Ballintuim, Blairgowrie, Perthshire

A beautiful and substantial traditional farmhouse nestling in the rolling hills of the Perthshire countryside rests in the romantic glen of Strathardle just a stones throw from the snow fields of Glenshee and over the hills to Braemar and on to the Highlands.

This meticulously maintained farmhouse is set in a southerly aspect and is surrounded by lovely cottage gardens, offering pockets of solace with stunning views from every aspect.

The driveway running up the hill beside the little stream enters the gated property from the rear offering a garage and space to park several cars with two sheds and a garden office, just ideal to write that novel you’ve always dreamed of…..well perhaps.
