Glenmarkie Farmhouse is a substantial period farmhouse set at the head of Glenmarkie with extensive equestrian facilities and about 14.16 acres. The house (approx. 3,566 sq ft) offers six en suite bedrooms and flexible internal space that previously operated as a riding centre and guest house, so it suits a family home, holiday-let business or an equestrian smallholding. The property benefits from biomass central heating, south-facing aspects and open Highland glen views created by recent forestry clearance.
The estate includes a sand arena, two stable blocks (seven loose boxes in total plus field shelters), tack and feed rooms, two watered grass paddocks and further rough grazing. A separate modern two-bedroom cottage (Glenwhinny) of about 0.34 acres is available separately, ideal for holiday letting or multi-generational use, bringing a potential combined area of around 14.5 acres.
Buyers should note material practical limitations: EPC band E, very slow broadband and no mobile signal; the local area is described as very deprived and services are rural—nearest towns are 12–33 miles away. Some interior areas show signs of age and need updating for modern hospitality standards; the property formerly ran with a restricted table licence and mixed Airbnb use, so any commercial plans may require re-licensing and investment.
This is a rare opportunity for someone seeking a characterful rural lifestyle property with turnkey equestrian infrastructure and clear scope to restore, upgrade or expand a bed-and-breakfast/holiday business. For purchasers who value privacy, riding access from the door and wide Highland vistas, the setting and existing facilities represent immediate operational potential, balanced by the need for connectivity and some refurbishment.
