<p><b>A HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE FORMER DAIRY FARM SITUATED ON A STUNNING ELEVATED SITE WITH FAR REACHING VIEWS ACROSS LUCE BAY & THE SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE </b></p><p>Alton Farm is situated near the village of Drummore in the Wigtownshire area of Dumfries & Galloway. Formerly a dairy farm, it lies within a region noted for its mild climate and long grass-growing seasons. This has contributed to the Rhins Peninsula being recognised as one of the most productive farming regions in Southwest Scotland. </p><p>The farm benefits from a beautifully presented traditional farmhouse which within the current ownership has benefited from partial re-roofing, installation of air source heat pump, including a new boiler and radiators, and the property has been rewired. In addition, planning has been approved for a fabulous new extension to the south elevation to accommodate a bedroom, ensuite on the first floor and bathroom and utility room on the ground floor. The other alterations proposed include converting the existing attached store to the host dwelling into a large kitchen/living area with patio doors providing stunning sea views. Details of this planning can be found on Dumfries and Galloway Councils planning portal, using the ref’: 24/2113/FUL. </p><p>To compliment the farm, a new agricultural building has just been erected measuring 73m long x 21m wide. This building has been utilised for loose housing of cattle with no cubicles, etc. fitted, therefore, this building could lend itself to many different purposes. There are a further range of modern farm buildings one of which houses a newly installed milking parlour. For the avoidance of doubt, should the milking parlour not be required by the successful purchaser, it will be removed prior to completion of the sale. </p><p>In addition, there is an charming stone-built cottage and approximately 140 acres of productive agricultural land. The land is currently down to grass for grazing and conservation (silage) but is capable of supporting a wide range of cereal and other forage crops.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
