Set on about 73.4 acres, Lochhill is a fully equipped equestrian centre combining a traditional stone farmhouse with holiday cottages, a chalet and extensive outbuildings. The site includes a full-size outdoor ménage, indoor arena and thirty stables of varying sizes (including foaling boxes), making it ready for livery, tuition or event use without major new build work.
The farmhouse is a traditional three/four bedroom stone property presented in stylish decorative order; four converted cottages (barn conversion) and a detached chalet broaden income potential. The estate has been run commercially for over 20 years offering lessons, show jumping, trekking and livery, and sits about 2 miles from the A75 for reasonably direct access to main routes.
Opportunities include continued equestrian use, small-scale agriculture or returning to a self-sufficient lifestyle. Broadband is reported fast, and the layout lends itself to a mix of owner-occupation plus holiday-let or livery income; a prior planning application for additional holiday conversions has lapsed but indicates scope for further holiday accommodation subject to reapplication.
Important practical points: there is only one bathroom recorded in the main house, and the site is large and will require ongoing maintenance and management costs. The wider area is remote and classed as very deprived, with average mobile signal; potential buyers should factor in rural service levels and running costs for an enterprise of this scale.
