Canderside Farm extends to approximately 123.89 Ha (306.13 Acres) and is centred on a traditional farmhouse which forms part of the courtyard steading, centrally located within the holding.

The farm benefits from a private and attractive outlook across the surrounding countryside to the east and west. The surrounding area is home to an array of wildlife and provides plenty of opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast.

There’s an excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings and a pair of semi-detached cottages, largely in a dilapidated state but remain relatively intact to wall and roof head level, presenting further development opportunities, subject to appropriate consent.

The farmland is divided into four separate blocks by the adjacent public roads and are generously sized, easily accommodating modern machinery, and are readily accessible.

Agriculturally, the surrounding area of South Lanarkshire provides an attractive location with a combination of productive pasture and arable ground, and is located close to agricultural amenities, including agricultural machinery sales and service in Strathaven and Lanark. Feed merchants are available in Stonehouse and Strathaven.

The farm is also within easy reach of a number of livestock markets, including Lanark Mart (12 miles), Ayr (35 miles) and the two livestock marts in Stirling (about 40 miles).

Duncan Barrie and Alistair Torrance, who are handling the sale for Galbraith in Stirling, said: “The sellers have owned Canderside Farm since 1921, having been tenants for many years prior to its purchase, and so this sale presents a rare opportunity for a single party or a number of interested parties to purchase various lots which comprise the farming unit, either to expand their current offering or as a new venture.

Alistair has advised that: “Historically, the farming system at Canderside focused on a mixed dairy, beef and arable system, with cereals and grass grown as part of the rotation. All of the grain, straw and silage was used for home consumption. Most of the land has now been let out on seasonal grazing and cropping agreements. The ploughable arable and pasture land has been worked to a good depth thanks to the rotation and healthy application of farmyard manure from both the dairy and beef enterprises over the years.”

Furthermore, Duncan explained: “The farm is extremely well placed in terms of the wider settlement boundaries of Stonehouse and Larkhall, and benefits from excellent road links via the A71 which passes at the end of the farm drive and provides swift access to Junction 8 of the M74 motorway which lies just to the east of the farm boundary, offering access to the whole of Central Scotland. The location and layout of the holding and range of buildings on offer, it is likely to appeal to both existing farmers but also individuals and investors looking to make a return on the property in the longer term.”
