A FAMILY farm park in southern Scotland has been put up for sale.
Christie & Co is handling the sale of Mabie Farm & Lodge Park just outside Dumfries.
Nestled beneath the Mabie Forest and with views over the Solway Firth, the former dairy farm “captures the real essence and feel of an original working farm”.
The site features a petting zoo, a large café for refreshments and a range of outdoor activity areas, including a boating pond and barbecue areas.

Associate director of Christie & Co Mark Lavery, who is handling the sale, said: “Mabie Farm & Lodge Park offers various growth opportunities to any potential buyer.
“The business could be developed to include a larger main reception area expanding the gift section.
“The café offering could be expanded to include longer opening hours along with more local suppliers and products.
“The addition of 10 holiday lodges could provide an additional lucrative income stream for any buyer.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
