Haughhead Farm is a sizeable, productive block of freehold farmland about 41.99 ha (103.76 acres), offered as a whole or in four lots. The soils are Grade 4.2 arable and pasture, historically used for cereal rotations, temporary grass and livestock fodder, with good gate and road access directly onto Haughhead Road and the A70. The land sits close to Balerno and within easy reach of Edinburgh, Livingston and transport links including Edinburgh Airport.
The holding is well suited to commercial farming, equestrian uses or amenity purposes, and already accommodates modern machinery sizes and some contract cropping. Benefits include IACS registration, included timber and sporting/mineral rights (where owned), fast broadband to the area and no recorded flood risk. The Water of Leith runs adjacent to parts of the boundary, adding ecological value and a wildlife corridor.
Buyers should note practical and legal considerations: 2025 Basic Payment Scheme payments will be retained by the seller, and any BPS entitlements transfer is by separate negotiation. A 10% deposit is required on conclusion of missives, and Lot 1 will carry a 30% clawback on non-agricultural uplift (excluding poultry) for 30 years if subsequent planning is granted. There is an underground gas main along the eastern boundary of Lot 1 and the sale is subject to existing rights of way, servitudes and any third-party interests.
This opportunity will suit farmers seeking productive acreage close to Edinburgh, investors looking for long-term land asset exposure, or those exploring alternative uses subject to planning. Viewings are strictly by appointment and purchasers must comply with anti-money laundering identification requirements prior to conclusion of missives.
