Cutreoch and Morrach Farms are situated in a spectacular coastal location on the periphery of the historical village of the Isle of Whithorn. Cutreoch and Morrach Farms are productive stock rearing and feeding farm benefitting from two semi-detached farm cottages, farm steading and about 510 acres of agricultural land.
Cutreoch and Morrach Farms are highly productive stock rearing units with the land classified as mainly yield classes 4 & 5 of the Macaulay Land Capability Scale as produced by the James Hutton Institute. The land is fertile, well drained and fenced with access tracks given the topography of the land, it affords the property a degree of sporting potential and further potential for natural capital projects.
The farm cottages until recent times have been utilised as very successful holiday lets but it has to be noted that originally they were a single unit, known as Morrach Farmhouse. It will be the buyer’s prerogative to keep the cottages as holiday lets or farmworkers’ accommodation/ restore them to their former glory as the main Farmhouse / live in one cottage while renting out the second one for a steady stream of revenue / or for a young family to live in the large cottage while using the other one as a small, independent Granny’s Annexe. The potential is all there.
The Machars region is noted for its spectacular coastline, hills and magnificent forests. This area lies within the climatically favoured Southwest corner of Scotland, which is noted for its mild climate and long growing season, owing to the proximity of the Gulf Stream and is known as one of the most productive grass growing regions of the United Kingdom.
THE FARM COTTAGES (once the original Morrach Farmhouse)
These traditional period cottages are accessed via a sweeping, private tarmacked road running along the scenic coastline. The properties occupy an elevated site within their own generous garden grounds, and boast stunning, uninterrupted sea views over the Solway Firth and the Isle of Man. Prime rock-fishing is available just 300 yards away from the cottages.
FARM STEADING
The steading comprises of a range of modern farm buildings of mainly steel portal construction. The buildings are set up for the overwintering of cattle and the storage of fodder.
The steading contains four main structures with one benefitting from a lean-to on either side. The roofs are mainly big six sheeted. A further shed, closer to the cottages, is utilised as general storage and benefits from extra height at the eaves.
THE AGRICULTURAL LAND
Cutreoch and Morrach Farms extends in total to about 521.13 acres (210.9 hectares) to include the areas occupied by the cottages, steading, access roads, woodlands, etc.
The agricultural land lies within a ring fence and is contained within 29 field enclosures. The land is at present all down to grass for grazing or mowing, with some areas of new planting under a farm woodland grant. The land has great potential for natural capital projects, but at present, is grazed on a seasonal basis.
The whole of the property is served by private water which is situated on the area to be retained by the sellers, however, the necessary servitude will be granted in favour of the purchaser in this respect.
