Land for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Land extending to 93.85 acres (37.98 Ha) or thereby
- Excellent internal access via well maintained farm tracks
- Highly accessible location
Auchenstarry Farm is a productive livestock unit extending to approximately 189.59 acres (76.73 hectares) or thereby with a traditional farmhouse and accompanying steading. The farm benefits from excellent access both directly off the minor public road and via a network of well-maintained farm tracks. The steading at Auchenstarry comprises a large, modern, agricultural shed, and former mining row, which is utilised for general storage, which could offer a worthwhile development opportunity subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained.
METHOD OF SALE
Auchenstarry Farm is offered for sale as a whole or in 3 lots.
Lot 1 Auchenstarry Farmhouse, Steading and 19.42 acres (7.86 Ha) or thereby
Lot 2 Land extending to 84.24 acres (34.09 Ha) or thereby
Lot 3 Woodland extending to 79.37 acres (32.12 Ha) or thereby.
THE LAND
The land at Auchenstarry is classed by the James Hutton Institute as being Grade 4.1 agricultural land suggesting it can support some cereal or forage cropping but is best suited to grass leys.
The majority of the land at Auchenstarry is planted with woodland; the James Hutton Institute classifies the remaining farmland to the southeast of the farmhouse and steading as being Grade 2 planting land suggesting the land is very suitable for tree planting. The land to the north of the Forth Canal has been planted in mixed species broadleaved tree planting. We understand this was carried out via a forestry grant scheme contract which was implemented in 2009. Please note this contract has since expired so there are no further management payments available.
The land is divided into 21 enclosures with the land occupying the eastern aspect of Barhill. The land descends from 125 metre above sea level at the property’s eastern boundary down to approximately 50 metres at the farmhouse. The land north of the Forth Canal is comparably flatter sitting at 45 metres above sea level. The land benefited from a network of internal access tracks providing access throughout. Within Lot 1 there is an additional site for development at Langside, subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained. Langside is the site of a former farmhouse and steading nestled in some pretty broadleaved woodland.
ENVIRONMENTAL STIPULATIONS
Lot 3 lies just to the south of the Dumbreck Marsh Local Nature Reserve.
There are several core paths on the property including a section of the John Muir Way which follows the central access track leading towards Bar Hill.
CLAWBACK
Auchenstarry Farm shall be sold subject to a 25 year clawback provision in favour of the seller should planning permission be granted for the development on any part.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 18, 2024
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 18, 2024
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
