About this property

  • Drumcharry Farm, with planning permission for a house, is a rare opportunity to build a dream home in one of the most sought-after areas in Perthshire. Its 58 acres provide peace, privacy and the potential to pursue a range of interests and hobbies against the backdrop of some breath-taking scenery. The property is ideal for buyers interested in a productive garden, energy efficiency, livestock, trees, bees, bio-diversity and wildflowers, or who simply desire an incredibly private second home which is low maintenance and easy to lock up and leave.

    Detailed planning permission has been approved (21/00777/AML) for the construction of a two storey, four-bedroom house designed by the Taylor Architecture Practice Ltd. The house is meant to blend subtly into its landscape while making the best of its spectacular views. Located on the southern edge of a flat area of land on the hillside, the plans position the house at a perpendicular angle to the existing shed, creating a sheltered courtyard at its entrance. The proposed house would be clad in a mixture of zinc tiles and Siberian larch with a living roof which blends into the hillside.

    Outside
    The house site at Drumcharry Farm is approached by a grass track which winds up the hillside until it reaches a plateau where there is an agricultural shed and a grassed house site. From here there is a stunning view over the River Lyon to the Tay valley. Sheep graze the surrounding land which has been partially divided up with new fencing. Birds of prey soar high above and deer are regular visitors. Tracks across the 58 acres make it accessible using an all-terrain vehicle. The ground has been maintained with biodiversity in mind. A hedge of hawthorn, hazel and blackthorn as well as a traditionally built drystone dyke form attractive boundaries to the potential garden area. A programme of native tree planting has also taken place over the last nine years.

    Steel framed agricultural shed (9m x 18m)

The peace, privacy and proximity to nature is magical.

Local information

  • Drumcharry Farm house site is situated on the hillside between Fortingall and Keltneyburn. It has the most wonderfully secluded location and a far-reaching view over the River Lyon towards the Tay Valley. However, amenities are not far away in Aberfeldy (7 miles) where there are a selection of independent shops, art galleries, cafés, restaurants and a cinema. The town also has legal and medical practices as well as the Breadalbane Academy which provides primary and secondary schooling and leisure facilities available to all on its community campus.
  • The house site at Drumcharry Farm is perfectly placed for enjoying the outdoors. Several well-known beauty spots are within easy reach including Tay Forest Park, Glen Lyon, Fortingall village, Loch Tay and the Falls of Dochart at Killin. Schiehallion and Ben Lawers are two local Munros that are popular with walkers. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers with the rapids at Grandtully being popular for canoeing and rafting. There are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Strathtay, Kenmore and Pitlochry, and any number of beautiful walking and cycling tracks can be explored in the area. Fishing, shooting and stalking can all be taken on local estates.
  • Drumcharry has all the benefits of a highland location, while remaining very accessible. Perth is only 38 miles south via the A9, while Edinburgh and Glasgow are both within about 83 miles. Pitlochry railway station (22 miles) also has direct links to Inverness and London.
