Description Guiltreehill Farm has been in the current owner’s family for three generations, having originally been a tenanted farm on the Culzean and Cassillis Estate. It was run as a dairy farm for many years with the present owners converting to beef and sheep in the 1990s. The holding extends in total to about 488 acres (197 hectares) and includes a traditional category C listed farmhouse with a range of traditional farm buildings forming a courtyard behind.
