Stirlingshire farm up for sale with £1.75m price tag
Overton Farm near Denny is an 'unusual opportunity' and could be sold as a whole or in up to three lots.
A farm near Denny which has been worked by generations of the same family has been put up for sale with a price tag of over £1.75million.
Overton Farm is being brought to market by the rural services division of DM Hall Chartered Surveyors.
The agents say the farm is an 'unusual opportunity' and could be sold as a whole or in up to three lots.
DM Hall spokesperson Jennifer Campbell said: 'The sense of timelessness is reinforced by the Faughlin Burn bridge, a slender, B-listed stone arch which supported drovers' cattle for hundreds of years.
'There is also a monument to an Iron Age fort near Myot Hill overlooking the farms eastern peripheries.
'But, while history has washed over the rolling fields, the property remains today a substantial and viable working livestock enterprise with a five-bedroom farmhouse and a wide range of traditional outbuilding which almost have the scale of a small hamlet.
'Overton represents an unusual opportunity for land-hungry buyers to acquire 436 acres (176.31 Ha) in a strategic location with significant and productive areas of grazing and excellent potential for diversification into afforestation and potential bio-diversity net gain schemes.
'Just nine miles from Stirling and equidistant from Glasgow and Edinburgh, the farm is available in three lots, or as a whole.'
Lot 1, of 16.95 acres, is close to the old and winding Takmadoon Road with a fishing reservoir nearby. It is inviting offers over £50,000.
Lot 2, of nearly 56 acres, are four fields offering good grazing and further opportunities. The northern boundary is within the Carron Valley, which is a site of special scientific interest. It invites offers over £225,000.
Lot 3, of nearly 363 acres, is the remaining land, the 2489 sq ft farmhouse and multiple farm buildings, with offers over £1,475,000.
The farm is available as a whole at offers over £1,750,000.
'The surrounding countryside of the Carron Valley is alive with wildlife and history, with standing stones and old drove roads – a place where enthusiasts can spot red squirrels and crossbills and watch for ospreys.
'The farm market in Scotland remains buoyant and competitive, and interest in Overton Farm is expected to be intense. Viewing is strictly by appointment and offer should be made to Jennifer Campbell at DM Hall.'
