The property has been described as "truly idyllic".

A “truly idyllic” Cairngorms farmhouse with more than 80 acres of land included has been put on sale for over £1.8 million.

The property offers ‘uninterrupted, stunning views’ over the surrounding national park with a private track leading to the property.

Approaching the house itself, potential buyers will find ‘Backharn,’ constructed on the site of a former croft using some of its original stonework.

The sellers, Galbraith Group, say the house has been built and finished to a very high standard with a wonderfully bright and airy feel.

They say its thanks to its pitch-pine doors, skirtings and timber facings, double glazed windows and French doors that “flood the interior with natural light.”

Heading inside, the house is accessed through a brightly lit hall leading into the reception hall and passage which gives access to the main rooms.

Would-be owners can enjoy the open plan kitchen, family room and drawing room which share a two way wood burning stove.

“Accessed over a private track and sheltered by mature woodland, the house enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding National Park with barely a man made structure or other dwelling visible from the property.
