INSIDE a $32,000,000 Castle for Sale in Scotland | Gardens, Hunting Grounds and 4 Miles of Coastline

Join us for a tour of Dunbeath, a magnificent castle for sale in Scotland. Perched high on a cliff above the North Sea, Dunbeath Castle is a magnificent 'A' listed castle for sale with 28,500 acres of it's original estate, which encompasses one of Scotland's great coastal wildernesses. If you have any questions about the property, feel free to reach out. I can be reached at [email protected]. It is very rare to see a castle for sale with such a large portion of its original estate intact. The Dunbeath estate contains over 44 square miles of land in total, consisting of 4 miles of coastline, formal gardens, hunting grounds, pasture, highland, and an entire 12.5 mile long river system from catchment to drainage known as the Dunbeath Water. Dunbeath Castle is 30 miles north of Dunrobin Castle. HISTORY A castle is first recorded on the rocky peninsula at Dunbeath in 1428. In 1620 the Sinclairs enlarged the original castle with a larger, 4-story tower which remained in the family for 325 years. It was extensively remodeled in the 17th century by the Sinclairs, and then again in 1853, when David Bryce was hired as the lead architect. Mr. Bryce remodeled the northern front of the castle to make it symmetrical, and he also reworked the grounds to include the 3/4 long straight drive with the sea behind the castle. This approach is known as one of the most dramatic approaches to any residence in the world. ARCHITECTURE Dunbeath Castle has 13 bedrooms, 3 grand reception rooms, 9 bathrooms, and a total of 17,000 square feet. The castle has a symmetrical northeast front defined by two matching bow stair turrets with corbelled bases. At the corners, on the upper floor, two angle bartizans with conical roofs add further character to this magnificent ‘fairytale’ castle. The walls, reaching five feet in thickness, are harled and whitewashed beneath a series of pitched slate roofs and crowstepped gables. Ornate dormers project above the wallheads. There are numerous gunloops and a square tower with a crenallated parapet in keeping with the castle’s defensive origins. OUTBUILDINGS There are 21 additional houses and cottages on the property, currently providing accommodation for staff and leased out for long term stays. A series of fishing cabins line the 12.5 miles of double-bank fishing on the Dunbeath Water, and Dunbeath Mains contains several farm buildings, including a stock court, an implement shed, a straw shed and a stable courtyard.
