Arran farm property is a rare opportunity with buildings in excellent condition which can satisfy the holiday-let market

It is not often that a property which could fulfil the dreams of so many different people becomes available, especially on a stunning Scottish island to which visitors flock for its unrivalled beauty and dramatic vistas.

That is the countryside gem which is being brought to market by the rural services division of DM Hall Chartered Surveyors in a spectacular position on the outskirts of Brodick on the attractive and perennially popular Isle of Arran.

Burnbank and West Glensherraig is a rare offering, and is only on offer because the family who have grazed animals and exercised stewardship of the rolling hills and glens for generations are now retiring from the farming profession.

This creates a unique opportunity for the well-kept farm properties to be split up and absorbed into the extremely active holiday-let market. Some 400,000 people come off the ferry to visit the island each year, swelling the local population 100-fold.

It could equally well remain as a viable agricultural enterprise, a classic working farm with additional significant income from a portfolio of established long-term and short-term let properties.

Jennifer Campbell, of DM Hall, who is leading the marketing initiative along with local agents Waterman’s, said: “This is a truly dreamy location – calm, peaceful and delightfully rural, but just five minutes’ drive from the bustling Brodick Ferry Terminal.

“Everything about it is special. There are two farms, wonderful grazing land, plenty of room for forestry, subject to permissions, and seven established properties in absolutely excellent condition. The price for the whole is particularly attractive.

“There is a reason people are queuing up to find property on Arran. It is a wonderful place to live, work or start a business and Burnbank and West Glensherraig provide the opportunity to realise a myriad of opportunities.”

The property is being offered in three lots or as a whole:

Lot 1 is Burnbank, a high amenity property comprising of good grazing land in a scenic and tranquil position with a principal residence, presented in immaculate order, two two-bedroom holiday let cottages, a one-bedroom house, kennels, shed and garden ground, in all approximately 6.79 Ha (16.78 acres). Offers over £825,000.

Lot 2 is West Glensherraig Farm, comprising a four-bedroom farmhouse, a two-bedroom cottage, sheds, steading and land extending in all to approximately 64 Ha (158 acres). Offers over £750,000.

Lot 3 is land to the south of the B880, the country road known as the String, which bisects the island. It is approximately 532.95 Ha (1316.95 acres) and houses a bothy. Offers over £1,200,000.

As a whole, offers over £2,775,000 are invited.

The farm market in Scotland is still active and land is still very much in demand, and interest in Burnbank and West Glensherraig is expected to be intense. Viewing is strictly by appointment and offers should be made to Jennifer Campbell at DM Hall in good time.
