Sustainable Scottish Smallholding Dream (3 Acres + Barns + Solar + Biomass)

Описание: Historic Scottish Farmhouse With 3 Acres & Huge Barns

This stunning Category B listed Scottish farmhouse dating back to 1775 offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated rural home with three acres of productive gardens, traditional stone barns and a fascinating connection to Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns.

Set in an elevated and private position near Dumfries, Kemyshall is a former farmhouse that has been extensively renovated by the current owners over the past 34 years. The house now combines historic character with modern eco-friendly living, including solar panels, a biomass heating system, specialist double glazing and underfloor heating.

The result is a home that retains its traditional charm while delivering impressive levels of comfort and sustainability.

Inside, the property offers flexible accommodation with three to four bedrooms and multiple reception rooms, all enjoying beautiful southerly views across the gardens and surrounding countryside.

Outside is where this property really shines.

The established grounds extend to around 3 acres and include orchards, productive vegetable beds, a polytunnel, greenhouse and mature gardens designed for year-round growing. The courtyard of original stone barns and agricultural buildings provides significant additional space and potential for workshops, studios or further development (subject to permissions).

Properties like this rarely come to market — combining history, sustainability and the smallholding lifestyle in one beautifully restored home.
