An outstanding Perthshire estate
Tenure: Freehold
Situation: Dunira lies in some of the most attractive and accessible countryside in Scotland. The land rises from the fertile farmland on the banks of the River Earn through wooded hillsides to spectacular and rugged mountain tops. Despite its Highland surroundings, Edinburgh and Glasgow International Airports both lie within about an hour's drive of the estate, making it an easy trip for a weekend, or even a day, from other parts of the country. The village of Comrie lies approximately two miles east of the main estate driveway, at the meeting of Glens Lednock and Artney. Predominantly stone built houses line the tidy main street and the village offers a good range of shops and businesses. Crieff (9 miles) to the west, offers a more extensive range of services, and the county town of Perth has all the services expected of a major town, including a well-known theatre and a concert hall. There are excellent private schools locally, with Ardvreck Preparatory School and Morrison's Academy both at Crieff; Glenalmond College is about 18 miles to the east. Perthshire is renowned for the high quality of its traditional sport including stalking for both red and roe deer, salmon fishing, pheasant and grouse shooting. Whilst Dunira offers a taste of all sports, additional sport may be taken on local estates. Gleneagles Hotel lies within about 16 miles. The golf courses here are of international repute, whilst the shooting school, riding school and school of falconry, together with the health club, offer further recreation. More locally, there are golf courses at Comrie, Crieff and St Fillans. Loch Earn (about 3 miles) offers a variety of water sports. Historical Note In 1784, Henry Dundas, variously described as the - uncrowned king of Scotland - and - the absolute dictator of Scotland - , purchased Dunira along with neighbouring estates, extending to 20,000 acres. He was created Viscount Melville and Baron Dunira in 1802. Dundas used Dunira as a rural retreat; his principal residence was Melville Castle, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. He died at Dunira in 1811 and is commemorated by the 72' high obelisk which is a dominant feature of the landscape on Monument Hill to the north of Comrie. The estate was sold in 1824 by his son, the 2nd Viscount Melville, to Sir Robert Dundas of Beechwood, a principal Clerk of the Court of Session, and remained in the possession of that family until the second decade of the 20th century. Over the years, the 20,000 acres were split up. By 1877, when Sir Robert's grandson, Sir Sidney James Dundas, inherited Dunira, the estate was reduced to about 5,600 acres. He built a new steading in 1879 and made many other improvements including building new estate cottages. The estate was further fragmented by sales in the 20th century. Today's estate of some 3,358 acres was reassembled over ten years by the previous owners, who bought the Home Farm and the Whitehouse of Dunira, shown on surviving estate plans as Gerrichrew, in 1986, and subsequently acquired Wester Ballindalloch. The Whitehouse had become the principal residence on the estate after the destruction by fire and subsequent demolition in 1948 of the Victorian Dunira House, designed in 1852 by William Burn for Sir David Dundas.
Savills negotiator: Anna Thomas
Extending in all to about 3,261 acres, Dunira combines a diverse landscape with the essential ingredients of a classic estate: a main house, cottages, development potential, farming, forestry and sport.
The Whitehouse of Dunira lies at the very core of the estate, well-protected from view. The nearby former coach house has been converted to create a shoot lunch room and games room, with ample space to accommodate either guests or clients.
Also on the estate are a number of secondary estate houses and cottages and residential development opportunities. At Wester Ballindalloch, in Glen Lednock, there is a large traditional stone farmhouse, and at Dunira there are two traditional stone cottages and two staff cottages. During 2008, several planning consents have been obtained, and there is now the opportunity to create eight further residential properties at Dunira, an extension to the Whitehouse, and up to four at Wester Ballindalloch.
Farming
The in hand agricultural enterprise at Dunira can be divided into two parts, having traditionally been run as two units. The low ground at the Home Farm is fertile loam and ideally suited to arable production or good quality grazing for beef stock. Glen Lednock, however, is more suited to sheep, with low ground - in-bye' or grazing land, and heather-clad hill above. The estate is well fenced for stock with a significant fencing programme having been undertaken within the past twelve months.
A strategic programme of investment has been embarked upon in the last year with the objective of re-introducing an in hand farming operation with target stocking levels of 120 cattle based at the Home Farm, and 1000 blackface ewes in Glen Lednock at Wester Ballindalloch. This includes construction of new roads, a large scale bracken spraying plan at Wester Ballindalloch, extensive fencing works, and obtaining planning permissions for employee properties and a new farm steading. New drainage system?
