Available is a noteworthy agricultural estate with substantial development prospects, situated near Dunecht, just a short jaunt from Westhill. Mains of Skene Farm encompasses approximately 212.04 acres (85.81 hectares) of prime arable land and woodlands, complemented by farm steadings and a derelict farmhouse that presents significant opportunities for renovation. This farmhouse, currently in need of extensive modernization, holds potential to serve as the central residence for an agricultural business or to be transformed into additional residential units.
Recent planning consent (app/2024/1092) has been granted for the creation of five houses on this site, along with the approval to extend and renovate the existing farmhouse—an exciting avenue for generating further income. The estate also features a substantial walled garden measuring roughly 2.55 acres (1.03 hectares), offering diverse possibilities for future use or restoration.
Additionally, the Balmuir Wood spans approximately 29 acres (11 hectares) of commercial conifers like Sitka Spruce and boasts prospects for immediate timber sales alongside the environmental benefits provided by mixed broadleaf woodlands spread across another 24 acres (10 hectares). The combination of productive farmland, potential residential development, and timber resources create a unique investment opportunity in this picturesque Scottish region.
