The gently sloping secluded setting allows one to fully appreciate the spectacular Highland Perthshire scenery and the full array of colours with the passing of seasons. LOCATION The pretty Victorian town of Pitlochry is steeped in history and has become a popular recreational and tourist destination due to its spectacular scenery and accessibility from Central Scotland. Tomdachoille Farmhouse is located less than 2 miles from Pitlochry and on the outskirts of the hamlet of Dunfallandy. The property is conveniently located to take advantage of local services which provides quality independent shops, galleries, dentists, banks and numerous well-regarded places to eat. Primary schooling is available in both Pitlochry and Ballinluig, while the local high school is also in Pitlochry. Various highly regarded private schools are available within the wider Perthshire area including Morrisons Academy, Glenalmond College and Strathallan. A wider range of services and amenities including a hospital and larger supermarkets can be found in Perth, approximately 28 miles to the south.

Tomdachoille Farmhouse is less than 2 miles from the A9 which provides excellent transport links both north and south while the Pitlochry mainline railway station provides regular services to Inverness, Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as the Caledonian sleeper service to London.

Despite these convenient transport links, the relatively isolated nature of the property offers a rarely available degree of privacy in what is a highly sought-after area.

Tomdachoille Farmhouse is accessed by a 90-metre hardcore track suitable for most standard road vehicles. The track leads down to a private gate which then opens out to the west of the property.

SURROUNDING AREA

Perthshire is widely known as ‘Big Tree Country’ and beautiful walks can be found amongst the majestic Douglas fir and Scots pine forest at The Hermitage, less than two miles away. If you want to go slightly further afield, you might take a wander through the forests that border the Bruar Falls, one of Perthshire’s most famous beauty spots by Blair Atholl.

The Cairngorms National Park is a short drive north and is home to numerous Munros and diverse wildlife. Outdoor activities including fishing, stalking, mountain biking, canoeing and climbing can all be found locally, while in the winter, skiing can be enjoyed at Aviemore or Glenshee, both approximately one hours' drive away.

Culturally the area also has a vibrant arts scene with the internationally acclaimed Pitlochry Festival Theatre, known as Scotland's 'Theatre in the Hills’ which has a busy calendar of theatrical performances and other events throughout the year and is just a short walk away, less than 2 miles from Tomdachoille Farmhouse. Pitlochry is renowned not only for the festival theatre, but the Hydro Dam and the salmon ladder are also popular attractions. Further south, the Birnam Arts Centre also boasts a burgeoning reputation offering a diverse programme of high-quality performances in music, theatre, dance and comedy as well as a wide range of workshops and activities.

For the golfer there are some fine courses available within relatively short distances, including Pitlochry golf course which boasts fantastic views of the surrounding countryside as well as the Dunkeld and Birnam golf course positioned within a glorious woodland setting further south. Further north, Blair Atholl also has a golf course as well as the exceptional Blair Castle and Gardens. The House of Bruar, thought of as one of Scotland’s most prestigious independent shopping experiences, is located just over 20 minutes’ drive from Tomdachoille Farmhouse, and provides a wide selection of country clothing and a famous food hall and delicatessen. Nearby Dunkeld offers a wide range of walks for all abilities, including Birnam Hill, The Hermitage and various walks along the famous River Tay.

For the country sports enthusiast, day tickets for salmon and sea trout fishing are available on the Rivers Tay, Tilt, Tummel, Lyon, Almond and Earn, to name just a few, while field sports might similarly be taken on local estates.

Kitchen (4.40m x 3.60m)

GARDEN AND LAND

The property benefits from a generous enclosed garden which surrounds the property. The garden is partially laid to lawn complementing a range of well-maintained mature shrubs and herbaceous borders. Additionally, there is a charming small established fruit orchard near the access track. This sheltered and bright garden will provide a varied habitat and shelter for a diverse wildlife. The garden is a short walk to the River Tummel where you can enjoy the stunning views across the Tummel valley towards Ben-y-Vrackie which sits above Pitlochry.

The enclosed garden extends to approximately 0.13 acres, just beyond this sits a small concrete block construction under a timber framed corrugated iron roof which could be brought back into serviceable condition and repurposed as a potting shed or for storage of garden equipment.

In addition, there is approximately 0.86 acres of north facing hillside leading down towards the River Tummel predominantly planted in mature broadleaves. This area may benefit from thinning which would allow one to enjoy an unobstructed view of the river.

SERVICES

Tomdachoille Farmhouse benefits from partial double glazing while heating is provided by an oil-fired wet system. There is mains electricity and telephone service, the water supply is from a private source originating from elsewhere on the Estate and drainage is by way of a private septic tank.

It is intended that the purchaser would take ownership of the private access track coloured pink on the plan leading towards the property. However, ownership of the section coloured blue would remain with the Estate with full access rights being granted and maintenance costs being shared on a user basis with the neighbouring proprietors and other authorised users.
