Land at Balgowan Farm is a substantial, productive arable holding on the Rhins of Galloway peninsula. Extending to approximately 63.72 hectares (157.46 acres), the holding is predominantly Grade 3(1) and 3(2) land with free-draining soils and a record of generous yields — suited to arable cropping, silage, and mixed farming. Field sizes are large and gently undulating, with coastal-facing parcels and good road access from the A716 and local tracks.
The property includes rough grazing and woodland pockets, useful for environmental schemes or biodiversity enhancement, and former pheasant pen areas that reflect its estate origins. A mast site sits in a separate southern parcel on a commercial lease until 2028, providing short-term rental income but with associated tenancy/lease implications. Boundaries are a mix of post & wire, post & rylock fencing and dry stone dykes; the land ranges from about 3m to 37m above sea level.
Practical matters to note: the sale is by closing date (4 July 2025, 12 noon) and the land is offered only as a whole. Tenure details are not provided in the summary and should be confirmed; council tax and some statutory details are unknown. The area has excellent mobile coverage but very slow broadband, and the surrounding community is described as remote and ageing — factors relevant to labour, diversification and residential development potential.
This holding will suit commercial farmers, investors seeking productive Scottish arable land, or those planning diversification into environmental schemes or low-impact coastal enterprises. The productive grades and large enclosures are real assets; purchasers should budget for routine boundary and field maintenance and verify tenancy/lease arrangements (mast) and statutory entitlements before offer.
