Lower Sandy Down, Boldre, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41

Set within approximately 18 acres of breath-taking park-like grounds, this remarkable split-level residence offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquillity, and natural beauty. Designed by a leading architect, the home blends harmoniously with its idyllic surroundings, which include mature woodland, two serene lakes, a meandering stream, and a private swimming pool.

The residence itself is thoughtfully arranged into east and west wings, offering five well-appointed bedrooms and an abundance of versatile living space. Highlights include a generous living/dining area, a magnificent drawing room with expansive views, and a layout ideal for both family life and entertaining.

Located just outside the renowned sailing town of Lymington, the property enjoys a secluded, protected position within the New Forest National Park, where wildlife thrives - from deer and birds to waterfowl frequenting the lakes.

This is a truly rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive country home in one of the South Coast's most desirable and unspoilt locations.
