The 118-acre Auchincruive Estate, within three miles of Ayr, boasts 122,500 square feet of buildings, some of which are let and generate a rental income while others are suitable for sale or redevelopment.
In 2012, the site was granted planning consent for up to 495 houses, a hotel, golf course, business premises and equestrian centre, although parts of the estate have since been sold.
