A substantial block of productive arable land totalling 248.19 acres (100.44 ha) in the Howe of the Mearns, offered as a whole or in two lots (Lot 1: 83.89 acres; Lot 2: 164.30 acres). The majority of the soils are classified as James Hutton Institute Grade 2, with some Grade 3(1), and the holding is registered for IACS purposes. Fields have been used for arable cropping and are well suited to potatoes, vegetables, malting barley and wheat, with an established local supply chain to support high-value cropping.
The site sits in a rural agricultural landscape approximately 60–75m above sea level, with direct access onto the public road network and no identified flood risk. It is roughly 5.8 miles north of Laurencekirk and 35.5 miles south of Aberdeen, providing reasonable road connectivity for farm logistics while remaining distinctly rural.
Practical considerations: tenure is currently recorded as unknown and will need clarification prior to purchase. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Any change from agricultural use would require planning permission; the land is presented primarily for agricultural investment rather than immediate development. The area is classified as remoter agricultural communities with higher levels of local deprivation, which may affect labour supply and local services.
For agricultural investors or operators seeking large, productive acreage in a recognised cropping area, Pittengardner offers scale, good soils and ready road access. Buyers should factor in legal title checks, potential condition-specific surveys, and planning constraints if considering non-agricultural uses.
