With open living and dining areas and a full service kitchen on the ground floor, plus boutique hotel-style bedrooms, with two bathrooms on the upper level, the layout is a modern take on the traditional Scottish country home. Textiles and materials take their cue from the Perthshire landscape and the overall effect is one of Caledonian chic. A private decked area means you can enjoy the seclusion without crossing the threshold.
Place:
A secret sanctuary in a valley setting, the 27 acre Duchally Country Estate is one hour's drive from Glasgow and three minutes from Gleneagles Hotel, with its championship golf course. Set around a cluster of rustic courtyard settings, only the sound of a passing peacock breaks the silence.
Practical features:
The health-boosting combo of country pursuits and spa facilities adds to the cachet. Lodge owners can take the advantage of the hotels newly built leisure centre with heated pool, gum, whirlpool hot tub, steamrooms and sauna, plus children's splash pool. If you're feeling sociable, Duchally Country House Hotels, in the estate grounds, offers bistro-style dishes and international fine dining.
Plus points:
According to estate agent Savills, the Perthshire property market is still booming, and house prices witnessed double-digit growth in the past year. CLC Homes has come up with a tantalising package for second-home owners, because the lodges come with the option of a 10 year leaseback scheme, which provides a guaranteed minimum return of 7 percent. You can also rent the lodge out or keep this rural residence entirely all to yourself.
