The New Keig & Kinstair Farms comprise five named agricultural units which are farmed as a single extensive farming business centred around a modern grain processing and storage facility, currently handling circa 4,000 tonnes of seed per annum for both local farmers and a number of national agricultural merchants. The current business model includes the processing of grain grown on site in addition to the facility attracting seed merchants from across Aberdeenshire and beyond.

The land, which in total extends to 1,147 acres (464 hectares), is predominately Class 3 arable ground. The property is predominately south and west facing, with the exception of north facing Kinstair. The farm is in good heart, consistently producing high quality crops including oil seed rape, winter wheat and spring and winter barley.

Cairncosh Farmhouse (currently undergoing a full renovation which will be completed prior to a sale) provides a spacious single storey home including four bedrooms enjoying fine views across open countryside and located adjacent to the site of a former steading, now demolished and with planning permission for three new dwelling houses. Additional residential properties may be available by separate negotiation.

There are a number of traditional steadings across the property, offering opportunity for use alongside the agricultural activity on the farms by creating new primary or secondary steading complexes, or potential for development to alternative uses (subject to planning). Local planning policy is generally supportive of the conversion of traditional buildings to residential use providing that the Council is satisfied that they are of architectural merit, are capable of conversion and are physically suited for residential use. Where conversion isn't suitable there may be potential to clear the site for the erection of up to three dwellings.
