Property for sale in Strathdon
Lying 45 miles west of Aberdeen, in Cairngorm National Park, the village of Strathdon was originally named 'Invernochty' as it lies at the confluence of the River Don and the River Nochty. Strath is Scottish Gaelic for valley and Strathdon is the largest of several villages that pepper the A944 as it shadows the meandering River Don.
Aberdeenshire is a wonderful place to live especially for those that love outdoor pursuits such as walking, cycling, horse riding, shooting, and hill-climbing. However, finding cottages and houses for sale in Strathdon can be a challenge as the village is both popular and small. Occasionally, stone-built cottages and houses do come on the market and are usually set in remote rural locations with unfettered views of the hills and glens. If you are looking for flats for sale in Strathdon you may need to widen your area of search but, before you do, it is worth contacting Strathdon estate agents to see what is currently available.
