Borgue House

LOT 1: BORGUE HOUSE
Borgue House is situated on the periphery of the pretty coastal village of Borgue within Southwest Scotland.

Borgue House is an exceptional stockrearing and feeding farm (former dairy farm), benefitting from an extremely well-presented traditional farmhouse, two farm cottages, mainly modern farm buildings, and about 537.64 acres of agricultural landand amenity woodland. The agricultural land is down to grass for grazing and conservation (silage or hay); however, the land is capable of growing a range of cereal and other forage crops. For the avoidance of doubt, Borgue House is farmed in conjunction with Blackcraig Farm (Lot 2) contained within these sales particulars.

The Farm has been in the same family ownership since 1946 with the farmhouse being a wonderful family home throughout. The farmhouse is of traditional construction and offers spacious, well-presented accommodation over two floors. The property is set away from the working farm and benefits from extensive, mature garden grounds with the original 17th century Borgue House, now ruinous, set within the grounds. The farm further benefits from two detached farm cottages set within the steading.

BASIC PAYMENT ENTITLEMENTS - IACS / SAF
The whole of the agricultural land has been allocated payment region 1 with exception of some 1.47 hectares of region 2 land.
