A first class dairy farm with state of the art facilities
Garryhorn Farm has been in the same family ownership since the mid-1980s and is an immaculately presented dairy farm with accommodation for young stock. The farm is intersected by a minor public road and benefits from two separate farm steadings. The original Garryhorn steading provides extensive young stock accommodation with associated silage and slurry storage. The new Garryhorn steading was purpose built in 2009 and provides a state of the art dairy complex including a 50 point rotary parlour, 500 cubicles, 2 silage pits, slurry storage for 2 million gallons, feed stores including Collinson feed bins, bulk tank room, changing room with shower and toilet, generator room, veterinary and medicines store, manager's office and a meeting room. In 2022 a solar array of 180kw was installed to service the dairy complex. There are a range of dwelling houses at Garryhorn, predominantly utilised for staff housing. Hill View Cottage is adjacent to the new Garryhorn steading and Garryhorn Cottages 1 and 2 are located on the other side of the main road.
The land is bisected by the public road and extends to about 338 acres. The land is generally all down to grass utilised for grazing or silage production with exception of 40 - 50 acres of spring wheat grown annually as part of a 7 year re-seeding programme. Garryhorn Farm is offered to the market as a whole.
Owned but excluded from the sale are Old Garryhorn Farmhouse (6 bedrooms) and Glenalmond Cottage (3 bedrooms). They are both available to the purchaser of the farm by separate negotiation. Further details are available from the selling agents.
Garryhorn Farm benefits from a relatively recently completed, purpose built dairy complex known as New Garryhorn. It was constructed in 2009 on a greenfield site away from the original farm buildings creating an opportunity for increased bio-security with the old farm buildings being utilised for young stock rearing. Old Garryhorn Steading was the original dairy farm, but since 2009 and the commissioning of the new complex it has been repurposed for young stock rearing.
Farmland - The land at Garryhorn extends to 338 acres and is predominantly ploughable pasture which is classified as class 3(2), 4(1) and 4(2) by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research. The farm lies between 108 metres at its lowest point on the eastern boundary of the farm and 210 metres above sea level at its highest point on the western boundary of the farm. The land is utilised for grazing the dairy herd and production of silage for winter forage. There is a mains water supply to troughs within all field enclosures which are predominantly post and wire fenced. Access is either via the public road or the useful network of internal tracks.
