A mixed farm extending to over 300-acres in an area of Aberdeenshire renowned for its agricultural quality has launched onto the market.

Barnhill Farm, a landholding with first class arable land and permanent pasture located near Laurencekirk, is now for sale.

The land, situated in a highly productive area of farmland in southern Aberdeenshire, extends in total to 305 acres.

The James Hutton Institute classifies the land as primarily Grades 3(2) and 4(1) with some 4(2).

Barnhill is well suited for livestock grazing, having previously supported a suckler herd, or growing a range of crops.

The farm also includes a derelict farmhouse and cottage, a phone mast which generates an annual income and a range of farm buildings with development potential, subject to planning permission.

Tom Stewart, a partner with Galbraith who is handling the sale, said it was a 'rare opportunity' to acquire a productive farm in an area renowned for its good quality.
