The details

Nestled on the southern edge of the magnificent Cairngorms National Park, Larch House is a striking architect-designed eco-retreat that combines contemporary luxury with Scotland's spectacular natural beauty. Completed in 2025 to an exceptional standard, this stylish home offers mountain views, woodland surroundings, a bubbling wood-fired hot tub, a relaxing sauna and even private access to the Shee Water for invigorating wild swims.

Wrapped in warm Scottish larch and framed by generous picture windows, roof lights and glazed doors, the house is designed to make the most of its remarkable setting. Wherever you are, you'll find yourself drawn to the ever-changing views of rolling hills, towering trees and flowing water. Whether you're gathering with family or escaping with friends, Larch House provides a wonderful base from which to enjoy the best of the Scottish Highlands.

At the heart of the home is a vast open-plan living space where cooking, dining and relaxing come together effortlessly. The sleek modern kitchen is fully equipped for everything from hearty breakfasts before a day on the slopes to long evening feasts shared around the dining table. Nearby, comfortable seating surrounds a wood burning stove, creating a cosy atmosphere after outdoor adventures. Large windows flood the space with natural light while showcasing the surrounding scenery.

For movie nights, the dedicated cinema room offers a fun retreat complete with bean bag seating and a large Smart TV. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of a heated boot room, ideal after winter walks or ski trips, along with a separate laundry room and underfloor heating throughout.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for up to six guests. Each room can be configured as either a super-king size bed or twin singles, making the house equally suited to families, couples or groups of friends. The ground floor bedroom benefits from a luxurious ensuite with bath and double shower, while the two upstairs bedrooms each enjoy their own bathroom facilities. A spacious landing doubles as a second sitting area and quiet workspace.

Outside, the magic continues. Soak in the wood-fired hot tub beneath vast Scottish skies, gather around the firepit with a warming drink or dine alfresco on the terrace overlooking the landscape. A viewing platform offers a wonderful place to pause and admire the scenery, while steps lead down to the Shee Water where you can paddle, swim or simply sit beside the flowing burn and enjoy the peace.

The surrounding area is packed with adventure. Glenshee Ski Resort is just 20 minutes away, offering excellent skiing and snowboarding in winter. Blairgowrie provides kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing and fishing opportunities, while nearby Pitlochry offers whisky distilleries, scenic walks and renowned attractions including the Fish Ladder. With endless hiking, wildlife watching, fine dining and outdoor pursuits on your doorstep, Larch House is perfectly placed for an unforgettable Scottish escape.
