Farm for sale
Property description & features
- Productive and accessible farm set in the heart of Aberdeenshire
- Spacious traditional farmhouse
- Mixture of farm buildings
- Five derelict cottages with development potential
Location & Situation
Located in the County of Aberdeenshire, just 11.1 miles to the South of Huntly and just shy of 18 miles west of ever growing town of Inverurie. Tullochley Farm enjoys a rural yet accessible setting in the heart of Aberdeenshire, an area well known for its fertile land and productive mixed farms. The area is well provided by agricultural suppliers and livestock marts at Huntly and the Thainstone Centre in Inverurie, home of ANM Group and the agri-hub for the North East of Scotland.
The farm is within easy reach of a wide range of services and amenities with the market town of Huntly (11.1 miles) to the north providing shops, two supermarkets, healthcare and secondary education at The Gordon Schools. Alford to the south (9.1 miles) also provides shopping facilities, a modern Community Campus with swimming pool, and an 18 hole golf course. There is a railway station at both Huntly and Insch with regular services to the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. The nearest village is Clatt, around 1 mile north, where there is a primary school, play park and village hall.
There are a wealth of recreational and leisure opportunities to be found nearby and in wider Aberdeenshire including hillwalking, fishing, skiing at The Lecht, the Nordic Ski and Outdoor Centre in Huntly, golf courses, water sports, Insch Airfield, coastal trails, Cairngorms National Park and the Castle and Whisky trails. Situated a short drive away is The National Trust owned Leith Hall Garden & Estate with picturesque walks and walled garden.
Aberdeen is some 34 miles distant and provides retail, leisure and recreational facilities in the acknowledged Oil (and transitioning to Energy) Capital of Europe. Aberdeen International Airport is located just north of the city and is also the location of P & J Live, the largest event complex in the North of Scotland. The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route has greatly improved access and travelling time throughout the area and beyond, making travel to Dundee or Edinburgh very achievable.
Land
The farm extends to 165.95 acres which includes 60.74 acres of arable/grass leys, 103.06 acres of pasture, and 2.15 acres of rough ground.
The soils comprise a mixture of mineral alluvial soils, humus-iron podzols, and brown earths, reaching around 330m above sea level at its highest point.
The majority of land is classed as grade 4.1 or land capable of producing a narrow range of crops, primarily grassland with short arable breaks of forage crops and cereal. The land above the farm steadings is classed as grade 4.2 or land capable of producing a narrow range of crops, primarily on grassland with short arable breaks of forage crops.
At present there are over 50 acres of spring barley sown, it is anticipated that this will be harvested by the owner and the crop in stubble for purchasers entry.
Buildings
There are ten agricultural buildings at Tullochleys providing ample accommodation for livestock and storage. The buildings vary in age and condition but can generally be considered in good condition. Poly tunnel pictured may be subject to separate negotiation.
Derelict Buildings
There are four individual derelict buildings at Tullochleys occupying attractive areas that, with the right vision, could potentially be developed into superb off grid homes or holiday let opportunities (subject to planning applications and consent). The properties are located with views across the surrounding landscape and a suitable distance from the main farm steading offering privacy if desired. There are no services connected to the properties at present and it would be up to purchasers to investigate connection.

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
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
