A captivating Scottish retreat nestled by the lochside in Perthshire, known as the Carie Estate offers a romantic escape.
Scottish Estate's Historic Charm and Modern Upgrades Remain a Mystery
Nestled on the shores of Loch Rannoch, the Carie Estate, a 58-acre property surrounding Carie House, boasts a rich history and stunning beauty. The estate, once owned by Clan Robertson of Struan, who supported Bonnie Prince Charlie, has undergone a significant transformation in recent years.
Carie House, the estate's main residence, was rebuilt by its present owners. The original Carie House was destroyed by fire in the early 20th century, and the current structure was created by joining together remaining cottages and the drawing room of the original property. The present owners added a bow front and a library wing, creating the elegant Carie House that stands today.
The house offers accommodation over two floors, with the main reception rooms on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rooms have elegant proportions, and the house now offers stunning views and absolute privacy, standing on a promontory overlooking its own lawns, woodlands, and the loch.
The estate's steadings, stone-built under a slate roof and forming an L-shape, include a workshop, a billiard room, and a separate hay barn. The walled garden lies in the centre of the steadings' courtyard. A small conservatory entrance hall was inserted between the house and Morag's Cottage, a charming addition that provides sitting room, dining room, fitted kitchen with loch views, two double bedrooms, and an upper galleried sitting room.
Carie House also enjoys riparian rights to fish for trout and to launch a boat on Loch Rannoch. The two cottages on the estate bring in an average income of £40,000 a year and are rated 5* by Visit Scotland.
Despite its transformation, the status of the Carie Estate after 2010 remains unclear. Sources do not provide specific or up-to-date information regarding the estate's ownership, renovations, or amenities since its last sale in 2010. Further detailed local records or property-specific databases would be needed to provide an accurate status update.
Intriguingly, the Carie Estate was previously estimated to be worth £4 million by Omaze. However, the current ownership and any renovations undertaken since 2010 remain a mystery. The estate's charm and history continue to draw visitors, but the secrets of its recent past and present-day state remain shrouded in mystery.
Outdoor living can be experienced on the expansive lawns and woodlands of the Carie Estate, appealing to those who enjoy a rural lifestyle. A modern addition to the estate is the charming Morag's Cottage, equipped with a fitted kitchen, offering a home-and-garden atmosphere for travelers seeking a cozy retreat. The opportunity to fish for trout and launch a boat on Loch Rannoch encourages visitors to explore this historic property, despite the mystery surrounding its recent ownership and renovations.
