Exceptional woodland residence in the heart of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire biosphere

Nestled in the UNESCO recognised Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere, the property enjoys views over the Fleet Valley National Scenic Area.

Marion Currie, handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith, said: “High Trees offers a rare blend of space, style and seclusion in one of Dumfries and Galloway’s most sought-after residential settings.

“Properties like this, with such extensive grounds and rich natural surroundings, are few and far between and High Trees really is an ideal opportunity for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle without compromising on comfort or connectivity.”

The four bedroom property has been thoughtfully extended from its original design to provide a bright and versatile layout, ideal for relaxed family life and entertaining.

An open plan living, kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home featuring picture windows and patio doors that frame the garden and woodland views.

A separate dining room and sitting room – each with woodburning stoves and access to the rear garden – offer both comfort and style.

Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous study area and ample storage throughout.

A garage with power and lighting sits beneath the house, complemented by two driveways, a turning circle and plenty space for parking.

The extensive gardens are a highlight of the property, with sweeping lawns, colourful borders and a remarkable array of specimen trees including eucalyptus – once the tallest collection in Scotland.

There is a large patio which provides a tranquil vantage point to enjoy the privacy, peace and abundant wildlife that are regularly seen in the grounds including deer, red squirrels and a myriad of birds.

Gatehouse of Fleet has a good range of local facilities. Further amenities can also be found in the nearby harbour town of Kirkcudbright, known as Scotland’s Artists’ Town, and Castle Douglas, known as the region’s food town.

The region is also famed for its outdoor sporting opportunities including mountain biking, fishing, shooting, golf and equestrian. There are also nearby sandy, picturesque beaches.

Communications to the area are good with motorway connections north and south available at Moffat, Lockerbie and Gretna. Mainline train stations are in Lockerbie and Dumfries whilst Glasgow and Edinburgh airports are each around two hours by car.
