Last updated 17th May 2022
It's Scotland's most expensive residential home and could be yours for £7 .5m.
The maginficent mansion in Aberdeen's Bieldside is currently owned by property tycoon and ex Dons chairman Stewart Milne.
It was built on the site of Princes Diana's grandmother's house.
Dalhebity House was built in 2009. The property, which extends to over 30,000 square feet and includes a fabulous spa complex, swimming pool and staff accommodation, sits surrounded by about 10 acres with majestic trees and woodland ensuring privacy, just seven miles from Aberdeen International Airport.
The construction team created exquisite period-style features and detailing, from curved wood panelling, marquetry, veneers, carvings, intricate plasterwork to a stained glass cupola and elaborate fireplaces. Just a few of the many highlights on the ground floor are the utterly breathtaking marbled floored reception hall, 20 marble columns, with grand marble central sweeping horseshoe staircase and domed stained glass cupola; the formal banqueting style dining room seating 26; the atmospheric library; and fabulous family space with fabulous custom made walnut kitchen. Upstairs there is an upper gallery creatively designed with various relaxing zones which include a cocktail bar and reading lounge, while the stylish bedroom suites are all the height of luxury. Staff accommodation includes a self-contained three en suite bedrooms apartment.
The spa element at Dalhebity House is luxurious in every way, with sauna and steam rooms along with treatment, massage and relaxation rooms featuring beautiful mosaic tiling, and giving access onto the indoor swimming pool.
Outside, a charming European-style internal courtyard is a sheltered sun trap while the entrance to the grounds is via a long tree-lined drive. Expanses of velvety lawn stretch from paved terraces and other features of the grounds include a breeze hut (with deck and kitchen), summerhouse and all-weather tennis court.
Director of selling agents Savills, Fiona Gormley said: “The sheer scale and finish of this sumptuous house is hugely impressive and yet the clever design and layout mean the space does not overwhelm: informal and supremely comfortable family rooms balance with wonderful entertaining areas. A modern-built house of this stature is utterly unique in Scotland and it’s an extraordinary achievement. A new owner can be confident of a private setting and yet first class airport and city accessibility too.”
