"Since time immemorial, Snowdonia has served as a safe haven from the world, and this farmhouse is in the happy position of being a remote oasis within it. On a 750-acre farm, with the nearest house half a mile away, Cader Isaf is king of all it surveys, commanding spectacular views of the Cader Idris mountain range. There's underfloor heating throughout, while outside there are footpaths to the Cregennan Lakes and the Mawddach Trail along the estuary to the sea at Barmouth." The Guardian This Grade II Listed C17 house is noted as one of the best preserved Snowdonia farms - it's the perfect location for those who love the mountains, but don't want to be too far from the beach. If the location here doesn't impress you, then little will. It's more about location than luxury here, ideal for walkers and those that want seclusion. It is more basic/ rustic than other cottages, but the location is first-class. Note we're also agents for Cader Isaf's sister farmhouse just a couple of fields away - find Cader Uchaf here.
