>£4.4m Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Corsindae Estate is For Sale
Corsindae Estate, Inverurie, Scotland is a castle-like property centred on a 15th Century Tower House – For Sale with Savills.
Our Description:
Corsindae Estate is a secluded and picturesque holding in the heart of Aberdeenshire’s Donside, centred on a 15th-century tower house and framed by the dramatic northern backdrop of Bennachie and its iconic peak, Mither Tap. Extending to around 1,080 acres, the estate combines residential, farming, forestry, sporting, and natural capital assets, with exciting potential for the redevelopment of several redundant buildings for residential or commercial use.
At its heart lies Corsindae House, a cherished family home, approached by a sweeping drive through mature woodland. The estate also encompasses a number of cottages and farmhouses, including Corsindae Cottage, Home Farm Cottage, and Milton Burn Farmhouse, together with a disused range of agricultural buildings. South Milton, on the northern edge of the estate, includes a redundant grain store that already benefits from full planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom home.
The landscape of the estate is varied, ranging from gently undulating lowlands to steeper hills between 105 and 195 metres above sea level. The land includes 216 acres of arable fields, 355 acres of pasture, and 62 acres of rough grazing, with a further 369 acres of seasonal grazing let out. Around 400 acres are managed as amenity woodland and commercial plantations. Scenic mown paths weave through the parkland and woodlands, offering tranquil walking routes around the loch and along the Milton Burn. A particularly enchanting feature, known as “The Jungle,” is planted with mixed broadleaf trees, wild roses, hawthorn, and willow, threaded with winding paths, a pond, and a meandering stream.
Sporting rights are held in-hand and included in the sale, while additional assets – Corrennie Hill (55 acres) and 2.5 miles of single-bank fishing on the River Don – are available by separate negotiation. The estate benefits from a prime position within the Donside countryside, close to the villages of Sauchen and Midmar, and equidistant from Banchory and Inverurie, both thriving towns with full amenities. Aberdeen International Airport lies just 16 miles away, with excellent road, rail, and air connections, while the wider area offers world-class fishing on the Rivers Don and Dee, prestigious golf courses, winter sports, whisky trails, and over 260 castles to explore.
