Low and Partners is excited to showcase Upper Mains of Rosieburn, Alvah, Banff — an exceptional opportunity comprising approximately seven acres, nine agricultural buildings and a brand new architect designed three bedroom, two bathroom home. This remarkable property offers a rare blend of rural privacy, modern efficiency and outstanding potential for future development, business use or lifestyle expansion. Fully consented Planning Approval and Building Warrant are in place, with the build inspected and signed off at each stage by the architect. A final completion certificate will be provided, ensuring full compliance for mortgage purposes and Local Authority requirements.

The newly built home meets the latest energy efficiency standards, incorporating solar PV panels, an Air Source Heat Pump, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and appropriately sized ASHP radiators upstairs. A modern wood burning stove sits beautifully between the open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area, adding warmth and character. An EV charge point is installed, and extensive parking is available around the stead, both within and outside the buildings.

The entrance is bright and welcoming, with stairs leading to the upper level and partially glazed pocket doors opening into the impressive L shaped lounge, dining and kitchen space. A cupboard houses the underfloor heating manifolds. The open plan living area is flooded with natural light from dual aspect windows and two sets of patio sliding doors that open onto the surrounding patio areas. Every window and door frames wonderful views across the land. The stove creates a cosy focal point, while the kitchen offers stylish wall and base cabinetry with grey work surfaces, integrated dishwasher, oven, hob and extractor fan. Grey flooring and modern lighting complete the space.

The utility room is generously sized, with space for appliances, a window overlooking the front and a deep double cupboard housing the solar unit, heat store for the ASHP . A great sized downstairs bedroom features two windows allowing ample light, along with modern flooring and lighting. The shower room includes a wash hand basin, toilet, shower, heated radiator, tiled floor and panelled wet wall.

Upstairs, the hallway is a bright and versatile space, ideal as an office or reading area. A Velux window, radiator, lighting and storage cupboard enhance the area. The main bedroom is exceptionally large, with a double wardrobe, dual aspect Velux windows and two additional windows, creating a beautifully light and airy room. Bedroom three mirrors the size and feel of bedroom two, offering another spacious and comfortable room with lighting and radiators. The upstairs bathroom includes a bath with shower mixer, walk in shower, toilet, wash hand basin, heated towel rail, radiator, flooring and a large Velux window.

Beyond the house, the property’s outbuildings offer extraordinary potential. The nine structures include original stone and slate buildings that, with vision and appropriate consents, could be transformed into further accommodation, business premises, storage, offices or recreational spaces. A very large covered barn has previously been used as a horse arena and for dog agility training, lending itself to multiple uses. Additional stock sheds and stabling sit adjacent to the paddock, with land extending towards the Rosieburn riverbank. The Braes, running along the burn, provide useful grazing and a pleasant natural area.

The appeal of Upper Mains of Rosieburn is further enhanced by its privacy, accessed via a quiet minor road and a private 200 metre track. There are no public footpaths or bridleways crossing the land. Full access rights are in place, with only a limited right to pass and repass for the neighbouring farmer — this does not extend into the main house or farm building areas.

The property benefits from mains electricity with a smart meter, a private spring fed water supply with filtration system meeting all consent requirements, and new underground drainage and wastewater treatment.

Upper Mains of Rosieburn is a standout rural holding offering modern living, extensive land, huge potential and complete privacy — a rare opportunity in the Banff area for those seeking a lifestyle property with scope to grow, develop or simply enjoy the peace of the countryside.
