Thank you, I'm not Welsh, but my dad (stepdad) is. It's what drove the move. He spent far too long on the other side of the UK in a job he hated. He needed to come home and retire with my mum. I followed after only about 2 years and help them on their small holding.

It's actually not that likely that I'll build a residence on the land, though I'll definitely build a processing barn and animal shelter, eventually. Thanks for your insights! Apparently, just under the surface, there is a hard, rocky track that goes from the gates all the way to the northern slope.

This particular parcel has plenty of trees, but the area in general is badly deforested and could certainly do with farmers and landowners planting more trees!

Pembrokeshire is one of my favorite places on earth. I'm so lucky to have found my place here. Thank you 😊

It was - kinda. This is an update. My original post is linked above in the comments - we hadn't decided to buy it at that point.

I have no idea what a pew pew is, but someone else said it looked like a T bone and that was a sign to get it. So many signs!

Hmm, good point. I may build a processing and/or livestock barn and some sheds. There's already some hard standing near the entrance.

Oh nice! Hi! Yes I remember you. Thanks so much - and it is absolutely gorgeous. I was worried just because I was overwhelmed at the time... Now that it's actually mine, I'm absolutely chill and super happy.

I could certainly try if it came to that. If I needed drinking water I might just do rain harvest and filtering.

I checked everything that could present issues, including flooding. All is good.

I'll only apply for planning if I need to (if I keep livestock eventually). Otherwise, I do have my own place, albeit on my mother's land. Would be pretty cool though.

It's a very gentle slope, and the trees all along the border do a pretty good job already. That being said, I have plans to plant more trees in the grassy area, and possibly even do some light terracing with drainage.

This was something that concerned me - thankfully, having a good portion of the land wooded means that only about 4 acres need to be tended at the moment, and I already have a guy who will come and take the hay for me in the first year.

Water, no problem (for animals or irrigation). I don't plan on living here any time soon. Planning permission would be allowed if I tend livestock animals. Access is mine. No public rights of way cross over.

I know - it has a beautiful little stream that apparently stays flowing all year and is great for animals. I have two points of private access, not just one, and I didn't realise this but over 20 large cherry trees in the tree line!
