Ten-acre rural estate with three homes, proven holiday-let income and business-ready facilities..
Approximately ten acres of private countryside land
Three dwellings on one estate — main house plus two self-contained steadings
One steading currently trading as a proven holiday let
Large UPVC cabin (approx. 40m²) with power, water and internet — gym/office
Detached double garage, summer house, BBQ hut and covered hot tub
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for business-from-home use
Remoter location in a very deprived area — may affect local demand
Large estate upkeep and septic systems require ongoing maintenance
Set within approximately ten acres of Aberdeenshire countryside, this converted-stadding estate at Blackbriggs combines a substantial four-bedroom family home with two self-contained steadings and extensive outbuildings. The main house offers generous, light-filled rooms, high ceilings in parts, a modern fitted kitchen, two sunrooms and a large utility/boiler area. One steading currently operates as a successful holiday let; the other mirrors its layout and can be used similarly or for guests.
The site includes a detached double garage, a purpose-built 40m² UPVC cabin (divided into gym and office with power, internet and plumbing), summer house, BBQ hut and a covered hot tub. Practical strengths include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for running a business from home — plus independent septic tanks for the steadings and private access via a single road. Flood risk is recorded as none and council tax is moderate.
This is a versatile proposition for investors, multi-generational families or anyone wanting a rural business: holiday-let income is proven on at least one unit, and the properties can be sold together to preserve the estate’s full potential. The large plot and ancillary buildings create clear scope for further income streams or adaptation subject to local planning and consents.
Important considerations: the location is in a remoter community within a wider area classified as very deprived, which may affect local demand and services. The estate’s size and multiple dwellings bring ongoing maintenance and operating costs (septic systems, grounds, outbuildings). Prospective buyers should allow for management requirements and check regulatory responsibilities for holiday-let operations.
