Lot 3 at West Leas is a substantial, contiguous block of productive farmland and woodland extending to 40.82 ha (100.87 acres). The parcel rises from the Rule Water to about 154m, with a southwesterly aspect, panoramic Borders countryside views and long stretches of double riverbank providing wildlife habitat and informal leisure potential such as wild swimming.
The holding is classed as grade 3.2 and offers a mix of productive pasture, silage ground and commercial and broadleaved woodland plantations that can provide a longer-term timber income. The land is IACS-registered (farm code 778/0014) and lies outside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone; it is designated within a Less-Favoured Area (LFASS).
Practical points for buyers: the lot is offered freehold at auction with a closing date of 25 September 2025. There are no Basic Payment Scheme Entitlements included (these belong to the current grazing tenant), and the land is let on a grazing agreement until 31 December 2025. Purchasers should expect to comply with GAEC/statutory management requirements and basics of cross-compliance once in occupation.
This parcel will suit a farm buyer, investor or someone seeking natural-capital and recreational potential. It is rural and relatively remote with average mobile signal but fast broadband, and carries typical rural servitudes, timber and sporting rights as included in the title.
