LOT 2 The Hollies, Stainrig Mains Farm, Coldstream, Scottish Borders, TD12

The Hollies is offered for sale as a whole or in two separate lots, providing a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented family home alongside superb equestrian facilities and grazing land in the heart of the Berwickshire countryside. While Lot 1 includes the house, garden grounds, and adjoining paddock, Lot 2 comprises the purpose-built equestrian facilities, substantial outbuilding, and approximately 7.95 acres (3.22 ha) of well-maintained grazing land and woodland. This flexible arrangement offers buyers the option to tailor the purchase to their specific needs.

PROPERTY DETAILS
Lot 2 presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking high-quality equestrian facilities and productive grazing land in a peaceful rural setting. Extending to approximately 7.95 acres (3.22 ha), this self-contained lot includes a substantial agricultural building with stabling, well-fenced paddocks, and woodland, all with separate vehicular access—ideal for private use or potential commercial equestrian enterprise.

The land surrounding The Hollies can be accessed directly from the house or via a separate vehicular driveway. Both routes lead to a substantial 225 sq m agricultural shed housing four large loose boxes, a pony stable (all with automatic water drinkers and rubber matting), a wash bay/stable 6, a secure tack room, and a feed room.

The well-fenced, level grazing land produces approximately 25 large round bales of haylage annually. Water has already been brought to the fence line, making it easy to install automatic troughs if desired.

A 30m x 45m paddock lies behind the house, adjacent to the stable block, and would be ideal for conversion into an all-weather outdoor arena. There is also easy access to off-road and quiet country lane hacking, making this an outstanding home for equestrian enthusiasts.
