A plot of land in a highly sought after area in Bristol has failed to sell for three years - making it the oldest Rightmove listing in the city.
Plots in the Westbury-on-Trym area could sell for more than half a million pounds due to hungry developers seeking to regenerate properties for a tidy profit.
But the patch between Henbury Road and College Park Drive still hasn't been sold, despite the landlord originally thinking it could pocket them somewhere in the region of £250,000.
The 0.133 acre of land does not look like much, with several trees and large bushes completely covering the green space, curtailed by a small wall on one side, Bristol Live reports.
But its landowners, who are understood be abroad, overlooked a minor detail when they put it up for sale, namely that the trees are protected by a conservation order, meaning they can't be touched let alone removed.
It makes the land, from a developer's prospective, largely worthless.
And having been on the market since November 2016, it is the oldest listed property for sale on Rightmove in Bristol.
"It's a tough one," said a spokesman for Chappell and Matthews Estate Agents.
"There's a reason it hasn't been sold. There's a lot of trees there and they are in a conservation area.
"It will never sell."
The company claims it has been struggling to get hold of the landowner and says numerous emails have been left unanswered.
The advert reads: "Land/potential development. An enclosed mature plot subject to Planning Permissions.
"A mature enclosed site fronting College Park Drive just a short distance from Westbury Village in this highly sought after residential suburb of Bristol."
