Dreaming of your own private, 4,000-acre Scottish estate? We’ve got just the thing: magnificent Kinross House in the Scottish Lowlands, about a half hour’s drive from Edinburgh.

The recently restored neo-classical Palladian mansion dates to 1685, and recently hosted King Charles III for a stay. Recognized as one of the United Kingdom’s most exclusive private venues, Kinross House can accommodate up to 48 guests, and available to reserve for a maximum of nine weeks each year.

Secluded and discrete, the house and grounds feature a spa, private loch and island boasting Lochleven Castle, the actual castle which once held Mary Queen of Scots as a prisoner. The property includes 24 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, a billiards room, whisky library, Grand Salon, gym, helipad and flexible dining options, and is fully staffed and catered. Expansive, sculpted gardens and an impressive fine art collection add to the sense of refinement and extraordinary luxury.

The estate’s gardens are comprised of formal lawns and terraces, a walled garden, parterres, orchards, pastures, lush meadows, and woodlands. The gardens have also been part of the restoration efforts, returned to their original glory and the 1658 designs of former owner Sir William Bruce, who planted them a decade prior to the construction of Kinross House to ensure the house was set within a mature landscape.

Activities include archery, badminton, boules, clay pigeon shooting, cricket and croquet. Fancy a tour of the gardens? The estate’s Head Gardener hosts tours of both the formal gardens and kitchen garden, where many of the fruits and vegetables used in the dining room are cultivated.

In keeping with a manor house lifestyle, housekeeping and butler services are included, along with a private chef, wine and drinks services, turndown, spa treatments, helicopter transfers, flowers, and a photographer. A classic or luxury car hire, chauffeur, wine and whiskey tastings, and other activities are also part of guest stays. Depending on the time of year, fireworks and custom drone displays or light shows can be arranged, along with entertainment from area musicians, pianists, opera singers and pipe bands.