Historically, the estate had an excellent reputation as an Aberdeen Angus producer and bred a famous Angus bull, Keystone of Dunira, in the 1950's. The current owner has managed to source direct descendants of the Keystone bull in order to re-introduce a top quality Aberdeen Angus business. The remainder of the core herd was bought from the McLarens of Netherton, recognised as one of the top Aberdeen Angus breeders in the UK. The estate is also home to 14 Highland cattle.
The current stocking levels are not yet at the target figures, but nevertheless provide a very strong base to allow further development of the farm business. The Home Farm was to be the centre of operations, and planning has been granted for a 65,000ft2 custom-built new steading to facilitate this.
Sportings
The sport at Dunira offers year round entertainment with a pheasant and partridge shoot, red and roe deer stalking, salmon and trout fishing.
Low Ground Shooting
The current owner has spent the past year laying the foundations for a first class driven pheasant and partridge shoot, releasing 16,000 birds for the 2008/2009 season (10,000 pheasants and 6,000 partridge). The many established woodland coverts and newly created game crops promise spectacular driven sport with potential for a number of back to back days. Potential drives are illustrated on the sale plan There is also duck flighting from a recently restored trout lochan, and other ponds and watercourses across the estate, and pigeon flighting.
Stalking
The stalking at Dunira takes place on the hill above Glen Lednock, where historically there was also walked up grouse shooting. Although not a recognised deer forest, the estate provides remarkably varied country. Sport may be enjoyed in most winds with Balnacoul - Castle' and Sgorr Racaineach forming high tops from which most of the country can be easily spied. In its relatively modest expanse, there is a surprising range of terrain with corries and burns, heather and rock. The extensive woodland plantation and coverts around the Home Farm provide excellent roe shooting.
Accommodation: Included in the sale is salmon and trout fishing on a stretch of the River Earn, a famous tributary of the River Tay, and on a significant length of the River Lednock. Traditionally both have been let to the Comrie Angling Club on an annual basis, at a nominal rent in return for ? house rods, to make use of the fishings. The current lease expires on 31st October 2008. No formal catch records have been kept.
At Dunira, there is a trout loch of almost an acre which was dredged in 2008 and subsequently stocked with 200 - brown trout. It provides a beautiful location for some peaceful private fishing or an opportunity to let rods on a commercial basis. A number of wooden fishing pontoons, connected by a wooden walkway, have been built to allow easier casting.
Forestry
Dunira has both commercial and amenity woodlands which have been professionally managed to create income, wildlife habitat, stock shelter and sport. In total the woodland area extends to about 906 acres (367 ha).
The main conifers are Sitka spruce, larch, Norway spruce and Douglas fir, and are of a variety of ages. At the eastern edge of the estate are three adjoining woodlands, Twenty Shilling Wood, Polyrigg Wood and Monument Wood, which together extend to about 304 acres and are dominated by mature oak, birch, rowan and willow. .
A Forest Plan was approved for the estate woodland on 21st December 2006. It gives outline thinning, felling and replanting approval for a ten year period. It is likely felling will take place within the next five years. Three areas of woodland are under a Woodland Grant Scheme (WGS). Further details are available at the back of the brochure.
Lying at the heart of the estate and approached by a long tree lined drive, The Whitehouse enjoys a south facing setting and a level of privacy commensurate with a principal estate residence. Newly created cast iron entrance gates, incorporating inter-linked - D's' representing the old Dunira - Dundas family logo, herald the start of the avenue, about 600 metres in length.
The accommodation is as shown on the accompanying floor plans. It is claimed that Claude Phillimore, the internationally respected architect of the 1950's, was responsible for the unusual triangular entrance hall with its elegant galleried staircase. The principal rooms include a large south facing drawing room enjoying views over the terrace to the garden below, and a dining room with hand painted French wallpaper. There is a secondary sitting room near the spacious kitchen, which has an Aga and breakfast area. The rooms beyond are divided from the main house by a door and include an office, boot room and drying cupboard. There is also a bedroom ideally suited for staff, with a separate shower room, and a nearby door to outside. Back stairs lead to the first floor.
