Set on about six acres with roughly 5 acres of paddocks, Abercraig is a rare smallholding and equestrian opportunity on Royal Deeside. The single‑storey layout spreads across a substantial footprint and delivers six bedrooms, generous reception rooms and wide countryside views including Craigievar Castle and Pressendye Hill.
The house is comfortable as presented and benefits from a conservatory, wood‑burning stove and an integral garage/outbuilding. The land is IACS‑registered in three fields with gated internal access and a right of access from the public road, making it suitable for horses, small‑scale grazing or market gardening.
Practical realities to note: the property was built around 42 years ago and will suit buyers happy to update — heating is electric storage with immersion, the EPC is band E and broadband speeds are very slow. There is only one shower room for six bedrooms and council tax sits at band G, so running costs and modernisation are material considerations.
For families, multi‑generational households or buyers seeking a lifestyle change to countryside living, Abercraig offers scope to personalise living spaces, improve energy performance and capitalise on the large plot. The setting is peaceful and private, with excellent access to Lumphanan village, Royal Deeside amenities and Banchory for everyday services.
