Situated in the spectacular North Dorset escarpment on the edge of the Cranborne Chase AONB, Ranston Estate is a family-run estate committed to modern and sustainable land management.

Our land consists of primarily arable land, complimented by downland and parkland grass, and managed forestry. We actively participate in Environmental Land Management Schemes and have recently established a local farmer cluster. Alongside in-house farm management, we provide extensive contract farming services, overseeing a significant area for neighbouring landowners.

Diversification is at the core of our approach. We are committed to renewable energy, operating a woodchip and biomass boiler business alongside multiple solar energy projects. A long-established commercial and residential property portfolio provides further diversification. The estate is also home to a highly regarded shooting enterprise, offering an exceptional sporting experience underpinned by responsible land and wildlife management.

In addition, Ranston has a sister company, Wessex Internet, an independent ISP and fibre network provider dedicated to improving rural connectivity. Wessex Internet operates as a tenant on the estate, delivering fast, reliable broadband to communities across the region. The estate remains focused on long-term sustainability, economic resilience, and innovation across all areas of operation.
