Stunning 5.4m/18ft did white canvas yurt, with insulated floor, and woodturning stove - £
I am selling this beautiful yurt, which was made by Avalon Yurts (master yurt craftsmen) to my bespoke requirements in . With a 5.4m / 18ft diameter and generously high at the eaves, this yurt comfortably accommodates 2-4 for living, sleeping, eating etc. MADE BY MASTER CRAFTSMEN As with all Avalon Yurts, this yurt boasts a hand bent solid wood frame and hand knotted side walls (kana), adding to the beauty of the interior. The canvas is military grade 'core spun' cotton duck (which means a natural cotton outer, spun around a strengthening core of synthetic fibre). It has a white canvas base (roof and walls) with a sand coloured crown fitting and tensioning band. As you can see from the pictures (which were taken in late October) it has a painted pine door, and 2 clear PVC windows and a clear PVC crown, which means not only is it weatherproof, it is also spacious and light by day, and great for star watching at night. COMES WITH FLOOR AND FIRE The yurt comes complete with an insulated floor (which prevents a lot of cold rising from the ground and greatly adds to user comfort - and saves a lot of fire wood!) The Marine Ply finish means it is easy to maintain and looks great with just a few scatter rugs. The last two pictures show the size of the main floor pieces and depth of insulation. Easily manageable with two people to lift and fit via the simple screw system. Again this floor is made by a proper craftsman and built to last. The yurt also comes with a good sized wood burning stove and flue, which is sited to the left of the door and vents out of the canvas through a silicone valve (for safety). This design frees up masses floorspace within the yurt (unlike a traditional Mongolian layout where the centrally sited fire cuts the living space in two) Since acquiring the yurt, I lived in it through a couple of Summers, then for the last three seasons it has been sited at an eco-retreat where it yielded a generous rental income of up to £600 a week between May and September. The owners (quite sensibly) want to buy a new yurt so they can keep a new / used stock rotation and also (quite sensibly) want to keep 100% of the income instead of giving a % away!) As I no longer have my own land to site a yurt, I am reluctantly selling up. Condition: The canvas is in good condition, considering it is half way through its expected 10 year life. (The frame should last many many more years with careful handling, storing, regular oiling etc). The roof canvas is slightly speckled on one side due to tree overhang in , but the walls and roof were professionally cleaned and reproofed with top-of-the-range Rot, Water and Fire Resistant proofing at the start of this season. There is one minor tear in the roof on the other side which is fully mended with ripstop canvas tape.
