Mill of Elrick Fish Farm, Auchnagatt offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a detached rural home set within approximately six acres of picturesque grounds, complete with a loch, extensive outbuildings and former fish farm infrastructure, presenting extraordinary scope for a variety of uses subject to the necessary consents, whether that be lifestyle, equestrian, smallholding, tourism, or business venture, with the setting alone providing immediate appeal thanks to the sweeping open countryside, tranquil water feature and sense of complete privacy balanced with accessibility. The property falls within the catchment area for Auchnagatt Primary School and Ellon Academy for secondary education. Full fibre broadband connectivity is also available to the property, subject to connection if required.
The accommodation within the main dwelling is well proportioned and functional, comprising a welcoming entrance hallway providing access to the principal ground floor rooms, including a bright and generously sized lounge with focal fireplace and large window allowing natural light to flood the space, an open plan kitchen and diner which forms the heart of the home, fitted with a range of base and wall units and enjoying pleasant outlooks across the garden and loch beyond, creating an excellent everyday family space; additionally, there is a downstairs bedroom, a useful utility room with external access, providing further practicality for country living, along with a ground floor bathroom and storage which adds flexibility to the layout.
On the upper level, the property offers a selection of well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying a peaceful outlook over the surrounding land, accompanied by further storage and a bathroom, creating comfortable family accommodation that, whilst perfectly liveable, also presents clear potential for modernisation or reconfiguration to suit a purchaser’s requirements, allowing the next owner to truly make the home their own.
Externally is where this property truly excels and sets itself apart, the grounds extending to approximately six acres and incorporating a mix of lawn, mature planting, open areas and working elements, with a substantial loch forming a striking focal point and offering both visual appeal and further possibilities, historically linked to the fish farm use, and complemented by water channels and natural features which enhance the overall setting; the land itself provides excellent versatility, suitable for hobby farming, equestrian use, horticulture or leisure purposes, all within a peaceful rural environment. The Buchan line runs adjacent to the property and offers excellent walking trails.
A significant range of outbuildings and ancillary accommodation further elevate the offering, including a large stone built mill, over three levels with its own electricity supply, fast car charger port and solar panels and an additional large workshop that has its own electricity and water supply, alongside further former operational areas connected to the fish farm, all of which provide a wealth of opportunity for redevelopment, conversion or business use subject to the relevant permissions, and may appeal to those seeking income potential, multi-generational living options or simply extensive storage and workspace rarely available with a residential property. The overall package combines a solid and comfortable home with outstanding external assets, where the true value lies not only in what exists but in what could be created, making this an exciting and highly adaptable purchase for buyers with vision, whether looking to establish a rural business, develop tourism accommodation, create a bespoke lifestyle property or simply enjoy an expansive countryside setting with privacy and character. The potential here is truly exceptional, and early viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, setting and opportunities that Mill of Elrick Fish Farm has to offer.
