Summary - Lot 1 Land at Black Mount, By Howgate, Midlothian, EH26 EH26 8QQ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large accessible agricultural holding with woodland and habitat potential near Edinburgh.
Approximately 223.61 ha (552.55 acres) of contiguous arable and grazing land
Lot 1 at Black Mount is a substantial, well‑located agricultural holding of about 223.61 ha (552.55 acres) offering a mix of arable, silage and grazing ground with pockets of broadleaved and conifer woodland. The land sits close to Howgate and about 7.5 miles from the Edinburgh City Bypass, giving practical road and rail links for commercial farming, timber management and recreational uses. Productive enclosures are machine‑friendly and most grazing fields have natural water supplies.
The holding includes designated peatland and areas classified across Grades 3, 4 and 5, suitable for a range of arable and livestock enterprises or for woodland and habitat creation subject to consents. There are active forestry obligations: approx. 8.44 ha have been clear‑felled in 2025 with replanting and re‑stocking obligations and some areas are covered by a Woodland Improvement Grant. All felled timber has been retained by the seller; remaining standing timber is included so far as owned by the seller.
Practical considerations: there are no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements with the sale and the land lies within a Less‑Favoured Area. Portions of the holding are sold subject to an existing grazing and cropping licence (fields noted) expiring 31 May 2026. Purchasers will also take on incoming valuations for crops, stores and inputs. The title includes mineral and sporting rights where owned, and the sale is subject to existing servitudes and water‑drawing rights for neighbouring properties.
This lot will suit a commercial farmer, investor or landowner seeking a large, contiguous unit with good road access, habitat and woodland potential, and scope for environmental and natural capital projects. It also offers sporting and recreational opportunities. Prospective buyers should factor in replanting obligations, peatland management requirements and the absence of BPS entitlements when assessing long‑term income and capital plans.
