Offers in excess of \u00a32 million have a crack at this beloved forest retreat<\/a>, built by master woodworker Guy Mallinson across 13.25 acres of West Dorset<\/a> woodland. Recognised with four RIBA architectural awards, the property is anchored by three treehouses raised high in a canopy of veteran oaks by self-supporting structures that never touch the trees themselves. Screw-pile footings replace concrete, allowing the forest floor, root systems and water courses to remain intact. For more than 15 years Mallinson let them out to holiday-makers under the banner of Mallinson\u2019s Woodland Retreat. He\u2019s decided it\u2019s time to sell the business in full.<\/p>\n

Each treehouse has been carefully constructed \u2014 reclaimed telegraph poles, coppiced sweet chestnut and timber boardwalks shape a network of spaces that feel both deliberate and restrained. Interiors are compact but considered, opening outward to filtered light, views across the Axe Valley and a landscape managed for biodiversity. Alongside the RIBA awards, the approach has earned a Visit England Gold accolade and ROSE award.<\/p>\n

The estate includes woodland, meadow, workshops and ancillary buildings, with planning consent in place for five additional treehouses. Sold as a going concern with forward bookings into 2026, the property sits within the Dorset National Landscape, 10 miles from Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast. <\/p>\n
