No’ 2 Balcarry Holdings is set on an elevated site in an idyllic rural setting with spectacular views across Luce Bay and the surrounding countryside.

No’ 2 Balcarry Holdings has been in the same family ownership for many years and at one time was farmed as a larger holding. The property now offers a spacious four-bedroom farmhouse, large detached garage, range of farm buildings (some with development potential) and about 60 acres of agricultural land. No’ 2 Balcarry Holdings will appeal to a variety of buyers, offering huge potential for smallscale agricultural, equestrian or tourism purposes.

THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS
The buildings are a mixture of traditional and more modern structures. The more modern buildings are utilised mainly for storage and livestock housing however, could be used for a variety of uses, or indeed adapted for equestrian or such like. The traditional farm buildings could have some development potential for change of use, however, any interested party wishing to pursue this would need to make their own enquiries with the regional council’s planning department.

THE LAND
No’ 2 Balcarry Holdings extends in total to about 60.49 acres (24.48 Ha), including the areas occupied by the farmhouse, steading, yards, access roads, etc. The holding features 9 specific field enclosures, which are currently all down to grass for grazing and conservation (silage). The land is classified as predominantly yield class 4 of the Macaulay Institute for Soil Research (Land Capability Study), as produced by the James Hutton Institute. The land lies within a ring fence and is served by a field track which gives good access to the field enclosures. The land is gently undulating and the majority is fit for mowing. The farm, at one time, was utilised as a dairy farm and was self-sufficient in home-grown fodder.

BASIC PAYMENT ENTITLEMENTS
The whole of the agricultural land has been allocated payment region 1. We are advised that the vendors are active farmers (as currently defined under EU Regulation 1307/2013 and the Scottish Statutory Instrument 2014/58). We are further informed that the sellers completed an IACS/SAF submission 2023 (a copy of which can be made available for inspection from the sole selling agents during normal office hours).

No’ 2 Balcary Holdings benefits from 22.27 units of region 1 entitlements with an illustrative unit values of €165.63 (Euros). The property also benefits from the standard Greening rates and where applicable LFASS. The sellers will use their best endeavours to complete the necessary documentation to transfer all established Basic Payment Entitlements.

For the avoidance of doubt any such payments already applied for prior to the completion date, will be retained by the sellers, i.e. the 2023 Basic Payment and 2023 greening payment and LFASS.
