Description
Set amidst some of Perthshire's most captivating landscapes, Litigan and Silverburn Cottage present a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country property with an established luxury holiday cottage, occupying approximately 4.5 acres of enchanting grounds in an elevated south-facing position overlooking the magnificent Tay Valley. These views really need to be seen to be believed! Enjoying complete privacy and breathtaking panoramic views, this remarkable unique lifestyle living opportunity seamlessly combines the romance of a period home with contemporary comforts, income-generating potential, and an unrivalled connection to nature. Approached via a quiet track leading towards Garth Castle, Litigan and Silverburn Cottage occupy a truly engaging setting. The sweeping track up the hillside sets the stage. From its gardens, uninterrupted vistas sweep across the valley to the meeting point of the Rivers Tay and Lyon before extending for miles towards Aberfeldy. In the opposite direction, the dramatic silhouettes of Dun Coillich and Schiehallion provide an ever-changing backdrop, while seasonal cloud inversions transform the landscape into a spectacle rarely witnessed elsewhere. The Main Residence - Litigan Thoughtfully extended and having been recently and extensively upgraded, Litigan offers elegant and versatile accommodation designed for modern family living while retaining its warmth and character. A welcoming hallway invites you to all the rooms on this level. At the heart of the home lies a spectacular open-plan dining kitchen and living space, creating an inviting setting for entertaining and everyday life alike. The room is flooded with natural light from the doors that open directly onto the gardens, where you can invite the outside in. This impressive room forms the social hub of the property and is popular with all members of the family. The well-appointed kitchen features an extensive range of floor - and wall-mounted units, paired with a U-shaped work surface to create a practical and efficient workspace. A recessed space has been thoughtfully designed to house the Rangemaster cooker and offers space for further plumbed appliances such as a dishwasher, microwave and abundant kitchen storage space. A further welcoming connecting hallway leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms, including a delightful principal suite, affectionately known as the throughroom, "a room that keeps on giving", with direct access to the gardens. Beyond the principal bedroom lies a practical utility room, complete with the ever-popular ceiling-mounted dryer, and a beautifully appointed shower room. All four bedrooms are bright and airy, offering flexible furniture arrangements and ample space for additional freestanding furnishings if desired. Each room can be adapted to suit the individual needs and requirements of a prospective purchaser. The current owners have thoughtfully converted one of the bedrooms into a versatile office and/or guest room, ideal for remote home-working arrangements supported by networked wifi repeaters through the house. The family bathroom is a unique and practical space, featuring twin baths, a thoughtful design particularly well suited to larger families. Extensive storage throughout completes the ground-floor accommodation. Ascending to the upper floor, you are welcomed into a magnificent full-length sitting room, where a wood-burning stove and elevated views combine to create an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and tranquillity throughout the seasons. It is easy to imagine the many relaxing evenings this exceptional space has hosted, making it a wonderful retreat for unwinding and enjoying the surrounding outlook. This area, if required, could be further subdivided and turned into a studio space or transformed into a spectacular master bedroom. Recent enhancements include a refurbished underfloor heating system, a refurbished biomass boiler (the property has optional/redundant heating systems), triple-glazed windows, high-security multi-lock doors, solar photovoltaic panels and battery energy storage, ensuring exceptional energy efficiency alongside modern convenience. Silverburn Cottage Nestled discreetly within its own private grounds, Silverburn Cottage is a beautifully crafted detached retreat that has established an outstanding reputation as a highly successful holiday let. Designed entirely on one level, the cottage centres around a stunning vaulted living room, where a wood-burning stove, an abundance of natural light and truly breathtaking views combine to create an exceptional living space. With its elevated outlook and surrounding woodland, there is an almost ship-like sensation above the valley as the landscape falls away in front of you. Grounds and Lifestyle

Properties of this calibre and setting seldom become available. Combining a substantial family home, a thriving hospitality business, extensive grounds and one of Perthshire's most spectacular outlooks, Litigan and Silverburn Cottage represent an extraordinary opportunity to embrace an exceptional rural lifestyle in one of Scotland's most sought-after locations. A place of remarkable beauty, timeless character and enduring appeal, Litigan and Silverburn are more than a home; they are a destination, a sanctuary and a legacy.
