SITUATION

Aberdeen lies 45 miles to the north and the city of Dundee just 27 miles to the southwest. Montrose provides a range of daily amenities including shops, supermarkets, local retailers.
Angus is renowned for its productive and fertile lands capable of producing high yields of an extensive range of crops and the area is well suited to both arable cropping and livestock units. The local area is well served by a wide variety of agricultural contactors, merchants and suppliers which can provide additional farming resources if required, including grain drying, storage and haulage facilities just 1.4 miles to the north of the land. The livestock market at Thainstone, Aberdeen, about 50 miles north, has regular sales.
DESCRIPTION
Mountboy extends to 652.71 acres (264.15 hectares) or thereby of predominately Grade 3.1 arable land, according to the James Hutton Institute. The land is currently farmed over 9 enclosures and benefits from excellent access offered via a combination of public roads and private tracks. With exception to the land to the north, which is woodland and scrubland, the land has been utilised for a mixture of potato, vegetable, and cereal production. The James Hutton Institute’s soil maps show that the agricultural land at Mountboy consists of a combination of Gley and freely drained Podzol soils. This northern land may offer some woodland planting potential or other biodiversity projects. On the west boundary of Field 4 there is a potential development opportunity in the form of a dilapidated farm stead, subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained and a new access track being formed.
An irrigation dam is available on the southern boundary of Field 6, any relevant water abstraction licenses in place will be transferred to the successful purchaser.
