TWO GRADE 2 ARABLE LAND OPPORTUNITIES LAUNCHED FOR SALE NEAR TADCASTER

Two substantial parcels of Grade 2 agricultural land near Tadcaster are for sale with rural property consultancy Lister Haigh, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire productive arable land in a well-regarded farming district of North Yorkshire.

The first and larger offering is at Wighill Park, close to Tadcaster, where 78.4 acres of freehold land is available with a guide price of £840,000. The land comprises a single block of predominantly Grade 2 arable ground, with approximately 72 acres currently sown with winter barley. The land has a strong cropping history, having previously supported productive combinable and root crops.

In addition to the arable acreage, the holding includes 6.07 acres currently laid to grass. Catherine Johnston, rural surveyor at Lister Haigh, said: “This area offers flexibility for habitat management, environmental schemes or sporting use, adding diversity to what is otherwise a highly workable arable unit.”

The second parcel, located off Wighill Lane at Healaugh, extends to approximately 16.15 acres and is being marketed with a guide price of £190,000. This well-positioned field benefits from road frontage on two sides, with direct access from the north-eastern boundary off Wighill Lane, a feature likely to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors.

Currently sown with a second winter wheat crop, the land has a proven record of producing productive combinable crops and is also capable of supporting potato cultivation.

Catherine added: “Opportunities to acquire Grade 2 arable land of this quality and scale, particularly in such a strong farming location near Tadcaster, are rare. Both parcels offer proven productivity, practical access and flexibility, whether buyers are looking to expand existing operations, invest in farmland, or secure land with longer-term strategic value.”

“The Wighill Park land will appeal to those seeking a sizeable, coherent block, while the Healaugh parcel offers an attractive smaller unit with excellent road frontage. We are already seeing solid early interest, reflecting the continued strength of demand for good quality Yorkshire farmland.” For further details, contact our Lister Haigh team on 01423 860322.
