Description

This three-bedroom farmhouse, nestled in a secluded and tranquil setting between Auchnagatt and Ellon, presents an excellent opportunity for those interested in a renovation project with substantial investment potential. The property is positioned at the end of a private track in the picturesque countryside of eastern Aberdeenshire, offering both privacy and scenic views over the surrounding farmland. The proximity to local amenities enhances the appeal of this location. Auchnagatt, located less than three miles away, features a primary school, while Ellon, approximately six miles to the south, boasts a wider range of services including secondary education, supermarkets, restaurants, and recreational facilities. The area is steeped in natural beauty and offers ample outdoor activities; the Buchan and Formartine Way provides an inviting route for walking, cycling, and trail riding just one mile from your doorstep. Additionally, Aden and Haddo Country Parks are nearby for further leisure pursuits. The farmhouse itself covers 78 square meters and showcases traditional stone and slate construction. While it requires complete renovation to modernize its interiors, this blank canvas allows potential buyers to design a home that meets their specific vision. The layout includes a living room with a wood-burning stove upon entry, a spacious kitchen adjacent to it, as well as a bathroom equipped with both a bath and shower. A third bedroom is conveniently located on the ground floor. Upstairs features two additional bedrooms that benefit from ample natural light thanks to their south-facing orientation. Externally, the property sits on approximately 0.9 acres and includes various agricultural outbuildings—though many are in need of repair or demolition. This space could be transformed for multiple uses or developed further, presenting numerous possibilities for enhancement or conversion given the scenic surroundings. Investors will appreciate this property's unique potential within a peaceful yet accessible locale. With Aberdeen’s comprehensive amenities just a short drive away—alongside robust transport connections—the farmhouse at Backhill of Auquhadlie serves as an ideal canvas for those looking to invest in rural development while enjoying the charm of Aberdeenshire's countryside.
