Fintloch is situated in a stunning rural location nestled within the Galloway hills close to the pretty village of New Galloway, occupying an elevated site with far reaching views over the Galloway Hills and surrounding countryside. The property has been unoccupied for some time and does require full refurbishment, however, presents a superb blank canvas to create a wonderful family home along with a variety of opportunities to develop smallscale agricultural, equestrian or any other tourist-based enterprise in a rural yet accessible area of Dumfries & Galloway.
The traditional courtyard steading to the rear could well have residential development potential given that the conversion of traditional farm buildings to residential dwellings (change of use), is consistent with the Dumfries & Galloway Council’s present structure and local plans. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries in this respect. The views from the steading framed by the current openings are absolutely stunning!
