Located in a stunning rural setting a short distance away from the beautiful Moray coast is an impressive six-bedroom stone built farmhouse complete with grazing paddock and extending to over two acres of land.
For sale through leading property consultants Galbraith, Keam Farmhouse is an elegant, detached farmhouse likely to date from the mid to late 1800s. Situated within open countryside, the farmhouse enjoys far reaching views and is a short distance to the south of the desirable coastal village of Hopeman on the Moray coast, boasting two sandy beaches and a marina.
Hopeman was founded at the beginning of the 19th Century as a fishing port and then expanded when the new harbour was built in 1800's for exporting the stone from nearby quarries. Moray, famous for its mild climate, has a beautiful and varied countryside with a coastline of rich agricultural land, prosperous fishing villages and wide, open beaches. The upland areas to the south are sparsely populated and provide dramatic scenery, some of which forms part of the Cairngorms National Park.
The property's impressive grand entrance leads to a large vestibule and stylist hallway, whilst many of the period features have been retained throughout including tall, corniced ceilings and open fireplaces in the four public rooms.
The house offers highly flexible living due to the layout of the rooms, allowing the house to be used in a variety of ways. The ground floor dining room, family room and bathroom would lend themselves well for use as a granny annexe or extended family accommodation. The magnificent dining kitchen with an Aga, a range of wall and floor units and French doors to the garden allows the outdoors in and is a lovely space from where to enjoy the delightful garden views and the countryside beyond.

Located near the popular coastal village of Hopeman and close to the world famous Gordonstoun School, this property presents a real lifestyle purchase ideal for a young active family keen to embrace rural living whilst exploring all that the beautiful Moray coast has to offer.
“The property has all the features you would hope to find for its period and character.
