Description

Burnside of Carnousie is a substantial rural holding with farmhouse, bungalow, extensive outbuildings and approximately 10 acres, offering exceptional redevelopment potential.
Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable rural holding in a peaceful Aberdeenshire countryside setting, close to the village of Aberchirder. Comprising two residential properties, an extensive range of agricultural and workshop buildings, and approximately 10 acres of land, the property offers outstanding potential for redevelopment, renovation and a variety of rural lifestyle or business ventures, subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation includes a traditional three-bedroom farmhouse and a separate two-bedroom bungalow, complemented by an impressive collection of outbuildings. These include a workshop/barn, detached stable block, tack room and stabling, additional barns, stores, workshops and open-fronted storage areas. At the heart of the steading is a substantial agricultural building incorporating a barn together with a range of workshops and storage facilities, creating a versatile base for a variety of future uses.

Although the farmhouse, bungalow and outbuildings require modernisation and refurbishment, they provide an excellent foundation for those seeking a rewarding development project. The bungalow offers flexibility as ancillary accommodation for extended family members or guests and may also lend itself to holiday-let use.
Extending to approximately 10 acres, the land has excellent potential to be restored and returned to productive use, whether for agricultural, equestrian or smallholding purposes. The existing stabling and extensive outbuildings further enhance the property's appeal for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or rural enterprise.

Occupying a tranquil position, the property combines the charm and privacy of rural living with convenient access to local amenities. Everyday services are available in nearby Aberchirder, while the larger towns of Turriff and Banff provide a wider selection of shops, schools and leisure facilities.

Opportunities offering this combination of accommodation, land, outbuildings, Burnside of Carnousie represents an exciting chance to create a bespoke country home, small farm, equestrian property or multi-generational rural retreat in an attractive and accessible Aberdeenshire location.
