This Scottish Castle Comes with a Golf Course — and a Baron Title

This property is on the market for £2,300,000, listed with Strutt & Parker.

Step into your own fairytale at Kelly Castle, an impressive Scottish Fortified Tower House built in the 14th century by a Norman settler named Philip de Moubray on lands believed to be acquired from William the Lion, King of Scotland.

Kelly Castle also has the added allure of acquiring the distinguished title of "Baron of Kelly”, available for purchase through a separate negotiation with the seller.

This Scottish gem is nestled in 33 acres of grounds near the tiny village of Arbirlot some 79 miles north of Edinburgh.

Surrounded by various walled gardens, the castle also comes with a paddock with a barn equipped for horses, and a private nine-hole golf course.

This centuries-old fortress offers an unparalleled blend of historic grandeur and contemporary comforts, beautifully restored by its current owners, with no expense spared.

The Grade “B” listed castle has been transformed into a “turnkey” family home offering 10,000 square feet of living space with five double bedrooms and 12 grand reception rooms.

The result is a family home that offers the amenities of a “party house”, with a home cinema in the converted semi cellar, and a snooker room with a bar and jukebox in the original kitchen located at the bottom of the tower.

As the castle comes with an onsite estate manager’s flat and staff accommodation, you can just “lock up and leave” if you suddenly need to catch a flight.
