Lot 2 at High Knockmurran offers about 90.29 acres (36.54 ha) of contiguous grazing, silage and arable land in a quiet Ayrshire farming landscape. Predominantly Grade 4(1) soils mean the holding is best suited to grass-based enterprises with short arable breaks for forage or cereals. Most boundaries are stock-proof and the land is served by a mains water supply.
The lot is registered for IACS with entitlements available by separate negotiation and lies outside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. The entire holding has Less Favoured Area status, which may qualify it for certain support schemes but also reflects more limited cropping potential. Access is via a private road (shared maintenance obligation) and the parcel rises from about 139m to 173m above sea level, offering good exposure and easy field layout for machinery.
Practical considerations are clear: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, reflecting the remote rural location. The area is described as very deprived and purchasers should be aware that the sale includes existing servitudes, rights of way and mineral and timber provisions as outlined in the title. The land is offered freehold and sold with standing and fallen timber, where owned.
This lot will suit commercial farmers looking to expand grazing or silage capacity, investors seeking an agricultural holding with IACS registration, or occupiers wanting a large, well-defined block with straightforward boundaries. It is not optimised for intensive arable cropping without significant investment in improvement works.
