Duncan Barrie, partner at Galbraith, who is handling the sale of the property said: “The farm benefits from being located in both a fertile and accessible area of rural Fife and I would expect Auchmuir to attract a considerable degree of interest.

"The farmhouse is attractive, spacious and retains many period features.

"There are an excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings on the property, and the arable land is well suited to producing good yields of a wide range of crops, notably cereals, and fodder but is well suited to potatoes or other root vegetables.

"The purchaser would find it relatively straightforward to continue with the business as a mixed arable and livestock farm with this quality of land.

"The current lotting also allows for existing local farming business to acquire one or more of the land lots and benefit form economies of scale.

“This part of Fife is well known for the attractive traditional villages of the East Neuk and Fife’s beautiful coastline includes sandy beaches at Tentsmuir and Elie, all within an hour’s drive.

"The purchasers would be able to enjoy the surrounding area and the farmhouse could make an ideal family home.”
