The property includes land of about 45.99 hectares (113.64 acres), an attractive C-listed farmhouse and a range of useful agricultural buildings.

Auchyle Farm is situated in a stunning rural yet accessible location, within a short drive of the A811 leading to the M9 motorway and major road networks. The farm is bisected by the A81 which also acts as the boundary with the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park.

Alistair Christie of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a manageable farming unit, ideally suited to grazing livestock, or as a lifestyle unit in a beautiful area of central Scotland and bordering the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. Both Stirling and Callander are easily accessible and there is the added advantage of the potential to develop an area of the land for residential development, if desired, subject to all necessary consents. The opportunity here is likely to interest a wide range of buyers.”

 

Auchyle Farmhouse is an imposing traditional C-listed property, with well-presented accommodation including three double bedrooms, two reception rooms plus utility room, kitchen, and two shower rooms, with an attractive area of garden ground to the south.

Auchyle Farm has a good range of farm buildings including a cattle court, cattle sheds, kennels, lean-to and store. The mains sheds are modern and would be well suited to agriculture or indeed stabling.
