Aberchalder and Glengarry is a Highland estate extending to approximately 7,600 hectares, or 18,780 acres, in the Great Glen. The holding combines in-bye pasture and arable land, extensive hill grazing, woodland, lochs and parts of the solums of Lochs Oich, Garry and Lochy. The land ranges from around 35 metres above sea level beside the canal and River Oich to approximately 815 metres at Carn Dearg. The estate also includes residential properties, farm buildings and mountain bothies. The agricultural ground includes ploughable and permanent pasture, with much of the remaining area comprising rough hill grazing. Forestry is principally amenity, shelter planting and native woodland, including two parcels of Scots pine and broadleaf planting established in 2017. Leac Farm, approximately 1,561 hectares, is held under a secure agricultural tenancy, and the tenant has registered a right to buy. Other in-bye land is let on seasonal grazing arrangements. The estate has existing renewable income streams, including two hydro schemes. A separate area has been identified for potential compensatory planting under a 25-year lease option with SSE; the option has been exercised only to the extent described in the particulars, and further payments and rent depend on the option being taken forward. Buyers should review the full sale particulars and tenancy, renewable and access documentation to understand the estate's interests and obligations. The property lies about four miles south of Fort Augustus, with Invergarry nearby and Inverness approximately 39 miles away. The Great Glen Way passes through the estate, and the surrounding area offers access to walking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. The sale presents a large, mixed rural holding with land, residential and renewable elements, requiring specialist due diligence on its varied assets, tenancies and income arrangements.
