Logie is a highly attractive estate featuring an exceptional principal house with beautiful gardens at its core. The vision of local businessman, the late WH (Bill) Bruce and his wife Margaret, to create an estate accessible to Aberdeen on which to enjoy the merits of countryside living, the original smallholding of Ladymire was added to over a period of 50 years as adjoining properties and land became available to become Logie Estate. A passion for horse riding and field sports and a keen eye for breeding pedigree livestock, moulded and influenced the Logie of today with its rich, well fenced pastures, strategically positioned mixed woodland compartments and specialised yet versatile farm buildings suitable for a wide range of uses. Additional properties were incorporated across the estate to provide housing for employees or useful income from long term lets.

The late Mr and Mrs Bruce were keen gardeners and supporters of the arts. Their influence is much in evidence and of particular note is the Millennium Cairn created by the world renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy which was commissioned by Bill and Margaret. The Cairn is in two distinct halves with the separation gap directly aligned east to west, with half being constructed in the 20th century and the other half in the 21st century.

The River Ythan, which forms the northern boundary and continues downstream through the Forvie National Nature Reserve to the east, is a magnet for migratory birdlife. The diversity of habitats along the riverbanks and across the estate are a haven for a wide variety of birdlife, wildlife, flora and fauna. Across the estate there are many well positioned spots from which to peacefully immerse oneself and enjoy nature close-up.

The estate is screened and bounded to the west by the A90 which by-passes Ellon and affords ready access into Aberdeen and north to Peterhead. To the east lies the small hamlet of Kirkton of Logie Buchan with its church and the Memorial Bridge (footbridge) over the meandering River Ythan.

The estate extends in total to about 224 acres, and comprises a well-balanced combination of arable and silage ground, permanent pasture and rough grazing, and woodlands providing shelter and amenity. The majority of the land is let on a seasonal basis and the farm at Ladymire is let separately to an established equestrian business in conjunction with a farmhouse and specialised equestrian facilities.
