A first class dairy farm with state of the art facilities
Description
Garryhorn Farm has been in the same family ownership since the mid-1980s and is an immaculately presented dairy farm with accommodation for young stock. The farm is intersected by a minor public road and benefits from two separate farm steadings. The original Garryhorn steading provides extensive young stock accommodation with associated silage and slurry storage. The new Garryhorn steading was purpose built in 2009 and provides a state of the art dairy complex including a 50 point rotary parlour, 500 cubicles, 2 silage pits, slurry storage for 2 million gallons, feed stores including Collinson feed bins, bulk tank room, changing room with shower and toilet, generator room, veterinary and medicines store, manager’s office and a meeting room. In 2022 a solar array of 180kw was installed to service the dairy complex. There are a range of dwelling houses at Garryhorn, predominantly utilised for staff housing. Hill View Cottage is adjacent to the new Garryhorn steading and Garryhorn Cottages 1 and 2 are located on the other side of the main road.
The land is bisected by the public road and extends to about 338 acres. The land is generally all down to grass utilised for grazing or silage production with exception of 40 - 50 acres of spring wheat grown annually as part of a 7 year re-seeding programme. Garryhorn Farm is offered to the market as a whole.
Owned but excluded from the sale are Old Garryhorn Farmhouse (6 bedrooms) and Glenalmond Cottage (3 bedrooms). They are both available to the purchaser of the farm by separate negotiation. Further details are available from the selling agents.
Garryhorn Farm benefits from a relatively recently completed, purpose built dairy complex known as New Garryhorn. It was constructed in 2009 on a greenfield site away from the original farm buildings creating an opportunity for increased bio-security with the old farm buildings being utilised for young stock rearing. Old Garryhorn Steading was the original dairy farm, but since 2009 and the commissioning of the new complex it has been repurposed for young stock rearing.
Farmland - The land at Garryhorn extends to 338 acres and is predominantly ploughable pasture which is classified as class 3(2), 4(1) and 4(2) by the James Hutton Institute for Soil Research. The farm lies between 108 metres at its lowest point on the eastern boundary of the farm and 210 metres above sea level at its highest point on the western boundary of the farm. The land is utilised for grazing the dairy herd and production of silage for winter forage. There is a mains water supply to troughs within all field enclosures which are predominantly post and wire fenced. Access is either via the public road or the useful network of internal tracks.
Location
Located within an accessible and attractive part of South Ayrshire, Garryhorn Farm is within close proximity to the A77 connecting Stranraer in the south to Glasgow in the north. The local area is renowned for its productive farmland due to the land quality and mild wet climate, creating the perfect combination for grass based farming.
The town of Maybole is 4 miles to the south of the farm and provides nursery, primary and secondary schooling, a small selection of shops, a supermarket and professional services.
The county town of Ayr is 7 miles to the north and is well known for its first class racecourse and the long established livestock market. There is a wide range of local facilities including shops, supermarkets, leisure and professional services as well as further nursery, primary and secondary schooling (including Wellington independent school). The racecourse is home of the Scottish Grand National meeting held annually in the spring. Ayr United, formed in 1910, is the local football team and there are both rugby and cricket clubs in the town. Ayr also has a swimming pool, ten pin bowling, an ice rink and a choice of golf courses as well as river and park walks. The Scottish Rural University College (sruc) has a campus in the town and the nearest livestock market, Craig Wilson Ltd, sits on the outskirts.
Travel connections in the area are good with excellent access to the A77, linking the ferry port at Cairnryan (near Stranraer) to Glasgow. Within Ayr there is a railway station providing regular services north to Glasgow as well as services to the south, terminating in Stranraer. Prestwick Airport is a short drive from the farm (5 miles) and Glasgow International Airport is 38 miles to the north and offers a wide range of domestic, European and international flights.
South Ayrshire is a picturesque mixture of rolling countryside, extensive woodlands and rugged coastline, making for an especially attractive setting and providing a wealth of opportunities for outdoor pursuits including golf (several courses around Ayr, Prestwick and Troon), shooting, cycling, hill walking and water sports.
