A dairy farm in Cumbria, complete with automated milking robots and a five-bedroom farmhouse, is on sale for £4.9 million.
Low Abbey Farm, located in Eden Valley near Penrith, has 347.34 acres of land, featuring permanent grassland, arable pastures and dense woodland.
The traditional farmhouse is nestled within views of the North Pennines area and Eden Valley.
John Coleman, head of Farm Agency, said: "This modern dairy farm has enjoyed considerable investment in recent years, in both the steading and the land.
"It includes the recent construction of a large new cubicle building, with a slatted floor and automated scraping system.
"It has a stunning position with a backdrop of the Cumbrian Fells, while the Lake District National Park is close at hand."
The stone farmhouse has four reception rooms and two bathrooms, and encompasses the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The farm also includes a 16,000-litre bulk tank, automated feed and cleaning system, cubicle housing for over 200 cows, about 2300m³ of slurry storage, open-sided straw barns and young stock holding pens among other provisions.
It accommodates up to an extra 400 head of cattle, indicating potential for change of use with relevant permissions.
Low Abbey Farm, a dairy operation with pedigree Holstein and Jersey herds, supports bull beef production and a sheep flock.
Currently, a significant portion of the farm's land is being utilised for growing winter wheat and spring barley.
The property is outfitted with a 30kW roof-mounted solar PV array, generating the majority of the farm's electricity needs.
It also organises a small syndicate shoot, providing eight to 10 days of sport.
The property is approximately 1.5 miles north of Kirby Thore and 10 miles from Penrith.
The sale for the dairy enterprise is being conducted through GSC Grays Farm Agency Department as a whole or in four separate lots.
