Newlands of Clans is a delightful smallholding extending to about 59.4 acres in all, with a three bedroom farmhouse, various farm buildings and good quality farmland. The property is being sold subject to a secure agricultural tenancy, (under the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1991).

Rod Christie, a partner with Galbraith based in Inverness, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to take on the landlord’s interest in a lovely smallholding in a scenic and peaceful area. The current tenants have occupied the property for many years and have expressed their desire to remain on the farm for the foreseeable future. Sales of this kind are relatively rare and the sale represents a wonderful opportunity to make a long term investment in this sector of the market”.

The traditional farmhouse provides comfortable accommodation including a hall, kitchen, bathroom, sitting room and three bedrooms with a garden on two sides of the farmhouse.

The farm buildings include a traditional steading which is based around a stone ‘L’ shaped byre under a corrugated tin roof, together with various timber additions and a modern portal frame infill used as a small cattle court.

The farmland is divided into 11 enclosures and is used for grazing livestock with turnips (fodder) grown on rotation. The land has been classified by the James Hutton Institute as mainly grades 3(2) and 4(1), capable of growing barley and root vegetables. There are some seven acres of woodland / scrub.

A passing rent of £1,600 per annum is payable to the landlord each year. The passing rent has not been reviewed for several years and it is anticipated that subject to serving the correct notices and ensuring compliance with all aspects of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1991, there may be scope to increase this to the current market level.

Despite the tranquil setting, the property is easily accessible to local services, with Cawdor 3.5 miles, Nairn 5.5 miles and the city of Inverness 11.5 miles.

Newlands of Clans is for sale through Galbraith for offers in the region of £250,000.
