A PRODUCTIVE STOCK REARING FARM SITUATED ON AN ELEVATED SITE WITHIN THE STEWARTRY AREA OF DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY

Valley View Farm is situated on an elevated site close to the village of Ringford in the Stewartry area of Dumfries & Galloway. Valley View Farm is a productive stock rearing farm, benefitting from a range of farm buildings and about 195.80 acres of agricultural land. The agricultural land is all down to grass for grazing or forage crops, in addition there are areas of amenity woodland and areas occupied by part of both Culcaigrie Loch & Trostrie Loch included in the titles. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no dwellinghouse on this holding.

The steading buildings at Valley View are of modern construction and mainly now utilised for overwintering of cattle or feed and machinery storage. It should be noted there is no electricity supply to the steading, but services are close by. The steading is supplied by mains water.

As mentioned earlier, the steading buildings are of modern construction and comprise of steel portal sheds, some with lean-tos off which are laid out in a hardcore yard. The sheds are designed to house either beef cattle or dairy young stock, have feed barriers and concrete floors. For the avoidance of doubt there is no electricity laid into the steading and the temporary supply will be disconnected prior to completion. It is noted that power is located adjacent to the steading and purchasers should make their own enquiries as to connection charges, etc. The steading benefits from both private and public water supply.

Valley View Farm extends in total to about 195.08 acres to include the areas occupied by the steading, yards, access roads, woodland, lochs, etc. The holding features 21 specific good sized field enclosures, which are currently all down to grass for grazing and conservation (silage). The land is classified as predominantly yield class 4 of the Macaulay Institute for Soil Research (Land Capability Study), as produced by the James Hutton Institute. The farm is within an LFASS area and benefits from the relevant support. The farm is self-sufficient in-home grown forage and capable of any type of livestock production. Included in the title are two areas of loch solum and the ownership extends to the centre of both Culcaigrie and Trostrie Lochs.
