The compound boasts more than a dozen buildings and was first put up for sale in June 2015 for roughly £20million.

With more than a dozen buildings, it boasts two swimming pools, a gym, a skate park, a restaurant with a professional kitchen, a launderette and a garage.
A church on the site has been converted into a guest house with the confession box converted into a wardrobe.
The family used the on-site restaurant as their dining room and the main house, which boasts 4,300 sq ft has five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and an art studio.
There are also several cottages for guests and a wagon that has been fitted out with a bathroom and kitchen.
Alexander Kraft, chairman of Sotheby’s International Realty France, who previously listed the property, revealed that "Johnny had decided to sell the Plan de la Tour property to close this chapter of his life and move on.
"He hopes that someone else will enjoy the property as much as he did and bring him or her the same happiness it brought.
"It was in a pretty rough state."
