Summary - BARBUIE, THORNHILL, MONIAIVE DG3 4JE
10 bed 4 bath Farm House
Massive income-producing rural holding with loch, renewables and conversion opportunities.
Approximately 877 acres mixed pasture, silage, hill ground and woodland
A rare, income-producing Scottish estate combining an impressive Category C listed Georgian farmhouse with extensive agricultural land and diverse outbuildings. The main house (recently renovated) sits in established walled gardens beside a loch, pond and the Dalwhat Water, offering immediate fishing and leisure potential. Multiple renewable installations — biomass boiler, hydro turbine and solar panels — generate significant income and reduce running costs, with commercial tariffs remaining for a limited period.
The property extends to around 877 acres of mixed pasture, silage and hill ground, plus c.33 acres of woodland. Substantial farm buildings include a large slatted sheep shed, machinery and woodchip stores and a traditional stone range with conversion potential (subject to consents). An additional detached 3–4 bedroom cottage provides flexible use or holiday-let potential, while planning permission exists for an eco-pod by the loch.
There are material considerations to note. The listed status of the farmhouse will restrict alterations and add compliance costs; some structures require renovation or conversion consent. Upper Bardennoch is semi-derelict and would need a sewerage treatment plant and off-grid services installed to be habitable. The estate is offered freehold with vacant possession, but purchasers must accept existing servitudes, and council tax on the main house is high.
This estate suits an agricultural investor, developer or family seeking a large, self-sufficient rural holding with diverse revenue streams. Opportunities include farming in-hand or let, holiday accommodation, renewables expansion and woodland/carbon projects — all subject to planning and statutory permissions.
