A little piece of England.
Very good for the soul.

Someone has given you a piece of the world—one with green meadows, old trees, and the coast just a stone’s throw away. In Devon, you’ll find the perfect reason to take a little break. Make some tea. Let the wanderlust set in.

Your gift has a special place

Green, greener.
Hi, Devon.

Your property is located near Holsworthy in southwest England. Meadows, hedges, and old trees make a pretty compelling case for spending time outdoors here.

Relaxed country life begins in the area around the Holsworthy Hamlets. And if you’re in the mood for a breath of sea air, your next outing should take you to Bude and Widemouth Bay, right next door in Cornwall. Maybe you’ll take along the person who gave you this wonderful gift.

Someone was thinking of you

A small gift.
A pretty broad perspective.

Some gifts find a place on a shelf. This one finds a place in your story.

Someone wanted to give you something special: a personal connection to a real place. A reason to look forward to something, to enjoy the fresh air, and maybe even to share an adventure together.

Why don't you send a picture with the caption: "Look, that's where I want to go. Thanks for this wonderful gift."

And if the trip has to wait a little longer? Just thinking about England is already a good start.

Small plans. Beautiful stories.

Today’s calendar entry is “
: Just Enjoy.”

01

Picnic in the Countryside

A blanket, sandwiches, and a thermos. Find a nice spot on the property and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The mailbox will be just fine without you.

02

A Night Out

Staying overnight on the property is part of the experience. Bring your tent and the necessary gear. Check the weather, get comfortable—and listen to Devon as things quiet down.

03

A walk toward the ocean

First, the countryside air, then the sea air. Bude and the surrounding beaches are perfect for a day outdoors. And later? Maybe some fish and chips. Just by chance, of course.

Original photos. Genuine excitement.

This is what your piece of England looks like.

Hello, England · We're glad you're here

Meadows in my mind.
Sand in my shoes.

England has small country roads and big cities, rugged coastlines and cozy pubs. And sometimes the best travel plan is simple: let's just see where we end up.

Your property is located in lush Devon, close to Cornwall. Here, days at the beach and walks along the coast are obvious choices. It’s worth making a detour to London—with enough time to enjoy your favorite spots instead of just snapping the obligatory photos.

What if you just want to stay?

A leisurely day spent between meadows, walks, and a cozy pub is also a pretty good way to spend time in England. You don't have to work your way through a list of sights here.

Distances are rounded as the crow flies from the property coordinates to the respective destination; they are not driving distances or actual routes. The beach recommendation refers to Widemouth Bay, and the one for Dartmoor refers to Haytor. The road route is longer; check travel times before your visit.

A plate makes for a very nice break

Tea time.
And then something delicious.

Cream Tea. A cozy get-together.

Scones, clotted cream, jam, and a pot of tea. In Devon, tradition dictates that you put the cream on first, then the jam. Will you stick to that order? The main thing is that you take your time.

Fish and Chips as an example of how to serve it

Fish & Chips. Very tasty.

Crispy fish, fries, and the question: “Would you like a little more vinegar?” After a drive along the coast, this simple classic usually tastes especially good.

Good questions. Relaxed answers.

More excitement.
Fewer question marks.

A Landgeschenk is meant to bring joy. Here, we’ll explain what you’ll receive, who will take care of things, and what to expect when you arrive.

Your gift. No endless cycle of expenses.

One-time payment. No ongoing property costs. Managed by HappyLandGifts.

And for your visit? Pack your backpack, check the weather, and leave nature just as beautiful as you found it.

Will I have to pay any additional costs later on?

No. Pay once, enjoy it for a long time: There are no ongoing property costs or annual payments for your land gift. We also cover the property tax. Of course, you’ll be responsible for your own travel expenses and gear.

Do I have to deal with taxes, administrative matters, or government agencies?

No—we'll handle all the paperwork for the property. HappyLandGifts remains the owner and takes care of management as well as all legal and regulatory obligations associated with ownership. You can focus on looking forward to it.

What actually belongs to me—and what am I allowed to use?

Your personal share is assigned to you. You are granted the right to enter and use the entire property. Ownership of the property remains with HappyLandGifts; you do not become the owner through the land gift.

How long do my rights to the land last?

Your rights to the land are valid indefinitely. So your piece of England has no built-in expiration date.

What am I allowed to do there?

Have a picnic, read, relax, and spend the night in a tent. Nature stays just as it is: no buildings, no tree cutting, no planting, and no open campfires. Take your trash with you when you leave. And your memories, too.

Is the property a public park?

No. The property is private and reserved for use by HappyLandGifts landowners.

Can I transfer or bequeath my Landgeschenk?

That's not possible at this time. We're working on a solution for the transfer.

Where exactly is my little piece of England?

Near Holsworthy in Devon, in the southwest of England. Above, you’ll find a map, a site plan, and coordinates. Click on “Plan Route,” enter your starting point—your GPS will then guide you there. You choose the soundtrack.

Can I stay overnight on the property?

Yes, a night in a tent is part of the HappyLandGifts package. Bring your sleeping gear and everything else you’ll need for the outdoors. Check the weather and any current local advisories before your trip. With a little luck, the starry sky will provide the evening’s entertainment.

How much is my personal share?

The 195 m² is the total area of the property. You can find the size of your personal share on your deed or in your offer. The parcel map shows the entire parcel; individual land grants are not marked separately on it.

What should I pack in my backpack?

Water, sturdy shoes, protection from wind and rain, and clothing appropriate for the season. If you're spending the night outdoors, be sure to bring suitable sleeping gear. Snacks are also a pretty good idea. Check the weather one more time before you leave.

What is the purpose of the land registry—and how do I register?

Once you register using your name and email address, your land ownership will be activated and documented. Have your deed ready, open the registration form, and fill in the information—and just like that, your piece of England will be listed in our land registry.

Selected just for you. For beautiful memories.

Your piece of England.
Your next story.

Register your country gift, plan a visit, or share a photo with the person who gave it to you. Maybe “Thank you for this gift” will soon turn into “When are we going?”
