SITUATIONSitting in a dramatic, south-facing position overlooking the Strathearn Valley, Blairmore Farm lies in a highly sought-after Perthshire tourist location off the A85 Perth to Crianlarich road to the east of the market town of Crieff. Blairmore Farm is an established and popular tourist base from which to explore HighlandPerthshire and the countryside of central Scotland with an enviable range of nearby attractions and leisure activities combined with fantastic connectivity with the trunk road network. It is notable that all of Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Gleneagles, Loch Lomond, the Cairngorms, Glenshee Ski Centre and the House of Bruar are within a 90 minute car journey. This gives Blairmore Farm such an important edge as the home of a short-term-let business, with the ability to attract customers from far and wide, all year round.THE OPPORTUNITYBlairmore Farm comprises a well-appointed principal owner’s house that sits within about 60 acres of south facing, productive farmland with six holiday cottages which have been impressively converted from traditional farm buildings between 2015-2018. These composite parts of Blairmore Farm combine to form an extremely attractive lifestyle property that will enable a new owner to live and work in an incredibly desirable location. The Blairmore Cottages are already recognised as being able to host a leading holiday accommodation enterprise but there is also the exciting opportunity to build a new business that will take Blairmore Farm into its next chapter under new ownership and management.BLAIRMORE FARMHOUSELying at the centre of the farm and orientated to provide exceptional South-facing views over the Strathearn Valley, Blairmore Farmhouse is an attractive, stone-built, principal dwelling house. The house was formerly two semi-detached cottages that were knocked through and renovated in 2016-2017 to form the existing accommodation which is centred around a large open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room that is perfect for modern entertaining and suits a relaxed, contemporary lifestyle. To the rear of the property is an office, commercial grade kitchen and laundry that are capable of administering the administrative, catering and laundry requirements of the existing short-term let business. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and dressing room, two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a further two bedrooms with a ‘jack and jill’ family bathroom. There is a compact lawn garden to the front of the property.BLAIRMORE HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATIONNestled at the bottom of the hill and surrounded by open countryside, the Blairmore Cottages are found within a substantial stone-built steading conversion which has been beautifully renovated to form 5-star holiday accommodation whilst retaining its identity as a fine example of local agricultural architecture. The 6 holiday cottages have been finished to an incredibly high standard with a considered layout that allows for efficient management practices whilst ensuring that each cottage retains its own identity, privacy and individual appeal.THE LANDThe land at Blairmore sits on the northern edge of the fertile Strathearn Valley and rises quite steeply to give some magnificent views at its northern extent. The land is all south facing and extends to about 59.98 acres (24.28 hectares) and is mostly down to grass however there is about 7 acres of mixed woodland which straddles the access road down to the farm. The land is predominantly productive Grade 3.1 land with some 3.2 and 4.2 areas towards the higher ground to the north. The fields are stock fenced throughout with good vehicular access and access to water in all but two paddocks. The land is of a scale which would offer any purchaser the opportunity to engage in a small-scale agricultural, equestrian or agri-tourism enterprise whilst providing plenty of space for the short-term-let business to diversify into pods, shepherds huts or other glamping accommodation, if desired and subject to gaining the necessary consents.
