Situated in a private and secluded setting within the renowned Great Glen, this estate forms part of the wider Aberchalder Estate, just four miles south of Fort Augustus and 39 miles from Inverness.

Glen Buck Estate offers a stunning mix of natural beauty, sustainable income potential and significant further renewable and natural capital opportunities.

Rod Christie, who is handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith, said: “At the heart of the Great Glen, Glen Buck Estate offers buyers enormous diversity through a wealth of residential, sporting, natural capital and renewable interests.

“It will likely appeal to buyers from across the globe with private buyers, institutions and investors all able to find a specific point of interest.

“With high hills, ancient woodland, open moorland and good quality farmland, Glen Buck represents the best of the Highlands and enjoys access to, and a spectacular outlook over, Loch Oich.”

With frontage onto the Caledonian Canal and incorporating a stretch of picturesque Loch Oich, the estate’s breathtaking setting includes expansive low ground, upland terrain, and hill grazing rising to over 800 metres at Carn Dearg.

The diverse landholding, extending to approximately 8,906 acres, benefits from a broad range of land uses, including established native woodlands, productive hill grazing and significant amenity land. A key feature is the leased Glen Buck Hydro Scheme, commissioned in 2015, which provides an attractive, indexed rental income via a long term agreement running until 2065.

Natural capital opportunities abound, including peatland restoration potential and extensive native woodland creation, supported by existing compensatory planting arrangements with further grant-backed establishment and maintenance payments possible.

The estate lies within the ‘Electric Glen’, an area known for high wind yield and energy infrastructure, offering substantial potential for renewable energy development. The estate has been identified as a potential location for wind energy development and currently benefits from an exclusivity agreement with a renewables developer.

Accommodation on the estate includes two charming residential properties: Leiter Fearn Farmhouse, a traditional four bedroom Highland home with views over Loch Oich and the two bedroom Calderburn Cottage, both currently operating as successful holiday lets.

In addition, there are two bothies on the estate – one managed by the Mountain Bothies Association – which offer heritage charm with potential for future development.   There are also a range of outbuildings on the estate.

The in-bye farm land lies primarily around the banks of Loch Oich and comprises a mix of ploughable and permanent pasture.  Red, roe and sika deer stalking is well-established across both open hill and forestry blocks and the estate’s sporting appeal could be further developed.

Glen Buck Estate presents a compelling combination of beauty, scale, income and potential. It is a rare opportunity to acquire a special property in the Scottish Highlands, ideal for private enjoyment, sustainable management and investment in Scotland’s natural capital future.
