Extended & modernised, Conalter is a fine family home boasting versatile outbuildings, including an office, bothy, stables and kennels, from which the owners run a very successful boarding business. Built in 1852 by Sir Patrick Murray, the 10th Baronet of Ochtertyre, Conalter bears a large stone plaque complete with initials & motto, along with an olive branch from the family crest.

The private grounds comprise a full length sun terrace to the front, overlooking a large lawn, with a sheltered seating/BBQ area. There is a further patio to the rear, with a charming stone-built 'bothy' store, ideal for further development. A small burn runs alongside the property, and there is a greenhouse, original stone pigsty, & ample parking. Adjacent lies a substantial timber outbuilding which includes an office, games room, stores, carport and stable blocks/kennels. Further along the access road there is a concrete purpose-built kennel block. The remainder of the grounds comprise heathland and woodland, and there are lovely walks direct from the property. The adjacent pasture land, owned by a neighbouring property, may be available to rent for equine use.

Conalter Kennels - The owners run a well-established, profitable dog boarding and day care business from the purpose-built kennel block and stables, which lie to the west of the main house. The main building complex comprises large office space, ample storage, car-port, tack room & stables. The main kennel block is a short walk along the road. Anyone operating the business could run it on a full or part-time basis, opening as many months in the year as they want. Further information on the business can be made available to serious parties.

A property rare to the market; a versatile family home, fully modernised yet retaining period charm, enjoying a private location but within easy reach of Strathearn's principle town. Likely to be a welcome addition to the market and early viewing is advised.
