The historic building was destroyed by a fire in 1878, rebuilt in 1880, and later, converted to a hotel in 1981.
The hotel operates as a luxurious five-star spa and offers an award-winning restaurant and recreation facilities, including tennis and pickleball.
The estate lies on rural grounds near Dunblane, Stirlingshire, Scotland, and features a traditional estate lodge with four reception rooms, six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
It was even famed for its healing mineral water during the 1800s, as reported by Luxury Property News.
Now the estate, with potential for farming, forestry, renewable energy, residential development and sporting activities, is available in three lots or as a whole, Land for Chartered Land and Forestry Agency said.
“Cromlix Estate is a well-rounded estate set in a private position surrounded by stunning countryside,” the agent said.
“It consists of residential, agricultural, forestry and sporting aspects, with scope for renewable development and to expand the residential and forestry portfolio.
“The estate has been enjoyed and owned by the Eden family and their ancestors, the Hay-Drummonds, since the 1500s.”
The estate encompasses 1,346 acres and is centred around Cromlix Lodge.
Landfor said: “This cherished family home is set amongst stunning gardens which feature a tennis court, picturesque loch and a charming boathouse.
“A short distance from the lodge is a terrace of two residential properties and an adjoining workshop/store.
“To the east at Cromlix Home Farm, Home Farm Cottage and Poultry Cottage complete the residential portfolio.
“Adjacent is a modest range of both modern and traditional farm buildings, which provide livestock housing, stabling and versatile storage to support estate and farming operations.
“The land at Cromlix is used for a mixture of livestock farming, forestry and sport.
“It rises from circa 90 metres at the Allan Water to 250 metres above sea level.
“The terrain is scattered with four lochs and various burns including the Bracklin Burn and Lodge Burn.
“The land comprises permanent pasture, rough grazing and woodland.
“The combination of forestry and open ground, coupled with the gently sloping and rolling nature of the landscape is well suited for an estate shoot.
“A small shooting syndicate has been run across the estate by the family for the last 18 years.
“Typically around 800 birds are put down and reared supplying shoot days of up to 50 birds.
“As well as game shooting, there is potential for roe and red deer stalking throughout the estate.
“In addition to agriculture, forestry and sport, the land may have the potential to generate renewable energy through solar power production, given the proximity to the national grid.”
Cromlix Estate is available in three lots or as a whole, with lot one – the lodge and farm – at £3.5million, lot two Muckle Hill at £2.1million and lot three Bracklin Hill at £900,000.
