FIND YOUR DREAM COUNTRY HOME

Our property of the month BALHOMIE, CARGILL, PERTHSHIRE £950,000

THERE’S SOMETHING FAIRY TALE-ESQUE ABOUT THIS GRAND TURRETED ABODE IN THE HEART OF PERTHSHIRE – and, indeed, the story of its creation is a rather romantic one. Built in 1901, it’s said the location was chosen during a picnic: when Lady Emma Moon admired the views stretching across the River Tay, her husband, Lord Ernest, vowed to build a house on the exact spot. Now this Scots Baronial ‘C’-listed property sits amid its own orchard, former kitchen garden, original glasshouses and stables. Inside, in addition to five bedrooms, is a galleried landing centred around an open fire, where you can thaw out after a chilly morning spent on the slopes of Glenshee snowsports centre, less than one hour away.
