A rare opportunity to buy about 5.5 acres of agricultural grass-land with 2 buildings, situated in the beautiful Ettrick Valley.

Surrounded by traditional stone dykes/walls, the grass land is divided into 3 fields (0.82ha, 0.8ha, 0.68ha). The higher ground offers amazing panoramic views of Ettrick Valley, a 16th century peel tower & even the Eildon Hills, 13miles away!

Over the years the land has been grazed by sheep, cattle, horses, geese & hens. The stone dykes offer great shelter from the elements, helping livestock stay out all year round. Honey bees have also done well here. Heather on neighbouring hills provides the bees with valuable over-wintering food.

Recent work has focussed on establishing pockets of fruit trees & shelter belts. Allowing wildflower meadows to bloom for the benefit of the bees & wildlife. The land has been managed organically. The land and trees are not presently tied to any funding schemes.

Just a stones throw from Ettrick Water (SSSI) & Jean's Burn, incredible flora & fauna can be seen on the land: primroses, owls & woodpeckers to name a few.

This peaceful spot also includes 2 valuable buildings: a small useful barn and a concrete water tank. The barn has a concrete floor & a corrugated metal roof. It has had many uses including sheltering horses, lambs, wood, hay & bees! The barn roof & guttering harvest rainwater for cleaning & watering livestock.

The concrete water tank is partially hidden within the hill side. It previously supplied Ettrickbridge with drinking water but is now empty. It consists of 5 chambers/rooms which are accessed by secure doors. The secure, pest-proof design has proved useful for storing equipment & fruit. The tank benefits from a mains water connection point, a waste-water drain & a landline connection point.

A Scottish Water fresh water mains distribution pipe crosses under the land, travelling from Ettrickbridge to the water tank. Offering a connection point for a good supply of high quality drinking water.

A connection to the SPEN electricity grid maybe possible via the local electricity infrastructure.

There is no 'development clawback clause' in this sale. The land is presently located outside the Development Boundary of Ettrickbridge.

No VAT is to be added to the sale price.

Located on the outskirts of Ettrickbridge, with direct access to the B709 (B7009). Ettrickbridge has a socially active & friendly community. The village benefits from an award winning pub, community hall & a sports field with tennis courts. Selkirk has a range of shops & services & is just 7 miles away. The Scotrail train to Edinburgh is available at Galashiels, just 14 miles away.
