A truly unique home, rich in architectural character and surrounded by the natural beauty of Highland Perthshire.

Set within an enchanting woodland plot above the village of Weem, just outside Aberfeldy, Tressour Wood is a remarkable detached home offering an exceptional combination of contemporary design, privacy and breathtaking countryside surroundings.

Designed and built by renowned Gaia Architects it was the winner of the prestigious UK House of the Year Award in 1993. Tressour Wood is an early example of environmentally conscious architecture, Its distinctive design, striking elevations and thoughtfully considered relationship with the landscape make it a particularly special home, quite unlike anything else in the area.

Occupying an established plot of approximately 0.57 acres, the property enjoys an elevated position with outstanding views across the Upper Tay Valley. Surrounded by mature woodland and beautifully established gardens, it offers a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining less than a mile from the vibrant and well-serviced town of Aberfeldy.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor is centred around an impressive open-plan living space, where the kitchen and dining area flow naturally into the generous living room. This light-filled space has a welcoming atmosphere, with a central wood-burning stove providing an attractive focal point and a natural gathering place throughout the seasons. Large windows frame the surrounding greenery, while French doors open directly onto a sunny southwest-facing patio, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

A conservatory offers an additional sitting area from which to enjoy the garden and woodland outlook, while an entrance hall, utility room, air source heat pump plantroom and ground-floor WC complete the accommodation. There is also a particularly versatile study area.

Upstairs, an attractive gallery landing adds to the architectural character and sense of openness, overlooking the entrance hall below. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, together with a separate shower room. The elevated position and carefully considered design continue to make the most of the surrounding views.

Outside, the gardens are every bit as appealing as the house itself. Extending to approximately 0.57 acres, the established woodland setting combines mature native trees with ornamental planting and shrubs. The remains of a former stone bothy can be found and gives a wonderful sense of exploration. The southwest-facing patio provides a particularly lovely spot for outdoor dining and enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine. From here, a pathway leads to a useful electrically
serviced shed and store, with a gate opening directly into Weem Forest, making woodland walks accessible straight from the garden.

A series of gravel terraces and winding pathways rise through the garden, passing the remains of a former stone bothy and creating a wonderful sense of exploration.
