Easter Kintrae Steading is an outstanding property located, in an attractive setting, in the heart of the Morayshire countryside. The steading is divided into nine individual stylish homes and maintains many original features, whilst being fully compliant with modern building standards.
Designed to exacting standards by award winning architects James F Stephen, the former traditional steading will be transformed into nine superb homes to provide contemporary living in a traditional setting. The nine properties will provide a range of accommodation, sizes and styles. The designs maximise the space, light and incorporate materials of the highest quality, whilst maintaining the character of the steading.
The nine houses at Easter Kintrae, each with their own garden, are arranged around two courtyards with a mix of private and communal areas. The properties have been arranged to provide privacy, whilst the principal rooms of each property benefit from spectacular uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.
Easter Kintrae Steading lies within easy reach of the thriving Moray town of Elgin, which boasts a wide range of shops, including supermarkets and department stores, leisure facilities, restaurants and good primary and secondary schooling. In addition, private schooling can be found at Gordonstoun School some, 3 miles to the east. Elgin is served by a rail station with regular services to Inverness and Aberdeen.
The surrounding countryside offers a variety of outdoor pursuits, including fishing and shooting and there are a number of enjoyable walks in the area along the attractive dunes and sand beaches of the nearby Moray Coast. There are two golf courses in Elgin and the Championship course at Nairn is a short distance to the west. A cultural highlight in the area includes the infamous malt whiskey trail, which is located to the south. In addition, the town of Aviemore the gateway to the Cairngorm National Park, is less than an hours drive to the south provides a wide range of outdoor activities including, ski-ing, mountaineering and watersports.
The City of Inverness (38 miIes) provides all the facilities expected of a major centre and Inverness Airport, some 35 miles to the west of Easter Kintrae, provides a range of domestic flights. In addition, this part of Morayshire benefits from the proximity of the sea with sailing and water sports available along the coast and a marina nearby at Lossiemouth. There are also plans for a 500-berth marina at Ardersier, a short distance west along the Moray Coast.
