The farm is located at a bridging point and just above the floodplain of the Greenock Water. It is a farm with an interest in both sheep and beef cattle. Located on the south facing slopes of a ridge running up to the summit of Middlefield Law (Image), there is a marked contrast between the improved grassland round the farm and the moorland vegetation of the north facing slope in the foreground. There are several areas of new plantings of trees along the small tributary valley above and to the side of the farm buildings.
