Oakfield offers an excellent development opportunity to transform 10 acres of well situated agricultural land into a thriving and profitable equestrian holiday accommodation business. The site currently has planning permission for the erection of two holiday lodges, two glamping pods, two caravan pitches and change of use of the static caravan to a reception/welfare unit. The site is situated only a few miles from Dumfries Town Centre.
The Land
The land is available as a whole. With roadside access, the land is stock proof and generally well fenced throughout. Planning was granted for a steel frame agricultural shed, with corrugated steel sheet walls and roof. The shed has been constructed and is currently being used as stables. There is a static caravan on the land which has planning permission to be used as an office/welfare unit. The caravan is serviced by LPG gas. The solar panels are not included in the sale.
