About this property
Tucked away in the untamed majesty of the Scottish Highlands, Spey Valley House is a former shooting lodge reborn as a remarkable private retreat. Set amidst the Cairngorms National Park, this expansive and characterful home is steeped in tradition yet designed for modern Highland living, perfect for adventurous families, milestone celebrations, or long, fire-lit evenings among friends.
Inside, the seven elegant double bedrooms, six bathrooms, and separate bothy sleep up to sixteen guests in comfort and style. Roaring log fires, wood-panelled rooms, and period details offer a nod to the estate’s storied past, while a sleek, modern kitchen, fast Wi-Fi throughout, and a bubbling outdoor hot tub offer every contemporary comfort. A whimsical shepherd’s hut is tucked away in the grounds for extra charm, and extra guests.
Outside, the house opens onto a private nine-hole golf course framed by towering pines and snow-capped peaks. Whether it's clay pigeon shooting, trout fishing, a friendly match of tennis, or simply soaking in the fresh Highland air, Spey Valley House is a sanctuary for active escapes and laid-back luxury alike.
Set on the western edge of the Cairngorm Mountains and just above the glinting waters of the River Spey, Spey Valley House enjoys one of Scotland’s most breath-taking settings. Though blissfully remote in feeling, the property is well-connected: only forty-five minutes from Inverness Airport and just two hours from Edinburgh, making arrival both scenic and simple.
The nearby town of Kingussie, just ten minutes away, provides essentials, local charm, and Highland hospitality, while Aviemore, Scotland’s hub for winter sports and outdoor pursuits, is a short drive further. This is an area shaped by nature, where days might start with a hike through the forest, continue with salmon fishing on the Spey, and end with a dram of whisky by the fire.
From wildlife watching and mountain biking to whisky trails and historic castles, the Cairngorms region is rich in outdoor adventure and cultural intrigue, all easily accessible from your front door.
