Around the world, all eyes are on the World Cup hosted in the U.S. this summer. Fans have traveled vast distances to cheer on their teams, showing their culture and enjoying countless moments of unity with American locals. The Tartan Army, that is, the Scottish fans, has especially left their mark and formed strong bonds in the Northeast. They may have turned many people’s attention to wanting to visit their vivacious country, or even move there, and this newly listed Scottish coastal castle is a property that can get that inspiration flowing further.
Known as Glengorm Estate, the 3,702-acre property is a picture-perfect example of Scotland’s beauty with rich landscapes including rolling, lush greenery and stunning water views. Most importantly, perhaps, it offers a true Scottish Baronial castle along the property’s three miles of coastline. It also includes a wide-variety of well-established, income-generating opportunities. All of this for the steep price of £9 million.
Along with robust Highland cattle and agricultural operations, it comes with four charming cottages and three apartments that a new owner can rent out short-term while keeping the privacy and prestige of gorgeous Glengorm Castle for themselves. Constructed in 1860 for James Forsyth of Dunach by prominent Edinburgh architects Kinnear and Peddie, it’s still in excellent condition. From details like turrets and stained glass to the traditional interior decor, you’re transported right back to 19th-century Scotland.
The castle has 18 bedrooms and a variety of reception rooms and cozy corners, which also make it ideal to use as a wedding or events venue. Perhaps it will become the next Villa Balbiano, the enchanting Lake Como wedding destination that wealthy couples can’t seem to get enough of. Though, it has mostly been used as a private home.
