Have a spare £29 million? Angus estate is still on the market

Major interest from home and abroad is being shown in a £29 million Angus estate but it remains on the market.

Despite rumours circulating locally that the Kinpurnie Estate, home of the late Sir James Cayzer, had been snapped up by an English buyer, selling agents said no deal had been done.

The estate, with the Kinpurnie Castle home of businessman and philanthropist Sir James at its heart, was placed on the market last month.

Sir James died in February last year and his nephew, Nigel Cayzer, said the decision to market Kinpurnie had been taken with “considerable sadness”.

It is being marketed jointly by Savills and CKD Galbraith as presenting “a rare combination of residential, agricultural, commercial and leisure enterprises”.

The Cayzer family bought the land in 1905, with the eight-bedroomed castle built soon afterwards.

The estate also includes Thriepley House as well as eight luxury holiday cottages and renowned pheasant shooting.

Luke French of Savills said: “We are dealing with an encouraging number of potential buyers, both in respect of the entire estate and also those enquiring about individual lots.”
