A house that comes with 3,500 acres of Loch Lomond National Park
This superb estate in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park has huge potential, yet is also a perfect family home from which to escape the world.
The location of Stuckendroin feels like the sort of place you'd have to travel for hours to find: wild, beautiful, impossibly romantic.
Yet this glorious property, which is presently for sale via Strutt & Parker at £3 million, is only a 48-mile drive from Glasgow.
Your £3m buys a vast amount of land, set in the wilds of the Trossachs National Park with 2¾ miles of frontage onto romantic Loch Lomond.
The estate comprises 3,511 acres of in-bye pasture and paddocks, rough grazings, woodland and open moorland, plus the main farmhouse.
There is also a cottage and agricultural buildings, including a game larder — the owners operate a deerstalking business and culling programme alongside sheep farming. And here are some sheep to prove it.
The three-bedroom, modernised farmhouse has a biomass system, which generates an annual income of £2,000–£3,000 through the Renewable Heat Incentive. Not enough to live on, but a nice little bonus.
The main draw, though, is the chance to live in a simply wonderful part of Britain.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Many beautiful homes around the country in recent years have ended up being rented out as Air BnBs and the like. But not Stuckendroin: the owners have very much been occupiers too, and it's not hard to see why.
For sale via Strutt & Parker at £3m. See more details and pictures.
What else you could get
A magnificent lakeside property that has been a private home, a boutique hotel and, more recently, a hugely popular wedding venue.
What the new owner does with it will be fascinating to see, for with a location this wonderful your imagination can run riot.
