Located in a rural coastal position around three miles from Dalbeattie, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, and around two miles above the coastal village of Kippford, is a diverse farm portfolio extending to some 238ac.
Meikle Richorn Farm and Holiday Cottages offers a “fantastic lifestyle purchase” for the discerning buyer to create a successful diversified farming business, as it goes on sale through Galbraith.
4 lots of potential
Around 172ac of farmland and modern buildings are for sale as one lot. This parcel of land is arranged in a horseshoe following the curvature of the Urr Water.
The area is known for early grass growing and mild winters due to the Gulf Stream and is well suited to stock rearing or fodder production. There are also two excellent modern farm buildings, a cattle shed and a large general purpose shed with workshop and storage area.
In addition to the farmland is a traditional, six-bedroom farmhouse which has served as the family’s centre of operations. The farmhouse was previously subdivided and could be easily split to create an annexe or additional accommodation for a holiday let manager.
Furthermore, the successful holiday let business was created out of 10 cottages converted from the original farm steadings in 2007-2011.
The holiday cottages range from two to five bedrooms and many enjoy far-reaching views of the Urr Estuary. There is an enclosed outdoor area and each property benefits from its own hot tub. A linen store allows for a swift turnover and management of the holiday properties.
Moreover, planning permission was also granted in 2010 for the creation of a sympathetic development of six holiday chalets nestled in the undulating land located at the centre of the farm, adjacent to the farm steading, all positioned to take advantage of the stunning views of the estuary.
