The enduring appeal of owning land speaks to something deep inside most people, but the allure of a place of your own in one of the most softly beautiful parts of the kingdom holds a particular piquancy.
Add the attraction of a modern house – in pristine, move-in condition – with views over rolling countryside, and that sums up the property, which is being brought to market by DM Hall, one of the UK’s leading firms of independent Chartered Surveyors.
The smallholding in question is Upper Lynemore Farm, just four miles south of the friendly town of Keith, in the Isla valley and on the Speyside Malt Whisky Trail in the historic county of Banffshire.
The farm boasts twenty-five and three-quarter acres, or 10.42 ha, which at present is given over mostly to livestock grazing – a landscape of well-tended fields, hardy trees and distant panoramas of rounded hills.
Upper Lynemore is likely to experience a surge in interest as a result of a number of factors including, as the Scottish Land Commission’s (SLC’s) 2024 Rural Land Market Insights Report notes, increased demand for small holdings from lifestyle buyers.
The land at Lynemore is arable, though mostly set to grazing, and mixed farming units have attracted new found interest, according to the SLC, due to their blend of food production and nature restoration potential, which may prove beneficial when considering the new agricultural support scheme.
In Case You Missed it:
The outbuildings at the farm are of mixed repair and provide useful shelter and storage. There is a large hardstanding area located adjacent to the steading which is used for the storage of bales. Mains electricity and private water are connected to some, but not all, of the buildings.
Offers over £520,000 are invited. Viewing, which will be accompanied, is by appointment only.
