A farmhouse of this quality is especially rare, combining superb reception rooms, bespoke finishes and ample space to create a wonderful home. The location is also second to none, in the heart of beautiful Royal Deeside and yet within easy reach of Aberdeen.”

Adjacent to the farm buildings there is a hardcore base yard, suitable for the storage of machinery and silage bales. The water troughs in the cattle court are fed by an underground pipe, being frost free.
Pittenkerrie is situated in Royal Deeside, a much sought after residential area.
The land extends to 76.85 hectares (189.92 acres) and is fenced for the containment of livestock.
The land is classified as Grade 3(2) by The James Hutton Institute, and is capable of growing a wide range of crops, including potatoes, spring barley and grass for livestock. The land has been managed on a rotational basis for many years, benefitting from regular applications of dung and is therefore in excellent heart.
The area is well resourced in terms of agricultural infrastructure, being served by a number of grain merchants, agricultural suppliers and machinery dealers in addition to an active machinery ring. Auction Marts can be found in Huntly and Inverurie with modern abattoirs at Inverurie, Portlethen and Turriff.
The property is situated approximately three miles north west of Banchory and 22 miles west of the city of Aberdeen.
