British forest with its own gold mine on the market for £3.75m

A British forest with its own gold mine is on the market for £3.75m. The 500 acre piece of land, called Cae Gwian in Gwynedd, Wales, has been put up for sale by its owner - a famous best-selling wine author.

Although the site features a rare gold and copper mine, the £3.75mil estate lacks an actual house. The 19th-century copper gold mine found on site has been out of use since 1900, but potential buyers can still spot the ruined mill building.

The old mine office has also been semi-restored, with the current owners using it as a shelter and picnic spot. The land itself is also up to gold-standard, having been rated one of the best medium-sized forest in wales and being awarded with gold for the best managed woodland.
