The Acres is situated in a desirable area of rural South Lanarkshire, situated about 3.5 miles to the south east of Strathaven and some 6 miles south east of the settlement of Chapleton.

Local primary and secondary schooling is available in Strathaven, with private schooling at nearby Hamilton College or within Glasgow itself offering a wider range of highly regarded independent private schools. There are a number of golf courses including an 18-hole course at Strathaven Golf Club and the racecourse at Hamilton provides regular fixtures. Agriculturally the surrounding area of South Lanarkshire provides an attractive location with a combination of productive pasture and arable ground with rolling hills in the distance. The farm lies within reaching distance of Craig Wilson Mart and Stirling Mart.
