In 2026, a major safari park—set to become the largest in Europe—will open nearby, offering further tourism potential and regional value appreciation.While no additional permanent structures are currently permitted due to local zoning protections, this limitation preserves the estate’s unique character, privacy, and natural charm for generations to come.
