A Private Highland Retreat Beside the River Spey

Set in a peaceful and wonderfully private location beside the banks of the River Spey, Aikenway Estate is a truly special piece of the Scottish Highlands.

Surrounded by open countryside, mature woodland and beautiful river scenery, Aikenway is a place where life feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. The estate combines natural beauty, sporting opportunities such as shooting and salmon fishing, farm buildings and a charming traditional cottage, creating a property with enormous potential for those looking for something a little different.

At the heart of the estate is AIKENWAY FARMHOUSE, a beautiful traditional building enjoying a tranquil rural setting just a stone's throw from the River Spey. Comfortable and welcoming, the cottage sleeps six and provides the perfect base from which to enjoy everything this remarkable part of Scotland has to offer.

The comfortable lounge, complete with an open fire, creates a warm and inviting place to relax after a day outdoors, while the well-equipped kitchen provides everything needed for comfortable stays, including a cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher, together with a dining area.

Aikenway Farmhouse will soon be available for holiday letting for a minimum of five days.

A Haven for Outdoor Pursuits

Aikenway's location opens the door to an exceptional range of outdoor activities.

The River Spey provides opportunities for salmon fishing, with fishing available between 11 February and 30 September, offering the chance to enjoy one of Scotland's most celebrated rivers from a wonderfully private setting.

For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding countryside is equally inviting. Walking and cycling routes, wildlife watching, shooting and golf are all within easy reach, while the wider area is renowned for its spectacular landscapes and rich Highland heritage.

And for whisky enthusiasts, Aikenway is ideally placed for exploring some of Scotland's most famous Speyside whisky distilleries, alongside historic castles, country estates and picturesque Highland villages.

Land, Woodland & Open Space

The estate extends beyond the Farmhouse to encompass excellent farm land, mature woods, established trees and areas of open ground, creating a beautiful natural environment and a haven for wildlife.

The open spaces enjoy wonderful views towards the summit of Ben Aigan, as well as towards the River Spey, providing an ever-changing backdrop of Highland scenery throughout the seasons.

The mature woodland adds another dimension to the estate, offering shelter, privacy and an established landscape that would be difficult to recreate.

Farm Buildings & Steading

The estate also benefits from a range of large farm buildings and a steading.  The buildings have traditionally been suitable for cattle and could also provide storage space.

Whether retaining an agricultural use,  providing storage or exploring alternative possibilities, the buildings add significant practicality and potential to the estate.

A Place to Escape to

Aikenway Estate is more than a collection of buildings and land. It is a private corner of Speyside, where the River Spey, woodland, open countryside and Highland skies become part of everyday life.

For the sporting enthusiast, there is fishing and an abundance of outdoor pursuits. For those seeking a rural escape, there is peace, privacy and space. 

And beyond the estate itself lies one of Scotland's most captivating regions — a landscape of rivers, mountains, forests, castles and whisky, with something to discover in every direction.

Aikenway Estate offers the rare combination of natural beauty, sporting opportunity, accommodation and versatility in an exceptionally tranquil Highland setting.
