Oyne, Aberdeenshire, AB52

There are homes that impress, and there are places that stay with you long after you’ve left. Craigshannoch Lodge belongs firmly with the latter.

Set within in approximately 8 acres of beautiful land in Aberdeenshire, this remarkable contemporary Scottish estate offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly rare. Ancient woodland, open pasture, beautifully landscaped grounds and breathtaking uninterrupted views combine to create a sanctuary where peace, privacy and luxury exist in perfect harmony.

Designed for those who value space, freedom and complete seclusion, Craigshannoch Lodge is a home that feels wonderfully connected to nature while offering every modern comfort expected of a world-class country residence. Whether enjoying an early morning walk through your own private woodland trails with your dogs, riding your horses across your own land, swimming in the estate’s freshwater swimming pond, casting a line into the stocked trout pond or simply relaxing on one of the many terraces with a glass of whisky as the sun sets across the estate, every day here offers an extraordinary sense of freedom.

The principal residence has been thoughtfully designed to combine contemporary architecture with effortless comfort, where every room has been positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape. The principal suite is a private retreat of exceptional quality, occupying its own beautifully considered wing. Opening through expansive bi-folding doors onto a secluded balcony overlooking the estate, it enjoys uninterrupted views across the woodland, pasture and water beyond. Twin walk-in dressing rooms, an exquisite spa-inspired bathroom and elegant vanity dressing areas create a suite that feels more akin to an exclusive five-star private retreat than a country home, while the beautifully flowing circular layout allows each space to transition seamlessly into the next. Every additional bedroom has been finished to the same exacting standard, each with its own luxurious en-suite and dressing facilities, ensuring family and guests enjoy the same exceptional level of comfort and privacy.

Beyond the principal residence, the estate continues to reveal its many surprises. Beautiful private pathways meander through the woodland and grounds, offering complete privacy for peaceful walks, exercising your dogs and your horses, and simply enjoying the tranquillity.

Every aspect of Craigshannoch Lodge has been carefully considered, from the beautifully proportioned living spaces and expansive entertaining areas to the seamless connection between the interior and the spectacular landscape beyond. Floor-to-ceiling glazing allows natural light to flood the home while framing magnificent views from virtually every room. The property is south-facing and features a Sonos system throughout the house and into the BBQ area. It offers stunning views of the Bennachie mountain range and is conveniently located near the start of the whisky trail. Additionally, it is equipped with CCTV and an intelligent, remotely controlled lighting system.
The estate also benefits from an impressive renewable energy setup, with 24 solar panels cleverly positioned away from the property itself, complemented by three Tesla batteries for efficient energy storage.

Accessibility is equally impressive. Aberdeen Airport provides excellent national and international connections, while a nearby private airstrip offers exceptional convenience for private aviation, making the estate as practical as it is private for both UK and international buyers.

Yet perhaps what makes Craigshannoch Lodge truly exceptional is something that cannot be measured by acreage, architecture or specification alone. It is the overwhelming feeling of calm that arrives the moment the gates close behind you. A place where the outside world simply fades away, replaced by complete privacy, breathtaking natural beauty and an effortless sense of wellbeing.
