Some 94 acres of land - identified as being well suited to be transformed into vineyards - is up for sale in the county.
And if you're a budding, or established winemaker, the land, in Hawkhurst, close to the Kent/East Sussex border, could be yours for just under £1million.
Commercial property firm BTF Partnership is handling the sale of the land to the south east of the village.
Currently divided into four fields, the land is primarily south and south east facing and between 15-18 metres above sea level.
The soil is a combination of Wealden clay and Tunbridge Wells sand. Over recent years it has been devoted to the production of cereal crops.
Richard Thomas, director at BTF Partnership, said: “The three eastern fields are considered suitable for establishing vines as they are well sheltered and south-east facing. This is one of the largest parcels of land suitable for vine planting to come for sale in this area for some time, and I think it will generate considerable interest from a variety of purchasers."
The land is up for sale with a guide price of £975,000.
