Savills Edinburgh CKD Galbraith Perth Wemyss House Lynedoch House 8 Wemyss Place Barossa Place Edinburgh Perth EH3 6DG PH1 5EP 0131 247 3720 01738 451 111 [email protected] [email protected] DESCRIPTION Newton of Auchterhouse is an extensive arable and stock unit extending to about 896 acres in total with a traditional farmhouse. The farm currently forms part of the larger Kinpurnie Estate and has been let on a series of short term grazing and cropping agreements but will be available with vacant possession on 31st October 2015.

The holding lies within a single contiguous block and has good access off either minor public roads intersecting the farm or off internal hard tracks. The fields are of a good workable size and layout.

The land can be classified as:

Hectares Type Acres 145.17 Arable 358.73 32.33 Permanent Pasture 79.89 127.90 Rough Grazing 316.05 56.19 Woodland 138.85 1.38 Other 3.41 362.97 Total 896.94

The shooting rights over the farm are let until 1st February 2016 and form part of a wider pheasant shoot over the surrounding estate. The farm’s own natural topography, coupled with the strategically planted coverts, could provide the foundation of a smaller driven shoot. SITUATION Newton of Auchterhouse is situated on the southern side of the Sidlaw Hills, in an area renowned for highly productive mixed arable and stock farms. The village of Newtyle lies about 2½ miles to the north and Dundee about 8½ miles to the south east.

Dundee provides an excellent range of shops and professional services, together with good leisure facilities. Home to the Universities of Dundee and Abertay, Dundee is an established centre of excellence in education and life sciences. The city’s renowned cultural facilities are soon to be augmented by the V&A Museum of Design, anticipated to open in 2018. This world class building by Kengo Kuma will be the centrepiece of Dundee’s ambitious waterfront regeneration project.

There are several private schools in the area including Dundee High School and St Leonards in St Andrews, with further schools in both Perthshire and Edinburgh. There are primary schools in Newtyle and Birkhill (4.5 miles) whilst secondary schools can be found in Dundee and Monifieth.

The recreational opportunities in the area are excellent. For the golfer there are numerous courses within a comfortable distance including Carnoustie, which hosted the open in 1999 and 2007, St Andrews, with its world famous courses, and more locally the challenging 18 hole course at Piperdam. Fishing can be taken on the River Tay, and there is horse racing and polo at Scone Palace.

Perthshire and Angus are well served by agricultural merchants and dealers and there is a successful local machinery ring which can provide additional resources as and when required. Grain and potatoes are shipped directly from Dundee and there are livestock markets at Forfar and Perth. Newton Of Auchterhouse, Auchterhouse, Dundee, Angus, DD2 5PB Approx.
