Embrace the peace, tranquility and beauty of the countryside in this plush property complete with outdoor riding arena and stables.

Set within three acres of lush green countryside on the outskirts of Mintlaw, the amazing five-bedroom, detached property has been the perfect home for Samantha Wiseman and her partner Cameron.

“I’ve enjoyed everything about our home, there is really nothing not to enjoy,” says Samantha who works from home as a dog groomer.

“It’s great having horses at home and spending time on the yard.

“The house itself was built in 1867 and I believe it was originally linked to the mill at Mintlaw.

“The owners before me did a lot of work to the property in terms of building work, fixing walls and they built a beautiful conservatory.”

Perfect for equestrian enthusiasts

After four blissfully happy years, Samantha has put her exceptional home on the market which she believes would suit a family with horses.

“I think the area is great and for anyone commuting it’s especially good,” says Samantha.

“But the house itself is really beautiful as the interior is all mostly newly refurbished.

“There’s not another house like it in terms on design and looks.”

Perfect for parties

Entertaining can also be enjoyed in the fabulous family room.

Over the years, Samantha says the home has been the ideal place to host family gatherings.

“We have had some fun, and we mostly have Christmas here as it’s a great home for accommodating lots of people,” says Samantha.

For those who work from home, there’s plenty of space to choose from for a home office but the fifth bedroom is ideal as it has an ensuite shower room.

Tranquil yet central location

Asked what she’ll miss most about her wonderful house, Samantha says: “How beautiful and different it is plus the storage is also incredible and I also love the yard set up too.”

Location wise, the property, on the outskirts of Mintlaw, enjoys the best of both worlds with the peace and tranquility of the countryside on the doorstep while remaining close to the hustle and bustle of Aberdeen just over 30 minutes away.
