This is a productive 25.3-acre block of Grade 3.2 grazing ground immediately south of Bowden, within easy reach of Newtown St Boswells and Melrose. The parcel is fenced, supplied with water troughs and registered for IACS, making it ready for continued agricultural use. Its elevated, open position offers the kind of pastoral landscape valued for livestock and mixed farming.
The land carries environmental and strategic positives: it sits within a National Scenic Area, Lot 2 is in a Conservation Area, and there is clear potential for woodland creation and participation in Natural Capital schemes, subject to planting consents. Access is direct from public roads via field gates; mobile signal is excellent and Tweedbank station (links to Edinburgh) is about 4.5 miles away.
Buyers should note several material constraints. The subjects lie inside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and any 2025 Basic Payment Scheme payments will be retained by the seller. The sale is subject to a 30-year clawback on uplift (30% of any non-agricultural planning value) secured by Standard Security. Lot 1 is subject to an incoming servitude for a new water pipe; prescriptive access rights cross between the lots. The land is let on a seasonal basis until November 2025, and purchasers must take on ingoing valuations for crops and inputs.
This offering suits an agricultural purchaser or investor seeking scale and flexibility: immediate productive use with clear environmental scheme potential, and longer-term planning upside if willing to manage the planning risks and clawback obligations.
