Duncan continued: ‘The land at Wester Gartchonzie offers the potential for a combination of an upland farming unit, with the moor providing excellent summer grazing with the in-bye pasture allowing for a productive block of improved pasture ground.

‘The woodlands and topography of land provide a natural environment for deer, and game, but also provide shelter for livestock during harsh weather.

‘Recently the land has been let on a seasonal basis for sheep and cattle but prior to that, 30 Highland Cattle plus followers were run in-hand on the farm by the current owners.’

There are two telecoms masts situated in the southwest corner of the estate and these currently generate a secondary source of income and are available as a separate lot (lot 2).
