Balgonar is a small estate which includes a family-run mixed farm. The owners keep Aberdeen Angus cattle as well as the horses and sheep. It is the perfect spot for walking - whether it's a quiet stroll around the walled garden and the duck pond or a more adventurous hike into the hills. Within an hour of off-road walking you can enjoy some of the finest views in Central Scotland, looking to the Ochils and the distant Wallace Monument.

From the minute you enter Balgonar drive, off a minor country road, the relaxation just sweeps over you. Horses and sheep graze behind the post and rail fence lining the drive on one side. On the other is a semi-wild wooded area. The drive winds round away from the main house and past the old farm steadings. The Cottage is right in front of you.
The traditional stone-built cottage, which is set in its own pretty enclosed garden, boasts unusually spacious accommodation all on one level. It has a wood burning stove in the sitting room, as well as an oil-fired central heating system and double-glazing throughout, making it warm and comfortable whatever the season.

Uninterrupted views of the rolling hillside are enjoyed from the sitting room and master bedroom. Deer and the occasional wily fox venture from the glen in the quiet of the early morning and cattle and ponies graze the hills.
