Purpose-built dairy complex and extensive pasture—ready for commercial production.
c.338 acres of mainly ploughable pasture and productive grassland
Garryhorn Farm is a large, purpose-built dairy holding of c.338 acres in productive South Ayrshire pasture. The new dairy complex (2009) offers modern, high-capacity facilities including a 50-point rotary parlour, 500 cubicles, extensive silage pits and large slurry storage, supported by a 180 kW solar array installed in 2022. The holding is set up for commercial milk production with separate original steading used for young stock and good mains water to troughs throughout the fields.
The land is predominantly ploughable pasture used for grazing and silage, with about 40–50 acres in an annual spring wheat/ reseeding rotation. The farm is bisected by a minor public road and sits between 108m and 210m above sea level, offering a variety of grazing ground and internal access tracks. The sale includes three staff-type residences (3–4 bedrooms each) with an EPC rating of C; two larger houses on the holding are excluded but may be purchased separately by negotiation.
This property will suit an established farmer or investor seeking an immediately productive dairy unit with modern infrastructure and renewable energy income potential. Buyers should note this is a working farm: purchasers must pay agreed ingoing valuations for crops, feed, fuel and stores, and there are operational hazards around yard and livestock. The site’s size and working nature mean active management and machinery are required to realise full value.
Practical considerations: the farm lies in a relatively remote, very deprived rural area which can affect local labour and services. The land classification is mainly classes 3 and 4, suitable for grass-based systems but not prime arable. Viewings are by appointment and require care due to active farm operations.
