possibly a small hotel (subject to planning consents).

A certificate of lawful use or development was issued in 1998 confirming planning consent for a static caravan site with 110 units of accommodation for holiday use only for a maximum of 6 weeks per person per year. A further amendment was made to the planning consent in 2005, which allows the site to be occupied for 11 months of the year, between 8th February and 8th January the following year.
