A splendid Scottish residence, nestled by a loch within the Highlands' core, is now available for purchase.
In this article, we explore some of the most exquisite castles, country houses, and estates for sale in Scotland today. Among these, Lairg Lodge on the shores of Loch Shin stands out as a splendid Highland retreat, particularly for the Earls of Stair.
Situated on the southern tip of Loch Shin in Sutherland, Lairg is a picturesque spot in one of Scotland's most remote and sparsely populated areas. The lodge, a 10-bedroom Victorian property built for the Duke of Sutherland in 1879, boasts huge picture windows offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Lairg Lodge has been updated and improved, with no apparent maintenance issues. It features spacious bedrooms large enough to house four-poster beds, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking luxury and comfort.
The estate operates a successful holiday enterprise based on 3 ½ miles of double-bank salmon and sea-trout fishing. In addition, Phil's House and Reid's Cottage, rated four star by the Scottish Tourist Board, offer short-term lets.
Savills's Edinburgh office is seeking offers over £2.4m for Lairg Lodge and its River Shin Fishings.
Another estate worth mentioning is Challenger Estate, located in Scotland, which offers over 900 acres of pristine landscape. This estate is noteworthy for its two houses powered by wind turbines, a testament to its commitment to sustainability.
Penny Churchill, in discussing the appeal of Challenger Estate, notes that it is a unique property that offers a blend of history, luxury, and modernity. Golden eagles are being reintroduced in southern Scotland, beyond the Highlands, adding to the estate's natural beauty.
Lastly, we cannot overlook Skibo Castle, another of the spectacular Scottish castles and estates for sale. This Highland paradise, while not the focus of this article, is a testament to the rich architectural history and natural splendour that Scotland has to offer.
This article provides a glimpse into the world of Scotland's finest estates, inviting readers to envision their own Highland retreat amidst the country's breathtaking landscapes.
