A Rural Residential Smallholding With Huge Development Opportunities Located In A Picturesque Area With Fabulous Far Reaching Views Across The Surrounding Countryside
Fintloch is situated in a stunning rural location nestled within the Galloway hills close to the pretty village of New Galloway, occupying an elevated site with far reaching views over the Galloway Hills and surrounding countryside.
The property has been unoccupied for some time and does require full refurbishment, however, presents a superb blank canvas to create a wonderful family home along with a variety of opportunities to develop smallscale agricultural, equestrian or any other tourist-based enterprise in a rural yet accessible area of Dumfries & Galloway.
The traditional courtyard steading to the rear could well have residential development potential given that the conversion of traditional farm buildings to residential dwellings (change of use), is consistent with the Dumfries & Galloway Council’s present structure and local plans. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries in this respect. The views from the steading framed by the current openings are absolutely stunning!
The land at Fintloch amounts to about 3.141 acres to include the areas occupied by the farmhouse, steading, access tracks, etc. The land affords the opportunity to establish a smallholding / horticultural type business or indeed there may be some development opportunity for tourism enterprises.
The nearest local services are found at the pretty village of New Galloway where you will find a community run village shop retailing general groceries and locally produced products along with the fantastic Arts & Community Centre, the Catstrand, presenting a high quality of programmes throughout the year. Primary schooling is also available within New Galloway with St John’s Town of Dalry (3.5 miles distant) offering both primary and secondary schooling. In addition to this, The Old Smiddy, within the village, is a satellite centre of the CatStrand.
Outside
There are garden grounds to the front and side of the dwelling with the traditional courtyard steading to the rear.
Traditional Steading
The traditional steading is in a reasonable condition commensurate with its age and mainly comprises of a range of stone-built barns and byres. As mentioned earlier, these traditional stone buildings could well have residential development potential given that the conversion of traditional farm buildings to residential dwellings (change of use), is consistent with the Dumfries & Galloway Council’s present structure and local plans. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries in this respect.
The grazing land
The land amounts to about 3 acres with direct access from Fintloch. At present the land is down to grass for grazing and offers huge potential for a variety of different enterprises.
