With 240 acres of land, a small loch and even its very own private chapel, Straloch House Estate has to be seen to be believed.
The magnificent Georgian-style mansion is the epitome of opulence and takes pride of place amid beautiful landscaped parkland, woodland and grazing land.
£2.7 million price tag
On the market for offers over £2,700,000, you certainly get plenty for your money as the property also includes a B-listed two-bedroom gate lodge and a private chapel.
In the grounds there are a lochan (small loch) and waterfall, a two-acre C listed walled garden and the Straloch Burn that gently runs through part of the estate, while the woodland extends to about 135 acres.
Built around 1780, Straloch House has been attentively restored internally and externally by the current owners over the past decade to marry original classical features with outstanding modern finishes.
Hannah Christiansen, of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is an exceptionally beautiful property offering a wonderful rural lifestyle for those buyers looking to escape larger cities and have peace and space, yet only five miles from the airport at Aberdeen.”
