This exceptional 532.95 ha (1,316.95 acres) parcel at West Glensherraig offers rare-scale hill ground on the outskirts of Brodick, Isle of Arran. Predominantly Class 4.2 agricultural land slopes north to south and has a history of sheep and cattle grazing. The holding includes sporting rights and panoramic coastal views; public access is already encouraged across much of the estate.
The land contains significant peat deposits and areas of natural rewilding—heather, shrubland and seedling trees—making it valuable for habitat stewardship and peatland restoration work already underway (not commercial; yields unassessed). The site lies within an area of scientific interest and Less Favoured Area (LFA) designation, which will influence management and grant eligibility.
Practical considerations: a small corrugated-metal bothy (sleeps two) sits on the parcel. Several overhead cables and water routes cross Field 4; there are sections of deep peat and impeded drainage on flatter ground. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average; tenure is unknown. Offers are invited over £1,200,000.
This holding will suit buyers seeking large-scale grazing, conservation and sporting opportunity, or those planning habitat restoration and long-term estate management. It is not a turn-key commercial farm: yields, drainage improvement needs and restoration potential should be independently assessed before offer.
