Old Steading, Elrig Farm, Elrig

The Machars is a quiet peninsula enjoying rugged coastline and rolling farmland full of small villages and rural hamlets. The Old Steading is well positioned on the outskirts of Elrig which is a small hamlet which is approximately 10 miles from Wigtown and 17.5 miles from the main market town of Newton Stewart. There is underfloor heating throughout the property.

Newton Stewart is a busy Galloway market town set on the banks of the River Cree in a genuinely rural area and regarded by many as the gateway to the Galloway hills. There is a museum, leisure centre, post office, banks, cinema and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels and restaurants.

The area has a wide range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers, golf, and with an extensive range of walks and cycle paths.
