Property overview

Surrounded by mature woodland, the site benefits from private access off the A93 (North Deeside Road) and it comprises a fenced paddock, a fenced wooden stable block with concrete yard, a generously proportioned barn with a large, secured workshop and hay store, an orchard, raised beds, a static caravan and a wooden shed.

There is planning permission for the development of part of the area for the erection of a detached four/five-bedroom dwelllinghouse with separate double garage. Planning details can be viewed via Aberdeenshire Council Planning Department website under Planning Applications reference number APP/2022/2281. 

The seller has advised that all existing structures include power and light.  Plans for mains water and fibre telecommunications have been established.  The installation of these, along with drainage to a private septic tank and any further electrical connections will be the Purchaser’s responsibility.

Location

The area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts and is particularly attractive to walkers and cyclists with the Deeside Way passing through Aboyne and its close proximity to Glen Tanar Estate and the Cairngorms National Park. The ski centres of Glenshee and the Lecht are within a short travelling distance, making winter sports easily accessible. There is an 18 hole golf course in Aboyne, and a nearby gliding club. During the summer in addition to the Aboyne Games there are the popular Highland Games in nearby Ballater and Braemar, while the Lonach Gathering takes place in Strathdon every August. Aberdeenshire is renowned for its clean air and quality of life with fragrant pinewoods, open moorland, traditional farming and good old Highland hospitality. Fishing and field sports are also popular and widely available in the vicinity.

The nearby picturesque Deeside village of Aboyne holds an enviable position in the beautiful Dee Valley and has a good range of shops, primary and secondary schooling and leisure facilities including an active theatre and community centre. With the Aberdeen Bypass providing a fast link to the north and south of the city travelling times from Dess to Dyce Airport, Westhill and Stonehaven have been significantly reduced making this area an even more attractive proposition for commuters.
