Munros Toma Choirnich and Toll Creagh partly sit on the estate - the highest point within its boundaries being at 1101 metres above sea level.
Emma Chalmers, partner of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “Mullardoch is a very special place, set amidst some of Scotland’s most dramatic and beautiful scenery and offering a superbly “get away from it all” property.
“The bothies are the definition of off-grid – with no amenities, but surrounded by hills and native forest, offering superb wilderness views. Access to the bothies is via a hill track, or on foot. The estate provides exceptional opportunities for some deer stalking, hill walking, stargazing, birdwatching or simply to immerse yourself in nature.”
Mullardoch Estate extends to about 4,261 acres (1,724 hectares), comprising hill ground, native woodlands of principally Scots Pine and Birch.
The estate is home to a wealth of wildlife including red deer, pine martens, mountain hares, black grouse, golden eagles and goshawks. In previous years, deer stalking has been enjoyed on its grounds, with a ten-year average of ten stags and eight hinds. The estate has been in the same ownership for over 40 years.
Loch Mullardoch stretches some nine miles westwards from Mullardoch dam, which was created in 1951. The present owners of the estate have an informal arrangement with both the Hydro Board and the surrounding landowners to use a boat on the loch.
Mullardoch Estate has a number of burns feeding Loch Mullardoch, with the principal one sitting just to the west of the main bothy. Subject to investigative surveys and the necessary consents, it may offer the opportunity to create a small hydro scheme.
