Own Your Secret Gardens

Discover England's premier private lodge collection.

Private Secret Garden lodge terrace with hot tub and outdoor living space

Imagine a place that's entirely yours.

Tucked away from the world, surrounded by nature, and waiting whenever you choose to visit. A private sanctuary where you set the rules, enjoy it on your terms, keep it as private as you want it, and let it work for you when you're away.

That's the essence of Liv Secret Gardens.

Beyond the Holiday Let

Liv Secret Gardens isn't a timeshare. It isn't a property management scheme or an investment product that forces you to choose between using your lodge or profiting from it.

It's full, private ownership of a beautifully designed lodge with an optional rental income programme, built around the reality that most affluent buyers want flexibility, not compromise.

Own it when you want it. Let it generate income when you don't. The choice is entirely yours.

What Makes a Secret Garden Special

Every Liv Secret Garden is thoughtfully designed and elegantly screened, creating an intimate outdoor sanctuary that's yours alone. Whether you're seeking a personal escape or a canvas for your own vision, each lodge combines:

The Secret Garden isn't just an outdoor space, it's the defining feature that sets Liv ownership apart. It's your personal retreat, personalised to suit the way you want to escape.

The Ownership Model: Flexibility Built In

Liv is built around second home ownership first, with the optional rental programme as a secondary benefit, not the primary driver.

Own It. Enjoy It. Let It Work For You.

Private use whenever you choose

Use your lodge as your personal sanctuary, there are no blackout dates, no booking-site interference, no middlemen. It's yours to visit whenever you want.

Optional rental support

When you're not using your lodge, put it in our professionally managed rental pool. We handle guest management, maintenance, cleaning, everything. You simply receive a share of the rental income.

Flexible opt-in, opt-out

Want to take your lodge off the rental market for three months? Done. Want to activate it again? No problem. Your lodge, your rules.

Hassle-free ownership

Maintenance, repairs, ground rent management, we take care of it all. Ownership is genuinely hassle-free.

Why Liv Secret Gardens Stands Apart

Only 30 released annually

Scarcity is genuine. We release just 30 Secret Gardens a year across all six locations, ensuring exclusivity and protecting the experience for existing owners.

First of its kind in the UK

The concept didn't exist in the UK market before. You're not buying into a crowded sector; you're part of something pioneering.

Exclusive plots across premier locations

Every plot is hand-selected within our Secret Garden parks. You're not competing with dozens of similar lodges; your location is genuinely exclusive.

Own it, visit it, make it entirely yours

Unlike fractional ownership or holiday clubs, you own the lodge outright. No shared title, no time-slot restrictions, no corporate middlemen.

FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Yes. If your lodge is in the rental pool, you simply need to book your private use in advance. If you opt out of rental, it's exclusively yours whenever you choose.
What happens to maintenance and upkeep?
We manage all maintenance, repairs, and upkeep. You don't lift a finger. Ownership is genuinely hassle-free.
What if I don't want the rental income option?
That's entirely your choice. Use it purely as a private second home, with no rental programme at all.

Absolutely. Many owners customise their gardens further, from hot tub placement to landscaping to seating arrangements. You can make it entirely yours.
