Alton Farm, Carron, Aberlour, Moray, AB38

Alton Farm is a traditional five-bedroom farmhouse set in a secluded position in Speyside, with farmland, woodland and views across Strathspey towards Ben Rinnes. The property includes approximately 178.4 acres of land and a range of farm buildings. Aberlour and Craigellachie are both within around seven miles, while Elgin is approximately 19 miles away. The surrounding area offers access to the River Spey, the Speyside Way, golf courses and other outdoor activities. The stone-and-slate farmhouse is believed to date from the 19th century and was extended in 1993. Its accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a kitchen, dining and utility area, sitting room, family room, separate dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs are four further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a second bathroom and a box room or office. Heating is provided by an air source heat pump, with solar panels supplementing the mains electricity and an LPG boiler as backup. Wood burners are fitted in the sitting room and family room. The outbuildings include a converted stone bothy, a steading with an office or games room and additional byres and stores, a wooden storage shed, a general-purpose shed and a workshop or garage. The listing states that planning permission was granted in January 2022 to convert part of the steading and the site of a demolished stable into a two-bedroom cottage. It also identifies possible development potential in parts of the steading and Old Mill, subject to the necessary consents. The land includes productive fields and areas of rough grazing. The property is offered for private treaty sale.
