An extensive block of accessible farm land in west Fife

Description

The land at Hill of Beath offers a unique opportunity to purchase about 374 acres of land in western Fife. This sheltered landscape comprises fertile and productive grass leys and hill ground which is ideal for summer grazing. The majority of the land is south facing and many of the lower fields have yielded productive crops of silage and on occasion has grown cereals.

The land lies at 110m above sea level close to the southern boundary before rising to 240m above sea level at the brow of Hill of Beath. To the north the land drops away to 150m above sea level. The land is categorised as predominantly class 3.2 with areas of 5.1, 5.3 and 6.2 by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research. From the top of Hill of Beath there are exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, across the Firth of Forth and beyond to Edinburgh and the Pentland Hills.

Interspersed throughout the land there are number of woodland strips and shelter belts which provide amenity and shelter for livestock and wildlife. There is a central, shared, track that gives access to a number of the fields and there is a useful internal track which leads to the northern part of the land holding.

Building
Lying close to the access track there is a useful farm building which was constructed in 2020. The shed is of steel portal frame construction with concrete panel and timber space boarding walls, fibre cement roof and a hardcore floor. On the gable ends there are concrete pads which provide storage space. Surrounding the shed there is a useful yard.
