Nestled in a tranquil setting just outside the village of Moniaive, Barbuie Estate offers a unique opportunity for restoration and development. This Georgian Category C listed farmhouse, dating back to the mid-18th century, is surrounded by scenic countryside and features a range of outbuildings that open the door to numerous renovation possibilities. The estate includes extensive grounds with established gardens, wooded areas, and even a charming pond, creating an idyllic backdrop for family living or investment ventures.
The main house has seen recent updates, including rewiring but still retains character with its well-proportioned rooms and period details. An impressive flexible layout includes multiple reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining area equipped with solid wood units and an electric Aga, along with several bedrooms across multiple levels. However, there remains ample scope to personalize further and optimize the space.
Additionally, the estate features several outbuildings including workshops and storage areas that could be repurposed for various uses such as guest accommodation or home offices (subject to planning consent). A semi-derelict cottage on-site presents potential for redevelopment into a charming off-grid home or rental unit. Outside amenities include parking spaces and easy access to outdoor activities like hill walking and mountain biking.
Barbuie isn’t just a property; it’s an investment in lifestyle with possibilities for enhanced renewable energy schemes already in place generating income. This provides not only sustainability but also significant cost savings on utility bills. With planning potential for additional residential units or agricultural projects, this estate is ideal for those seeking to make their mark in a picturesque rural setting while enjoying proximity to local amenities and good transport links.
