Alistair Christie of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a superb opportunity to acquire a celebrated equestrian property with excellent facilities and staff accommodation. The purchaser would be well positioned to continue a similar equestrian enterprise, and there is also an attractive farmhouse as the principal residence.
“The location is also highly convenient, less than an hour from the centre of Glasgow and within easy reach of Edinburgh and the central belt. This is Scotland’s best-known horse racing establishment.”
Galbraith said: “The extensive range of high-quality equestrian and agricultural buildings at Belstane includes timber-built stables, various stores and sheds, a workshop, tack rooms and stables of steel portal frame construction.
“The farmhouse has well-presented accommodation with modern fixtures and fittings, including four bedrooms, [the] master bedroom with en-suite and walk in wardrobe, one reception room, attractive kitchen and extensive ancillary accommodation including a utility room, office, cloakroom and family bathroom.
“The staff accommodation is well presented and is divided into two wings, with the south-wing accommodation having four double bedrooms, shower room, office, WC, store room, kitchen and boot room.”
Galbraith added: “There are two covered motorised horse walkers: a Monarch system with 10 spaces and a Claydon system with six spaces.”
