Land at Longforgan
SITUATION
Longforgan is approximately 2.5 miles west of Dundee and 15 miles east of Perth within the renowned farming area of the Carse of Gowrie. The land benefits from being in close proximity to the Longforgan grade separated junction which
leads directly onto the A90 dual carriageway, providing excellent road links both north and south.
Sitting at approximately 50m above sea level, the land benefits from a gentle southerly aspect and is bounded to the south and west by the A90 and to the north by Huntly Wood. A rage of large private residential properties are situated along the periphery to the north and west, while to the east the property is bordered by further high quality
arable land.
Tayside is well recognised as the primary fruit growing region in the country, reportedly producing over 70% of the soft fruit gown in Scotland in 2018/19. As such, the area is well serviced by agricultural merchants and contractors who
specialise in servicing the needs of arable and soft fruit enterprises.
Dundee and Perth are both within easy commuting distance and provide the full range of commercial, professional and leisure facilities one would expect from major cities.
Dundee is going through a period of revival with a billionpound waterfront redevelopment, including the V&A museum, and has undoubtedly improved its offering of independent shops, bars and restaurants in recent years.
It also offers an excellent range of larger supermarkets, national and international chain retailers and amenities, both in the city centre and at various retail parks. Dundee also boasts private secondary schooling at The High School of Dundee, two well regarded universities and the largest
teaching hospital in Europe.
