Extensive 19.5-acre smallholding with steading and renovation-ready farmhouse near Dumfries.
19.50 acres of productive pasture, mainly Grade 3(2)
Greenmerse Smallholding is a large rural holding about 5 miles from New Abbey and 5.5 miles from Dumfries, extending to approximately 19.50 acres. The site combines a traditional two-storey farmhouse (three bedrooms) with a substantial, diverse steading of modern portal-frame sheds, lambing and loose housing, and traditional barns — offering immediate utility for livestock or storage.
The farmhouse has been vacant for around ten years and requires extensive renovation throughout; it presents strong redevelopment potential for a family home but will need full refurbishment and statutory checks. One traditional barn has a partially collapsed roof and several buildings use fibre cement sheeting, so budget for repairs, re-roofing or re-cladding is prudent.
Practical strengths include direct road and internal field access, enclosed productive fields (mainly Grade 3(2)), fast broadband and no identified flood risk. The steading is already adapted to a sheep enterprise and could easily be repurposed for cattle, equestrian use, diversification projects or continued farming. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning department regarding any change of use or redevelopment.
This holding suits buyers seeking a working smallholding or a rural development project: farming families, equestrian enthusiasts, or investors targeting conversion or diversified income streams. Note the tenure is unspecified and the surrounding area records higher deprivation indices, which may affect grant or funding opportunities.
