A 17th-century castle in Angus, Scotland, has been put on the market for the first time in over 150 years, with an asking price of offers over £11.3 million. Careston Castle, also known as Caraldston Castle, features castellated turrets, a red-sandstone facade, six bedrooms, and four reception rooms.
The property, which comes with a 1,528-acre estate, includes several cottages and a farmhouse. The castle alone can be purchased for nearly £3 million. It is located five miles southwest of Brechin, surrounded by farmland and woodland.
Owned by the same family for close to 150 years, the estate can be bought as a whole or in lots. The lots include cottages, a farm, and 1.6 miles of prime salmon and sea trout fishing spots. The current building dates back to around 1582, though the original structure was built in the 13th century.
Evelyn Channing of Savills, the agent handling the sale, said: “Careston Castle was described in 1682 as ‘without debait the best gentleman’s house in the shyre.’ The centerpiece of this highly attractive and readily accessible estate possesses all the iconic characteristics of a Scottish castle yet is a cherished and manageable family home.”
