An award-winning Scottish Christmas tree farm that boasts 10 Downing Street and The Ritz amongst its clientele has been put up for sale for £2m.

Garrocher Christmas tree farm comes with over 300,000 trees planted across roughly 330 acres of fertile and productive Solway coast farmland and boasts a projected income of £1.7m across the next four years.

The listing has been posted by John Clegg & Co the forestry division of Strutt & Parker. The estate also features a three-bedroom farmhouse, handling and wrapping facilities, and employee accommodation.

The farm, which regularly supplies outdoor centrepiece Christmas trees to 10 Downing Street and the Ritz Hotel in London, won the Best Traditional Christmas Tree award at the national "tree Oscars" in 2020.

Harry Graham, associate director of John Clegg & Co stated that this is an “excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established and highly successful business” that just so happens to be located “in one of Scotland’s most scenic and productive regions.”

In the listing he further stated: "The combination of first-class handling facilities, well-maintained infrastructure, and an attractive three-bed farmhouse makes Garrocher Farm an attractive investment for those seeking to continue the business or diversify into other agricultural ventures.

"We expect strong interest from those looking to invest in a profitable and distinctive enterprise."

The farm's crop consists of 262,000 Nordman fir trees, along with other species such as Norway spruce, Fraser fir, and Korean fir, all planted between 2009 and 2023.

The land is mostly flat or gently undulating, and its favourable climate and free-draining soils provide excellent growing conditions for fir trees, with growth rates on the best plots surpassing those found in many other regions of Scotland.

The planted area covers about 245 acres, divided into 26 plots, all secured with high-quality perimeter deer fencing and accessible directly from the public road or via well-maintained farm tracks. Currently, around 38 acres are fallow or bare following the harvesting of the first rotation, giving purchasers the option to replant with Christmas trees or return to agricultural use.

Mr Graham commended the well-established business in the listing, however, did point out the possibility of a return to agricultural use for any potential buyers, stating: "Since ownership, the property has been continuously managed as a commercial Christmas tree farm for the purpose of wholesale tree sales with an excellent client base all over Scotland and England.

"A prospective purchaser has the opportunity to continue to run and utilise this successful business model or may look to revert the land back to its original agricultural form to create a well-located and extremely attractive farming enterprise."
