35.65 Ha (88.09 Ac) contained in one block, seven field parcels
Lot 2 at West Blackbyre comprises 35.65 Ha (88.09 Ac) of versatile farmland offered as a single block. The holding is predominantly Grade 4 grassland, with areas of Grade 5, currently down to grass and used for sheep grazing and fodder production. The ground is suitable for silage, grazing and mixed livestock enterprises; there is a glen along the Craufurdland Water and gentle elevation from 168m to 202m.
The sale is freehold and the land is registered for IACS. It is outside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and lies within a Less-Favoured Area designation. Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, road access to the M77 for Glasgow commuters, and proximity to local services in Galston and Kilmarnock.
Buyers should note material sale conditions: any 2025 BPS payments will be retained by the seller; the purchaser must comply with GAEC/Cross Compliance for the remainder of the scheme year. Ingoing valuation obligations apply for crops, feed, fertilisers and consumables. The area is described as very deprived, and the land grades (predominantly Grade 4/5) mean lower cropping potential compared with higher-grade arable land.
This lot suits farmers seeking a compact grazing and forage unit, or investors wanting a countryside holding with agricultural support in the region. It offers immediate agricultural use and scope to integrate into existing enterprises, subject to the stated entitlements and valuation obligations on completion.
