A substantial block of productive arable land on the southern edge of St Andrews, extending to about 87.36 acres (35.35 ha). The majority is Grade 3.1 arable, in good condition, well drained and laid out in field sizes suited to modern cropping and machinery. Two woodland compartments of about 12.03 acres add biodiversity, timber value and screening.
This holding will suit an active farmer seeking additional cropping area, an investor with agricultural income in mind, or a purchaser considering longer-term change of use (any alternative use subject to securing planning consent). Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are available for separate negotiation; there are currently no agri-environment schemes over the land.
Notable constraints are factual and significant: the land lies within the Strathmore and Fife Nitrate Vulnerable Zone; a mains gas pipe runs through the northern part of the property; Scottish Power wayleaves and a small wayleave payment are in place for overhead lines. Offers at existing-use value will include a 33% clawback if residential or commercial planning permission is granted within 30 years.
Practical matters: a closing date has been set (Thursday 31 July 2025 at 12 noon). Purchasers must accept ingoing valuations for crops and inputs, and Basic Payment Scheme rules will apply for any 2025 liabilities retained by the seller. Site access is off a minor public road; broadband and mobile signal are average and tenure details are not specified in the particulars.
