Sandilands & Burnhouse Farms is a substantial agricultural estate offered for sale as a whole or in three lots, with a closing date of Wednesday 4 June 2025 at 12 noon. The single-block holding extends to about 163.02 ha (402.81 acres) of predominantly Grade 3.2 arable and permanent grassland, with deep brown soils, established water supplies to fields and a well-developed internal track network. The steading includes a traditional stone Sandilands Farmhouse (solar panels and biomass boiler), a separate stone cottage, Burnhouse Farmhouse, and a broad mix of traditional and modern agricultural buildings including a 1005m3 slurry store and 150-ton grain tower.
This offering suits a working farmer, land investor or agricultural business seeking immediate productive land, infrastructure and BPS entitlements (154.14 units Region 1; 3.74 units Region 2 available). The location is rural yet accessible — a short drive to Lanark and convenient for the M74 — with local services useful to farming businesses (auction mart, veterinary and machinery suppliers).
Buyers should note material conditions: several dwellings and some buildings require internal modernisation and general renovation; parts of the steading and some outbuildings are unmaintained. Mineral rights are excluded from the sale. The land lies within a Less Favoured Area (LFASS), is not in an NVZ and carries no identified flood risk. Sale will proceed by auction; bidders must allow for retained 2024 scheme payments and the transfer of BPS entitlements on completion.
