The land is varying in aspect rising from 98m above sea level at its lowest point on the northern boundary with Larkhall, to 152m above sea level at its highest point to the east of the lot and adjacent to the Canderside Toll roundabout. The majority of the farmland has been classified by the James Hutton Institute as Grade 3.2, with the areas of amenity woodland designated as Grade 6.1. The arable and pasture enclosures are all laid out in good-sized land parcels with the majority of the grazing fields benefitting from access to either a mains-fed water trough or natural water supplies.

The land in Lot 2 benefits from livestock handling pens which are located directly opposite the Canderside Farm road allowing for safe collection and movement of cattle. The area of mixed woodland forming Lot 2 has been designated as part of the Avondale Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and also forms part of the Clyde Valley Woods Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The woodland forms a semi-natural deciduous gorge woodland, mainly consisting of ash but with occasional rowan, willow and birch and is a haven for wildlife and ground flora.
