Peacefully situated on the south valley side of the River Devon, Dollarfield Land offers a range of uses including small paddock, mixed grazing, versatile amenity space and outdoors getaway. Within one mile is the charming village of Dollar with cafes, pubs and shops for refreshments and other facilities. Nearby enchanting river, woodland and hill walks, varied cycle paths and trails can be explored locally and a little further afield.

The land on a gradual slope rises up from about 35m above sea level with the B913 road along its lower northern boundary to about 70m at its highest southern corner point. Broadly triangular in shape and of grade 4 Land Classification, with undulations and flatter areas across the hill side, the field presents good potential for equestrian use, grass production and quality grazing. Internal track access and parking could be formed through the top field gate above or a new field gate a bit lower down off the same slip road, or from the B913 public road gate below, with a shed, stable or structure located in the more secluded field areas to the west, all subject to the required consents. There is a small overhead power line crossing the southwest field corner near the top gate.

Small woodland areas to the northwest and northeast corner including a pretty 40m section of burn, together with neighbouring mature woods and wooded glens, enhance the field and wildlife environment and provide good screening and shelter. Plenty of scope exists for engaging in land or biodiversity projects such as wildflower meadows, native tree-planting in small parkland pockets or more extensively, creating clearings or woodland glades, east and north boundary hedge-laying, and a wildlife pond subject to the required consent. Ecological habitats and nature already thrive there and nearby, including for example a wet flush towards the northeast field corner nurturing amphibians and red squirrels in adjacent woodland. More fruitful seed and berry shrubs and orchard trees may also be possible on the drier soil areas for diverse birdlife.

For those seeking land close by or further away for rural hobbies and breaks, private camping or with comforts nearby, it is ideally placed in a quiet but accessible setting, near to country villages, farm shops and highways. The scenic views there over Dollar Glen and Castle Campbell carved into the Ochil Hill range are quite inspiring.
