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.
