Bob Dylan’s Scottish Highland estate has hit the market for £3m. The property has 16 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and rests on 25 acres of land.
Commonly known as the Aultmore House, this mansion is in Nethy Bridge in Cairngorm National Park. Bob Dylan bought it in 2006 with his brother for £2.2m. For the last few years, he has been unable to visit the home due to family commitments, so he has listed it for sale.
Aultmore House is an elegant, spacious mansion ideal for people who like privacy, thanks to its convenient location along the national park. The house was built between 1911 and 1915, but it is well maintained, making it one of the most beautiful homes in Nethy Bridge.

Since its construction, the Aultmore House has changed ownership multiple times. The Nivinson family bought it in 1922 when the original owner passed away. The Nivinson’s occupied it until 1978, converting it into a school and a hotel for international students. In 2006, a major renovation was done to update the home’s electrical, wiring, and heating systems.
The Aultmore House is designed to offer perfect relaxation, so it’s a great option if you need a vacation mansion. The property is accessed through a beautiful, tree-lined driveway with a large, well-equipped parking area.
Most original designs and features are still available in the mansion, like astragal windows, stone gazebos, marble fireplaces, and timber flooring. However, excellent maintenance and the addition of modern features like smoke alarms and emergency lighting make the mansion a great fit for a modern homeowner.
The ground-floor entryway is a wonder in itself. It features wooden fences and a limestone staircase with wrought iron. Besides the entry hall, the ground floor hosts a sitting room, drawing room, cloakroom, billiard room, and dining room. The main kitchen, secondary kitchen, pantry, and home office are also on the ground floor. There’s a fireplace in the dining, drawing, sitting, and billiard rooms.
On the second floor, you will find seven spacious attic bedrooms and another kitchen. A guest wing with more bedrooms, a bathroom area, a workshop, and store rooms are also available. Each of the 16 bedrooms is spacious and provides enough privacy. The private balconies in bedrooms offer a perfect zone to sip your coffee as you enjoy the grand views.
As you’d expect in any large estate, entertainment spaces, including a well-equipped entertainment lounge, are readily available in the Aultmore house.
Outside Bob Dylan’s Scottish Highland estate is well-landscaped land with stone pavilions, three cottages, statues, and fountains. The outside environment is serene and surrounded by mature forests with breathtaking mountain views within the national park.
There’s active birdlife in the forest, and ospreys are the main bird species here. The national park mountain offers plenty of hiking and biking opportunities, so this is a perfect home for you if you enjoy outdoor activities.
This property is private and well-secluded, and the neighboring Nethy Bridge village offers plenty of amenities like shops, restaurants, and pubs.
