Offers in excess of £2 million have a crack at this beloved forest retreat, built by master woodworker Guy Mallinson across 13.25 acres of West Dorset 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’s Woodland Retreat. He’s decided it’s time to sell the business in full.

Each treehouse has been carefully constructed — 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.

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.
