Balnab is a productive former dairy farm, benefitting from a traditional farmhouse, along with modern and traditional farm steading incorporating a milking parlour, dairy and full range of young stock and cubicle sheds. The property benefits from a biomass boiler on a feed in tariff and a unique level of diversification with a glamping site, two shepherds’ huts, a three-bedroom holiday cottage and direct produce retailing. The farm has been in the same family ownership since 1929.

 

The land is in a ring fence with about 99 acres of agricultural land. The agricultural land is down to grass or forage crops for grazing and conservation (silage or hay), with the land also being capable of growing a wide range of cereal and other forage crops.

At present the farm is still in milk production however for the avoidance of doubt any potential buyers who would wish to continue to produce milk should make their own enquires as to the availability of a milk contract as the milk on the farm is utilised for the calf rearing element of the business.

Whithorn, only a short drive from Balnab, is a friendly rural community offering a range of local services including a primary school, pharmacy, post office and shops. Whithorn is best known for its historical significance, being closely associated with St Ninian, Scotland’s first saint.

The town centre itself is steeped in history, still retaining its medieval street layout with a wide market square and long garden plots. Whithorn is also proud to be a recognised UNESCO Biosphere Community, a status that reflects its commitment to sustainability, heritage, and local culture.
