330-acre Highland farm launches in one of Scotland’s most productive regions

A productive arable and stock unit in one of the Highlands' most established farming districts has launched to the market.

 

Wester Moy Farm, near Muir of Ord in Ross-shire, is available via Strutt & Parker's Estates & Farm Agency team for offers over £2,285,000, as a whole or in three lots.

Euan MacCrimmon, Director in Strutt & Parker's Scottish Estates & Farm Agency team, says: "Wester Moy Farm is a highly productive and well-balanced farming unit in an area where opportunities on this scale seldom come to the market. The combination of productive land, good infrastructure, and accessibility gives it broad appeal, whether buyers are looking to expand an existing operation or invest in a substantial Highland farming asset."

 The farm sits to the west of Dingwall, close to the Black Isle and within easy reach of Inverness - an area widely regarded as one of the Highlands' most productive farming districts thanks to its relatively low altitude, established agricultural infrastructure and strong transport links.

 The farm itself combines a substantial acreage of productive arable and grazing land with a range of modern and traditional farm buildings, all set against rolling Ross-shire countryside.

 The land ranges between about 25m and 100m above sea level, with a southerly aspect and much of it classified Grade 3.1, 3.2 and 4.2 by the James Hutton Institute. The farm is easily accessed from the main road and using internal farm tracks.

 Long managed as an arable and stock unit, the holding is well suited to continued agricultural use, while also offering scope for woodland creation and environmental projects.

 Lot 1 forms the heart of the holding and includes 246.58 acres of arable and grazing land together with a useful steading comprising a mix of modern sheds and traditional stone buildings. The surrounding land is largely arable, interspersed with areas of pasture.

 Lot 2 extends to 72.91 acres of grazing and pasture to the north of the farm, while Lot 3 comprises a ring-fenced 10.72-acre field which may offer longer-term development potential, subject to the necessary consents.
