Kingsland Farm, ME12

Kingsland Farm is an extraordinary wilderness location set on an island in the Thames. Over 3,000 acres of nature reserve include a wide mix of watercourses, marshes and grazed land, with 3 miles of private track offering the most inspiring journey through it.

The stunning landscape flanks the estuary and the farm boasts tranquil private coastline backdrops as well as far-reaching wild expanses, with wonderful architectural surprises including a beautiful Kent barn and an isolated brick hay store.

A mixture of traditional and modern shepherds huts, bell tents, cabins, cottages, and a lovingly restored 17th Century farmhouse with beautiful, far reaching views are all available for a variety of interiors (if not being used by holiday guests).

  • Wild marshland, grassy areas and watercourses including lakes and ditches
  • A managed nature reserve with an impressive spread of birdlife, hides and nature trails
  • Grazing cattle (most of year) and sheep (winter)
  • 3 miles of well maintained private tracks, extending to the coastline
  • Isolated brick farm buildings, as well as a main farmyard with flagship Kent barn, cow byre, farm sheds and houses.
  • Glamping huts, bell tents, cabins, cottages and a 17th century farmhouse
  • Small outcrop of established woodland with clearings and fallen trees, offering a very different feel to wild marshes. Guinea fowl and chicken roam.
  • On the estuary side, a couple of large industrial powerhouses provide drama to a horizon
