Muirhead Farm is situated on an elevated site close to the village of Twyholm in the Stewartry area of Dumfries & Galloway. Muirhead Farm is a productive stock rearing farm, benefitting from a range of modern farm buildings, a farmhouse (requires a degree of modernisation) and about 145 acres of agricultural land.

The agricultural land is all down to grass for grazing or mowing, in addition there is a small area of amenity woodland. The farmhouse benefits from three-bedroom accommodation and at this time would benefit from a degree of maintenance and modernisation. The house is situated on an elevated site and benefits from open views across the surrounding countryside.

Muirhead Farm benefits from both modern and traditional farm buildings. The modern buildings are of steel portal construction with fibre cement roofs, feed barriers with some locking yokes. The main sheds also benefit from automatic scrapers and cubicle beds. There is a slurry lagoon at end of the sheds which we are informed is adequate for the current farming practices. The traditional buildings are in a dilapidated condition but given they are of the vernacular type, there may be some development potential. Located adjacent to the road is a steel shipping container which houses the ancillaries for the wind turbine.

Located in field 7 adjacent to a hardcore track is a CF20Kw wind turbine. The turbine has a 20m mast with a 12.8m rotor diameter. The wind turbine is on a contract with Scottish Power and generates a useful secondary income, the annual payment averages out at about £20,000, which is paid quarterly. The turbine was erected in 2012 and has a 25-year lifespan from that date. The sellers will provide all the relevant information in this regard. We are further informed that the transformer is of the split current type, which may facilitate the erection of a second turbine, subject to the usual permissions.

Muirhead Farm extends in total to about 148.80 acres to include the areas occupied by the farmhouse, steading, yards, access roads, woodland, etc.

The holding features 16 specific good sized 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 farm is within an LFASS area and benefits from the relevant support.