On the first floor, the principal suite occupies the entire east wing of the house. In addition, there are two guest bedrooms with en suite facilities, four further bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
Coach House
Outside, across a gravelled parking area, the former outbuildings have been refurbished to provide accommodation complementary to The Whitehouse. Centred on a spacious party room with an open fire and wooden dance floor, this room is also large enough to accommodate a billiard table. Double doors lead directly out onto a patio with access to the all weather tennis court, and inside there are shower facilities. The shoot dining room comfortably seats 12 - 14, and is served from the nearby kitchen area and wine store. From outside, there is access to a large garage with space for three cars, and a store.
Garden
The garden at The Whitehouse provides a colourful backdrop to the house in all seasons of the year. Immediately in front of the house is a flagstone terrace, from where a flight of steps leads down to the main lawn edged with herbaceous borders. The rhododendrons and azaleas are a particular feature of the gardens at The Whitehouse. Fringed with mature oaks and other specimen trees, the garden is well sheltered and private.
To the east, the lawns lead on to a pond fed by a natural burn. To the south, the terrace leads to a secondary lawn below, beyond which lies the estate farmland. Behind the house is a kitchen garden providing herbs, fruit and flowers for the house.
Houses & Cottages
The estate has negotiated a number of planning permissions at both Dunira and Wester Ballindalloch within the past year, providing a platform for a new owner to create a first class working estate.
Dunira Home Farm Cottages
Two farm cottages of Dorran construction lie to the west of The Whitehouse. Planning consent has been obtained to replace these with two detached properties, each of about 1,400ft2. Currently, the accommodation in each cottage comprises an open plan sitting/dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
Grain Store Flat
Planning consent has been obtained to create a 900ft2 staff flat in this traditional stone building beyond the tennis court.
Cluan Cottage
Cluan Cottage lies at the east end of the low ground part of the estate, in an exceptionally private and pretty site surrounded by deciduous trees, although open enough to benefit from its south facing position. It is of traditional stone construction under a slate roof and over a single storey, and planning consent has been obtained to extend the earlier accommodation to about 1,065ft2. Work is under way, and the completed cottage will have an open plan kitchen/dining and sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Lying some way from the main house, it would be ideally suited for a holiday cottage, if not required for a member of staff.
Druim na Cille Cottage
Lying on the hill above the house beyond High Knowe Wood, this traditional stone cottage enjoys magnificent views along Strathearn. Currently un-occupied, planning consent has been obtained (to be revised?) to extend the existing building to create a house of about 2,000ft2 with a separate garage and log store. Currently the accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, utility room and bathroom.
Wester Ballindalloch Farmhouse
Wester Ballindalloch Farmhouse lies in the heart of Glen Lednock and enjoys a south facing position with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Lying at the end of a private estate road, the house is of stone construction under a slate roof over one and a half storeys. It has been recently unoccupied whilst an application for planning consent has been obtained to extend it to over 3,500ft2, either as one house or as two. The accommodation currently comprises two sitting rooms, a dining room, kitchen, scullery, five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two box rooms.
Wester Ballindalloch Steading
Lying near the house is a range of buildings of stone construction for which planning consent has been obtained for conversion into two houses, each of over 2,000ft2. Include proposed layout plans.
Balnacoul
This traditional stone cottage is now only a shell, but lies beyond Wester Ballindalloch Farmhouse and steading on the banks of the River Lednock and enjoys a superbly private position. Planning consent has been obtained to almost double it in size to about 970ft2, making it ideal for a holiday cottage or shepherd. Include elevation drawings.
Estate Buildings
Lying to the west of the Coach House are a number of buildings currently used for storage. Better suited to support the shoot rather than the farm, planning consent has instead been obtained for a modern purpose-built farm steading of about 65,000ft2 in an alternative location, well away from the main house, as shown on the sale plan. Insert plan.
In addition to the traditional buildings at Wester Ballindalloch, there is an existing Dutch barn and cattle shed.
Directions: To reach Dunira from Comrie, take the A85 westwards. After about 1.5 miles, after following a well-established beech hedge on the right, the main gates to the estate will be seen on the right, marked - Access to Whitehouse - . For Wester Ballindalloch, leave Comrie heading westwards and just before leaving the village take the road signposted on the right to Glen Lednock. Continue on this road for about 3.5 miles and the private road to Wester Ballindalloch will be seen on the left after Easter Ballindalloch.
