Dundee Airport offers flights to and from London Stansted. Perth Airport at Scone can accommodate small private aeroplanes (runway 850m) whilst Dundee Airport caters for larger light aircraft. four DESCRIPTION Dalmunzie is a traditional sporting estate lying within the Cairngorms National Park and offering a diverse range of sport and outdoor leisure pursuits together with good quality farmland, woodlands and a successful holiday letting business. Unusually for a property of this type it has a contemporary principal residence which offers comfortable family and/or guest accommodation of a high quality. It stands in a commanding south facing location with outstanding views down the glen. The original lodge is now an hotel and in separate ownership.

Seven of the estate houses and cottages are currently let out to holidaymakers and provide useful annual income. They are very well equipped and furnished and attract significant repeat business. They range from the spacious Dower House, which sleeps eight, to the enchanting Lochsie Cottage, a romantic hideaway with an unusual and quirky open plan living room/bedroom and cosy open fireplace.

The sport at Dalmunzie is exciting and varied. The red deer stalking is challenging and produces an average of 35 stags and 26 hinds per annum. The ground is best suited to walked-up rather than driven grouse shooting. There is a good stock on the estate and an average of 192 brace has been shot over the past 5 years. Ptarmigan are found on the high tops, the highest point of the estate being the summit of Glas Tulaichean, a Munro standing 3448 feet above sea level. The lower ground provides excellent topography for the development of a driven pheasant and partridge shoot. About 8 roe bucks and 14 does are culled annually. Falconry is also popular and generates sporting and holiday cottage revenue.

The private nine hole golf course is an unusual asset for an estate. There are some spectacular challenging holes. The tennis court is situated close to the Dalmunzie Hotel.

The lower ground on the estate provides productive grazing for livestock. There are about 90 acres of in bye land and this, together with the hill grazings, is let on an annual grazing licence to a local farmer.

The woodlands comprise, in the main, three blocks of commercial timber planted between 1974 and 1979 and younger plantations of native species and conifer shelter belts.

The sport, the holiday cottages, the grazing land and the golf course are all serviced from the estate steading, which is situated at Glenlochsie Farm in the middle of the estate. These buildings include the game larder, laundry and extensive general storage.

Up until the 1970s the hill ground was accessed by a remarkable private railway, which connected the former Dalmunzie Lodge (now The Dalmunzie Hotel) with Glenlochsie Lodge, a ruin lying close to the centre of the hill ground. Powered by a petrol engined locomotive this railway provided a most unusual means of access to and from the hill for stalkers, deer, game and provisions. The engine and rolling stock, which are replicas of those used on the Western Front during the First World War, remain on the estate and are available for purchase at valuation.

five DUNGRUMPIN HOUSE Dungrumpin is a most striking contemporary house in a commanding position with outstanding views down the glen.

Designed by Roche & Darge Architects, Dungrumpin was completed in June 2005. It is constructed of a timber frame with harled and wood clad exterior under slated roofs.

Grouse shooting Much of the hill provides excellent habitat for grouse and there is a good stock on the ground which is best suited to walking up. There are six separate beats which have produced an average of 192 brace per annum over the past five years, with 291 brace in 2014. For the fit and energetic, ptarmigan on the high tops offer exciting sport.

Low ground sport The woodlands and the low ground are home to a resident population of roe deer which offer additional stalking throughout the year. In recent years a small number of pheasants have been released on the low ground. The combination of the topography and the plantations is ideal for showing birds of a high quality and there is significant potential to develop this activity.

Fishing The Shee Water, which forms part of the north eastern boundary of the estate, contains brown trout. The salmon fishing rights are not owned by the sellers. There is a small loch which is stocked with brown trout at the southern end of the estate.

The estate gamekeeper currently lives in Leanach Cottage which is situated at the south eastern end of the property. It is a single storey, traditional cottage with new double glazed porch, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.

THE GOLF COURSE This is an unusual asset for a sporting estate and offers family, guests and paying customers an interesting alternative to field sports. It is a nine hole course with a total length of 2099 yards.

There are a number of spectacular holes including the first tee sitting high above the Glenlochsie Burn over which the ball is driven. The course record is 29. The estate maintains the course.

ten eleven THE FARMLAND The best land lies on the west bank of the Shee Water at the eastern end of the estate. There are a number of well fenced enclosures which include about 90 acres of good quality permanent pasture. Historically a flock of 1,000 ewes was carried on the estate. However the farmland and the hill grazings have been let in recent years on an annual grazing licence. The current stocking is about 450 ewes and 100 suckler cows.

The in bye land and the hill grazings are designated as being in Payment Regions 1 & 2 for Basic Payment Scheme purposes. No Basic Payment Scheme Entitlement will be available for transfer to the buyer. The majority of the land is designated as being in the Less Favoured Area (category B) and therefore is eligible for subsidy claims under the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme.

THE WOODLANDS The woodlands on Dalmunzie comprise a valuable and attractive combination of mid to late rotation commercial timber and young native pine and broadleaf plantations.

A Forest Design Plan was prepared in 2013 which outlines the estate’s management objectives for the woodland until 2033. Copies are available from the selling agents.

There are three large blocks of mainly Sitka Spruce, the largest of which (compartment 1) is due for felling.

The native pine and broadleaf plantations are in the main well established and provide good habitat and shelter for wildlife.
