Buying farm land in Devon

Devon presents exceptional land opportunities across its remarkably varied landscapes, from the fertile agricultural valleys of the South Hams and Mid Devon to the rugged moorlands of Dartmoor and Exmoor and the pristine coastlines of the Jurassic Coast. The county offers some of the UK's most productive farming land, particularly for dairy, beef, and arable farming, with excellent soil quality and established agricultural infrastructure. The South Hams region is particularly renowned for its prime agricultural land, while Mid Devon provides excellent opportunities for mixed farming operations. Beyond farming, Devon's coastal areas and market towns like Exeter, Plymouth, and Torquay present attractive development opportunities, with growing demand for residential and holiday properties. The county benefits from improving transport links, including the A38, M5 corridor, and expanding rail connections, while maintaining its rural character. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks offer unique opportunities for rural retreats and lifestyle properties, though with planning restrictions. The tourism industry provides additional income streams for land with holiday accommodation potential. Devon land appeals to farmers seeking productive agricultural holdings, developers targeting coastal and market town locations, lifestyle buyers seeking rural living with modern amenities, and investors looking for holiday accommodation or tourism-related opportunities. With its combination of productive farmland, stunning landscapes, strong local economy, and growing tourism sector, Devon offers excellent long-term investment potential across multiple land use sectors.

What should I check before buying land in Devon?

Check the title and boundaries with HM Land Registry, confirm legal access and rights of way, look at flood risk on the government flood map, and ask about services such as water and electricity. Agricultural land may carry restrictions or tenancies, so a solicitor and, for larger purchases, a land agent or surveyor are worth involving early.

Can I build on land I buy in Devon?

Only if planning permission is granted. Most agricultural and amenity land has no automatic right to build a house, so speak to the local planning authority for Devon or a planning consultant before you buy if you hope to develop. Listings marked as development land are more likely to have planning in place or potential.
