Set in a commanding elevated position just outside Rhynie, this distinguished stone-built former manse combines historical grandeur with rural tranquillity. Dating from the mid-18th century the property retains a wealth of period features including high gables, coped chimneys, and traditional stonework. Sympathetically extended with a modern south-facing conservatory, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation across multiple levels. While internally dated in places, the house is entirely serviceable and ready for a new chapter. With grounds extending to approximately 6.34 hectares, including a 17th century walled garden, formal south lawn, arboretums, and mature woodland, the property provides an extraordinary setting with potential for horticulture, events, or leisure use. “A breathtaking example of all that is best about gardening in Scotland” The Scotsman, 2006.
