Strategic rural block with woodland potential near Bowden.
Productive Grade 3.2 grazing land, approx. 12.16 acres
Lot 2 at Bowden is a productive 12.16-acre block of Grade 3.2 grazing ground with well-fenced enclosures and water troughs, suited to livestock or mixed farming. The parcel sits close to Bowden and within easy reach of the A7/A68 and Tweedbank station, offering practical rural accessibility to Melrose and Edinburgh.
The site has clear environmental upside: woodland creation potential (subject to planting consents) and eligibility to participate in Natural Capital/environmental schemes. It lies in attractive Borders countryside and is registered for IACS, making it operationally ready for an agricultural occupier.
Important transactional and planning considerations are disclosed: the sale will include a 30% clawback on any future uplift in value if non-agricultural planning permission is granted (applies for 30 years), and the land lies within a National Scenic Area and a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone — both factors likely to restrict development. The land is let on a seasonal basis until November 2025 and the seller will retain 2025 BPS payments unless otherwise agreed.
This lot will suit a working farmer, environmental investor, or buyer seeking long-term strategic landholding near the village. Those targeting development should note the significant planning constraints, the clawback obligation, and the need to secure all relevant consents before assuming alternative use.
