The beautiful Erme Estuary, part of the Flete Estate


The Flete Estate
South Hams, South Devon

The Flete Estate is a privately owned 5,000 acre estate and is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the beautiful South Hams, with arguably the finest views in the South West peninsula.

The Erme Estuary is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest encompassing large broadleaf woodlands, Victorian riverside walks, wonderful sandy beaches, little hamlets and a tantalising lacework of private drives and pathways.

Properties include a detached country house with breathtaking views, a fairy tale Gamekeeper’s Cottage, with spectacular ever changing views across the estuary and an exquisitely restored old Mill Cottage overlooking water meadows. All properties are wonderfully secluded and fully furnished to a high standard. Bed linen and towels are included in the price.
