Set along the banks of the River Tay, this newly renovated country house sits within a large riverside holding with extensive private frontage, mature woodland and proven angling pedigree. The property was restored to serve as a comfortable fishing lodge and retains the practical layout and character that made it successful as a commercial let and base for fishing guests.
The sale is offered by the executors and includes two distinct opportunities: purchase of the house and grounds, and the option to buy 39 weeks of timeshare salmon fishings across six well‑known Tay beats (sold independently or together). The fishings have produced strong catch records (327 fish in 2024; five‑year average 233), and a number of weeks are held in perpetuity while others run on long leases — this gives immediate revenue and long‑term angling value but requires careful review of individual timeshare terms.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site lies within a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which will restrict certain works and development; tenure is listed as unknown; the property is a probate sale; and the local area scores as very deprived. Practical service limitations include no mobile signal and only average broadband speeds. Council tax is described as very expensive.
This is a specialist riverside holding best suited to an angling investor, owner‑operator, or a buyer seeking a high‑value leisure asset with conservation interest. The accommodation is modest (one bedroom, one bathroom) and functions well as a lodge base—buyers seeking a large family home should plan for extension or conversion work subject to SAC and planning constraints.
