A rare five‑acre plot within the historic Rowallan Castle Estate, offered freehold and positioned on the edge of a championship golf course. The site includes a derelict stone structure and generous grounds suited to a bespoke detached home, equestrian use or a small development subject to planning. Lapsed consent existed for six homes (East Ayrshire reference 06/0724/FL) and could be re-applied for by a buyer with developer appetite.
The ruined farmhouse and outbuildings present a clear renovation and redevelopment project: stone construction with historic character but currently derelict and unkempt. Significant works will be required to make the buildings habitable or to clear the site for new build — buyers should budget for demolition, structural stabilisation, services connection and full refurbishment where applicable.
Practical considerations: the plot is freehold with no recorded flood risk and excellent mobile signal, but broadband speeds are very slow and the wider area records high deprivation. These factors can affect marketability for some buyers and should be considered when planning future use. Planning will need to be re-secured for any multi‑unit scheme.
This holding will suit an investor/developer comfortable navigating planning, or a purchaser seeking a large private country estate with scope for equestrian facilities and a bespoke main house. Value lies in the size, setting and previously granted consent; cost and time lie in securing permissions and carrying out substantial works.
