A substantial, versatile farm in southwest Scotland, offered as a whole with about 92.10 hectares (227.58 acres) of pasture, native woodlands, a half‑acre pond and established native plantation. The core comprises a traditionally constructed three‑bedroom stone house refurbished between 2014–2017 with modern finishes, underfloor heating and strong countryside views, plus a detached two‑bed bothy with workshop. The land supports wildlife, rough shooting and low‑input grazing and includes several ancient croft sites and areas of conservation interest.
The property presents clear development and income potential: traditional stone farm buildings at Blackpark provide cattle and sheep handling facilities and could be restored or converted to ancillary residential or artisan uses subject to planning consents. A derelict cottage and steading at Backmoor offer further scope for redevelopment but will require substantial repair and formal approvals. The holding has been managed with minimal chemical inputs, benefits from multiple woodland areas including Meadowpark Plantation, and includes all standing and fallen timber in the sale.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Services include mains water and electricity, septic tank drainage and oil central heating; there are no Basic Payment Entitlements included despite BPS registration, and the farm holds LFASS status. The location is remote — nearest small services at Port William (about 5 miles) and Newton Stewart (about 13 miles) — and purchasers should note public access rights, servitudes for neighbouring access, and the potential costs and timescales involved in converting traditional buildings. Overall, this is a rare, large-scale rural holding suited to buyers seeking a working farm, woodland amenity, or redevelopment for holiday/letting or small‑scale diversification.
