An accessible ring-fenced block of grazing land of about 58 acres with a ruin and consent to construct an agricultural shed.
 

Situation 
The land at Low Plyde Farm lies in a ring-fence to the north off the B7046 about 2 miles west of Ochiltree and about 1 mile south of the A70. Ochiltree provides for all local conveniences and includes a primary school. A wider range of shops, supermarkets and professional services are available in Ayr (11 miles). 
 
Glasgow is approximately 38 miles from the land (via the A76 which leads onto the M77) and has all the cultural, higher educational and leisure services normally associated with a major international centre.  
 
Prestwick Airport (14 miles) and Glasgow Airport (38 miles) both offer an increasingly wide range of flights to domestic and international destinations. The ferry terminals at Troon (19 miles) and Stranraer (59 miles) provide daily crossings to Northern Ireland. Ayr has a main line rail station which provides regular and quick access to Glasgow. 
 
Farmland 
The land extends to about 58 acres (24 hectares) in total and has good access via two gateways to the public highway.  
 
The majority of the land is level, with a high point of 158m (518 ft) above sea-level at the ruin. According to the Macaulay Institute maps, the land is classified as 41. 
 
The land is currently down to grass and all of the fields have been ploughed in the past 5 years. Spring Barley has been grown by the current owner. 
 
There is a mains water supply, it is all fenced for stock and lies within a Less Favoured Area. 
 
Ruin 
A former access track of the B7046 leads to Low Plyde Farm Ruin which is situated centrally within the land.
