5 bed detached house for sale

Tynreithyn, Tregaron SY25

Set within approximately 30 acres of gently rolling Ceredigion countryside, with the dramatic Cambrian Mountains forming a breathtaking backdrop, Ty’n Gaer represents an exceptional lifestyle estate where privacy, leisure and opportunity combine seamlessly.

Approached via a private concreted lane and secure gated entrance, the property immediately conveys a sense of arrival. The modern country residence, constructed around 20 years ago as a replacement dwelling, offers beautifully presented and energy-efficient accommodation designed for contemporary rural living. Light-filled interiors, generous proportions and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape create a home that feels both refined and welcoming, perfectly suited to family life, entertaining and quiet retreat alike.

What truly elevates Ty’n Gaer, however, is the breadth of its offering beyond the main house.

At the heart of the estate lies a substantial purpose-built lake - a registered fishery stocked with coarse fish - providing not only a striking visual centrepiece but also genuine commercial potential. A charming timber BBQ lodge with pier sits at the water’s edge, creating an idyllic setting for lakeside gatherings, private events or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the setting as the sun lowers behind the hills.

The estate is exceptionally well equipped for equestrian and leisure pursuits. A comprehensive range of outbuildings includes a u-shaped stable block with multiple loose boxes and adaptable units, together with a separate substantial tractor barn and workshop, and additional livestock facilities. An enclosed all-weather arena with rubber surface and installed base for a horse walker supports year-round schooling, while a bridleway adjoining the property provides immediate access to outriding across open countryside.

Further enhancing the lifestyle appeal is a dedicated leisure space incorporating a games room and bar area, complemented by a large hot tub and spa room, along with shower facilities and scope for ancillary accommodation (subject to any necessary consents). This versatile space offers excellent flexibility for guest use, multi-generational living or potential business diversification.

The land itself comprises a mix of quality grazing and meadow, gently sloping and well suited to equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle enterprise use. Of notable historic significance, the grounds incorporate the site of Castell Flemish Roman fort - a rare and fascinating heritage feature that adds depth and character to this already remarkable holding.

Despite its peaceful and private setting just outside Tregaron, the property remains conveniently positioned for access to local amenities, the picturesque harbour town of Aberaeron and the vibrant university town of Aberystwyth, with its extensive shopping, healthcare and rail links. The celebrated Ceredigion coastline lies within easy reach, offering the perfect balance of rural seclusion and coastal accessibility.

Ty’n Gaer is far more than a country home. It is a complete lifestyle opportunity - whether as a private equestrian estate, lakeside retreat, diversified rural enterprise or multi-generational family residence - offering space, versatility and exceptional potential in one of West Wales’ most scenic settings.
