Lot 1 at Mains of Boquhapple offers a rare, large-scale block of productive Grade 3.2 arable and grassland close to Thornhill and Stirling. The holding extends to about 54.23 ha (134.00 acres) with a modern steel portal-frame general-purpose shed, mains water supply to the building and good internal and roadside access for farm vehicles.
The land has a history of cereal and temporary grass rotation and includes a field currently under a seasonal cropping licence for potatoes — entry to that field will be available after the 2025 crop is lifted. There is a small area of mixed amenity woodland and generally a southerly aspect with ground rising from c.30m to c.89m above sea level, suitable for conventional arable, forage, and livestock operations. Basic Payment Scheme Entitlements (BPSE) units may be available by separate negotiation; the lot is not within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.
Practical sale terms to note: vacant possession on completion (subject to the seasonal cropping licence), a 10% non-refundable deposit, and an obligation for the purchaser to take over agreed ingoing valuations for crops, inputs and stores. Mineral, timber and sporting rights are included only insofar as they form part of the title. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal; local area is classified as remote with higher area deprivation metrics.
This lot will suit commercial farmers, agricultural investors or those seeking a large operational holding within easy reach of Stirling, major road links and rural recreation. Inspect with care around buildings, watercourses and working land; viewings by appointment only and closing date applications apply.
