A Rare Vineyard and Rural Holding in the Piddle Valley

Location

Muston Farm is situated in a rural yet accessible location, just one mile from the desirable Dorset village of Piddlehinton, with popular local pub The Thimble Inn, and five miles north east of the market town of Dorchester. The county town for Dorset, Dorchester offers a range of amenities and services and is a tourism hotspot owing to its easy access to the West Dorset Heritage Coastline and Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Description

Situated on a gentle, southeast?facing slope within the picturesque Piddle Valley, Muston Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established vineyard at the heart of rural Dorset.
Extending to approximately 89 acres, the property combines productive viticultural land, versatile pasture, water meadows and established woodland, offering both commercial and environmental potential.

Vineyard
The fully mature vineyard is planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the classic trio used in traditional?method sparkling wine.
A small but successful harvest has been taken over recent years, producing English Sparkling Wine and demonstrating the site’s suitability for high?quality viticulture.

Pasture & Woodland
Adjacent to the vineyard lies an area of pasture historically used for grazing livestock, naturally sheltered by a block of mature woodland.
This combination provides diversification options, ranging from continued livestock use to habitat enhancement or agroforestry?based enterprises.

Water Meadows & River Frontage
Bordering the B3143, the property includes attractive water meadows through which the River Piddle flows.
Traditionally grazed, this area lends itself equally well to a rewilding or biodiversity?offsetting project, capitalising on the natural hydrology and landscape character.

Agricultural Buildings & Planning Consent
10,000 sq ft agricultural building:
Full planning permission granted August 2020, positioned at the end of a central hardcore track. No construction has yet commenced, offering flexibility for the next owner’s requirements.

Existing steel?framed agricultural building:
Extending to approximately 12,500 sq ft, previously used by a local farmer for overwintering livestock.
This provides immediate functionality for storage, machinery housing or agricultural use.
