* Superb country estate with circa 62 acres

* Established shooting estate
Little Buinach is a unique, small sporting estate of circa 62 acres, nestled
in the midst of whisky country with rolling hills, fast flowing rivers,
fertile farmland, white beaches and stunning coastlines.
The spacious 5 - bedroom home, extended from the original stone cottage, sits in
an elevated position in the centre of the property with established lines of
trees radiating out from the house to create large, sheltered paddocks in all
directions. The views from the house are stunning at all times of year, with
lush greenery in the spring and stunning changes of colour in the autumn, a
picture from every window. Wildlife abounds with deer, pheasants, red
squirrels, pine martins, badgers, hawks and a multitude of birds making their
home in this secluded, tranquil environment. With four reception areas, the
house has been designed to suit a large family or to accommodate entertaining.
Two large outbuildings complete the picture.
Currently used as a luxury country residence with superb sporting
opportunities the property has pheasant pens, a duck pond and ample trees.
Over the past 30 years, Little Buinach might be considered the most successful
small shoot in Morayshire, with driven days ranging from 25 to 75 birds.
Although the current owner has done little roe stalking in recent years, the
property has previously produced between 12 and 14 roe each year.
Equally suitable for a high - end equestrian facility the sloping fields are
well - draining and offer superb grazing, with trees offering shelter to every
field. Toward the front of the property the fields are level and could be
suitable for external or covered arenas. Hacking is available directly from
the property up into the adjacent forest, or just a short trailer ride to the
outstanding white beaches at Roseisle. Although Moray is truly horse - heaven
with a number of competition venues, there are very few yards in the vicinity
that have the potential that Little Buinach could offer.
With a temperate climate, the Moray Coast is a haven for outdoor sports;
sailing, horse riding, hillwalking, skiing and cycling. The air is clean, and
the northern lights are a frequent occurrence.
