A sprawling Perthshire sporting estate that offers grouse shooting is on the market for offers of more than £4 million.
The 6,500 acre Dalmunzie Estate, near the Spittal of Glenshee, has a nine-hole golf course, a long established holiday cottage enterprise and replica First World War railway rolling stock.
Dalmunzie has a contemporary principal residence, Dungrumpin House, which commands views down the glen. It was completed in 2005 and has seven bedrooms.
Up until the 1970s, the hill ground was accessed by a 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, the railway provided a means of access to and from the hill for stalkers, deer, game and provisions.
The rolling stock, including a replica of that used on the Western Front during the First World War, remains on the estate and is available for purchase.
The successful new owners will be able to take over a holiday letting enterprise that has been run for 40 years.
Dalmunzie is being jointly marketed by Savills and CKD Galbraith.
“Dalmunzie is one of very few sporting estates to come on the market this year that offers grouse shooting and the only one in Perthshire,” said Jamie Wedderspoon, of Savills.
“There is a good grouse stock on the estate and an average of 192 brace has been shot over the past five years, with 291 brace in 2014. And there’s challenging red deer stalking with an average of about 35 stags shot annually over the last five years.
“The lower ground has great potential for the development of a driven pheasant and partridge shoot and about 25 roe deer are culled annually. There is also trout fishing on the Shee Water and a stocked loch.”
