Extensive upland farm land with tree‑planting potential and ecological designations..
Approximately 385.28 hectares (952.05 acres) of upland grazing and pasture
Dinley Lot 3 offers an extensive upland stock-rearing opportunity of approximately 385.28 hectares (952.05 acres) with direct public road access and a mix of good pasture, rough grazing and areas of peat. The holding sits between Newcastleton and Hawick in the Scottish Borders, with wide rural views and potential for carbon sequestration or large-scale tree planting, subject to necessary consents.
This lot is aimed at farmers, land investors and conservation purchasers seeking scale and biodiversity value. The land already has a range of traditional and modern agricultural improvements across the wider estate and is registered with SGRPID (basic payment entitlements excluded from the sale but available by separate negotiation). There are existing designations (SSSI and SPA) over parts of the holding that contribute ecological value but will affect permitted activities.
Buyers should note important commercial and practical constraints: sporting rights are owned by a third party, the property is subject to overage provisions for tree planting and renewables, and the 2025 basic payment is retained by the seller. Services include mains electricity and natural water; foul drainage is to a private system (septic tank not formally tested and may not meet current General Binding Rules). Broadband is very slow and there is no mobile signal in places; the location is remote and local services are limited.
Offered in lots or as part of the wider Dinley estate, Lot 3 is being sold at offers over £925,000 by private treaty/auction timetable. This is a strategic purchase for those wanting large-scale grazing, environmental land-use change (carbon/tree planting), or long-term investment in upland agricultural holdings, but it requires informed planning around statutory designations, overage and existing rights.
