About this property
Step into over 250 years of heritage at Inverichnie House.
A once‐in‐a‐generation mansion house hits the market.
A prestigious home set within six acres of private woodland.
Low & Partners presents you with a truly remarkable former mansion house Inverichnie House, a property of exceptional heritage, scale and privacy. Dating back to the mid‐1700s, the original two‐storey building stood on land owned by the Earls of Fife, later the Dukes of Fife. By 1822 the east wing had been added, and in 1841 the Inverichnie Estate - then extending to 920 acres - was sold to private buyers. By 1843 the west wing was completed, creating the handsome symmetry still admired today. From 1841 until 1953 the house was sold or let to a variety of occupants, most notably farmers and sporting tenants, including a season’s lease to royalty in 1900. In 1904 the property was extended once again with the addition of the grand porch and hallway, the impressive conservatory and a striking three‐storey extension. The estate was broken up and sold in 1953, and by 1977 Inverichnie House, with its current acreage, was purchased by the present owners who began a careful and extensive renovation.
Today, Inverichnie House stands as a magnificent country residence extending to approximately 543m2, offering nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, two WCs, multiple reception rooms, scullery, utility spaces, workshops, conservatories and around six acres of grounds, predominantly woodland. Tucked away on the edge of Banff, the property enjoys complete privacy, tranquillity and a sense of grandeur rarely found on the market. Homes of this calibre seldom become available, making this an exceptional opportunity for those seeking history, scale and seclusion.
The property opens with a beautiful grand entrance, complete with wooden flooring, feature corbel pillars, high ceilings and generous windows that flood the space with natural light. The hallway immediately sets the tone, showcasing the character and heritage of the home, including a charming display of its documented history. The main hallway provides access to the principal accommodation, and before reaching the large scullery and a walk‐in pantry cupboard.
The kitchen and dining area form a wonderful, welcoming space with a wood‐burning stove and a wealth of original features. Stairs rise to an upper bedroom, while double doors open into the conservatory. The kitchen itself offers wall and base cabinetry with contrasting worktops, an oven, fridge freezer and extractor hood. A curved staircase leads to the upper bedroom, where a small window halfway up and a cosy nook at the top add charm. The bedroom enjoys a Velux window, additional window, carpeted flooring, lighting and a radiator.
A beautifully tiled bathroom serves this area, complete with walk‐in shower, bath, wash hand basin, toilet, bidet, two windows, storage cupboards, lighting and radiator.
The library/living room is a grand and atmospheric space with ornate features, an open fireplace, double doors to the sunroom area, wall and ceiling lighting, radiator and carpet. Another conservatory leads off this room, offering a tranquil sitting area with tiled flooring and direct access to the stunning gardens.
The large scullery features country‐style cabinetry, sink, window and access to both the upper bedrooms and the main hallway.

Location
Inverichnie House enjoys a wonderfully secluded position on the outskirts of Banff, offering the rare combination of complete privacy and excellent accessibility. Set within approximately six acres of mature woodland and grounds, the property feels deeply rural and peaceful, yet remains only a short drive from the amenities, coastline and community facilities of Banff and Macduff.
Banff itself is a charming historic town on the Moray Firth, known for its beautiful architecture, sandy beaches and picturesque harbour. The town provides a good range of local shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, schooling and leisure facilities, along with a thriving arts and cultural scene centred around Duff House and the surrounding estate. Neighbouring Macduff offers further amenities, including the popular aquarium, golf course and coastal walks.
The area is renowned for its stunning coastline, with dramatic cliffs, sheltered coves and long sandy stretches all within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of walking routes, cycling trails, fishing opportunities and wildlife spotting along the Banffshire coast. For golfers, the region offers several highly regarded courses, including Duff House Royal Golf Club and Royal Tarlair.
Transport links are convenient for a rural setting, with Aberdeen reachable in around an hour by car, providing access to national rail services, Aberdeen International Airport and a wide range of shopping, business and cultural facilities. The surrounding countryside is dotted with traditional villages, rolling farmland and historic estates, creating a peaceful and scenic environment ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life.
Inverichnie House occupies one of the area’s most private and atmospheric settings, offering a true retreat while remaining well connected to the essentials. Its location perfectly complements the grandeur and heritage of the property, making it an exceptional choice for those looking to enjoy both seclusion and convenience in a beautiful part of Aberdeenshire.
