"The house itself is substantial, elegant and has been beautifully refurbished and maintained throughout, while retaining the period features and character of the property.

"It has lovely gardens and its secluded setting, surrounded by woodlands, with a private access track, is hard to beat.

“Despite the seclusion and natural beauty, Aviemore, with its choice of restaurants, pubs and train station, is less than two miles away.

"The house has a separate West Wing, which has been graded five-star by VisitScotland for a number of years and has been run successfully for short holiday lets providing very useful income and with scope to increase this.

“Furthermore, planning permission is in place for an additional house in an attractive setting in the grounds, which could create a further potential income stream.

"These options provide considerable flexibility for the next owner. It is a rare opportunity to be able to acquire a site in the Rothiemurchus area and the value of this site, with planning permission, should not be underestimated.”
