Grange Mains extends to approximately 73.92 hectares (182.65 acres) in total. The land sits in three parcels west of Minishant and is intersected by School Road. The farmhouse and steading are conveniently located for the total land holding, on the southern side of the public road. The farm buildings are general purpose, providing space for livestock and general storage as required. The land is mostly ploughable
pasture, and has been utilised predominantly for livestock grazing and silage in recent years. The property would be an ideal bolt on holding for larger farming operations, but equally could be developed further to be a stand alone unit. The property is offered as a whole or in two lots as described below.

The land is generally level with gentle slopes and is classified by the James Hutton Institute as a mixture of classes 3(2) and 4(2) on the Land Capability for Agriculture scale.
