Riverside Retreat with Holiday Cottage Near Aberfeldy Hits the Market

A unique property offering a blend of comfortable living and lucrative holiday let potential has just come onto the market in Highland Perthshire. Situated on approximately 11 acres of picturesque riverside land, Boat of Cluny, just three miles from Aberfeldy, presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle with an existing income stream. Two Historic Buildings Overlooking the Tay
The property comprises two distinct buildings, both dating back to the late 19th century. The first, known as The Steading House, has been thoughtfully converted into a charming one-bedroom home, complemented by a self-contained holiday annex currently operating as a successful holiday let. The second building, Ferry Cottage, is also a well-established holiday let, adding to the property’s income potential.
Both The Steading House and Ferry Cottage enjoy enviable riverside locations, boasting captivating views of the River Tay. Their historic character has been carefully preserved, adding to their appeal. The Steading House: A Blend of Modern and Traditional
The Steading House retains the charm of its agricultural past with a traditional L-shaped layout. The main living area is a standout feature, with a vaulted ceiling creating a sense of spaciousness, and a mezzanine level housing the bedroom. A well-equipped kitchen and a recently updated shower room complete the main residence.
Attached to The Steading House is the Riverside Snug, a one-bedroom annexe currently used for holiday lettings. This offers flexibility for the new owners, with the option to continue generating income or to incorporate the annexe into the main house, creating a larger family home. Ferry Cottage: Cosy and Charming Holiday Let
Ferry Cottage offers a cosy retreat for holidaymakers. Fireplaces in both the living room and dining room create a warm and inviting ambience, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Perthshire. Upstairs, two double bedrooms and a bathroom provide comfortable accommodation. A second bathroom is located downstairs, alongside a kitchen at the rear of the cottage. Estate agents Savills describe Ferry Cottage as a highly successful and established holiday letting business, a testament to its popularity. Extensive Grounds and Riverside Amenities
Beyond the buildings themselves, the property’s extensive grounds offer a true haven. Stretching along the River Tay for around half a mile, the 11 acres provide ample space for outdoor pursuits and relaxation. Residents can enjoy picturesque riverside views from various spots in the garden, or take a stroll down to the small shingle beach situated below the houses. A sauna and hot tub, currently available for guests of the holiday lets, will be included in the sale, enhancing the luxury appeal. A riverside hut adds a unique touch, and a double garage offers practical storage space.
This unique property is being marketed by Savills and is available for offers over £845,000. The property is not only an ideal residence for those looking for a peaceful riverside home but also for individuals or families interested in generating an income from the thriving holiday let market in Perthshire. Boat of Cluny is a short drive from Aberfeldy and provides quick access to the local shops, cafes, and the beautiful surrounding area. The proximity to popular destinations such as Kenmore, the Birks of Aberfeldy and the charming village of Dull makes this an exceptional property in a highly desirable location.
