Lot 1 at Sandilands is a substantial, productive farm unit offered for sale by auction — attractive to commercial farmers and rural investors. The sale includes a spacious four-bedroom stone farmhouse with biomass boiler and solar panels, a habitable three-bedroom cottage in need of modernisation, and a large complex of traditional and modern agricultural buildings. Approximately 90.11 ha (222.65 acres) of mainly Grade 3.2 pasture and arable ground lie in well-fenced blocks with good internal tracks and water supplies.
Practical farm infrastructure is strong: a 2018 concrete slurry store (1005m3), 150-ton grain tower, multiple cubicle and cattle sheds, silage storage and feeding areas provide immediate capacity for beef, sheep and arable operations. The property sits a short distance from Lanark and a few miles from the M74, giving convenient access to markets, machinery dealers and veterinary services.
Buyers should note material points: the three-bed cottage requires modernisation, minerals are expressly excluded from the sale, and there is an historic sporting lease affecting shooting rights. Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements are available for purchase; any 2024 scheme payments will be retained by the seller. The land lies within a Less Favoured Area and contains some localised steep bankings which may limit certain operations.
This lot is offered either as part of the whole estate or individually within a three-lot sale. Closing date for offers is Wednesday 4 June 2025 at 12 noon. The combination of ready-to-run buildings, substantial acreage and renewable-energy fittings provides a clear commercial platform for an expanding enterprise or a long-term investment in productive Scottish farmland.
