The Storied Garth

About this property

There are Scottish country houses, and then there is The Storied Garth. Set within 12 acres of private riverside grounds in The Trossachs National Park, this extraordinary Baronial mansion is a destination in its own right. Owned by a renowned musician and his wife, it combines historic grandeur with bold creativity, offering an unforgettable setting where classic architecture meets cinematic design and eclectic luxury.

Behind its distinctive towers lies a home unlike any other. Twelve individually designed bedrooms, including five sumptuous suites, each tell their own story through carefully curated décor, rich fabrics and exceptional attention to detail. Throughout the house, contemporary artwork sits comfortably alongside classic furnishings, while playful surprises await around every corner. Discover the striking Alien sculpture commanding the main lounge, admire the Marilyn Monroe mural adorning one of the luxurious bathrooms, or relive musical history in the Beatles inspired games room filled with vintage style arcade machines.

Life at The Storied Garth is designed around memorable shared experiences. Gather for spectacular dinners around the dining table, unwind beside the woodburning fire in the main lounge, or enjoy drinks at the private bar before settling into the dedicated cinema room. Guests can also make use of the fully equipped gym, elegant morning room with baby grand piano, quiet library, stylish kitchen and multiple entertainment spaces.

Outside, the estate is every bit as impressive. Secure, manicured grounds are framed by rare specimen trees from around the world, while the River Teith flows along the western boundary with glorious views towards Ben Ledi. Fire pits, outdoor chess and garden walks invite guests to embrace both relaxation and nature in equal measure.

Just moments from the charming town of Callander, often described as the gateway to the Highlands, guests are perfectly placed to explore one of Scotland's most celebrated landscapes. From ancient forests and sparkling lochs to world class walking routes, literary landmarks and dramatic mountain scenery, the surrounding area offers endless opportunities for adventure before returning to the comfort and character of this remarkable private estate.

Whether you're planning a milestone celebration or simply an unforgettable getaway, The Storied Garth offers a stay that is both distinctive and extraordinarily beautiful. 

At the gateway to the Trossachs National Park, this beautiful house enjoys an exceptional setting in one of Scotland's most celebrated landscapes. Designated by the Scottish Government as an area of 'Outstanding National Importance', this remarkable region is where the Scottish Lowlands meet the Highlands, creating a breathtaking backdrop of ancient forests, shimmering lochs and dramatic mountain peaks. Rich in literary heritage, these inspiring landscapes influenced Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake and Rob Roy, while today they continue to captivate visitors with their timeless beauty.

The bustling town of Callander (2.5km) is the perfect base for discovering the area, offering a welcoming selection of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and local amenities. Surrounded by scenic countryside, the region is ideal for outdoor adventures, with excellent opportunities for cycling, walking and wildlife spotting right on your doorstep. Whether you're exploring peaceful woodland trails or taking in panoramic viewpoints, every route showcases the area's remarkable natural beauty.

Nature lovers will be spoilt for choice with Loch Venachar (6km) and Loch Lubnaig (8km) both within easy reach, each offering tranquil waters framed by rolling hills and native woodland. The Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and Glen Finglas Estate provide outstanding walking routes through diverse landscapes, from ancient woodlands to open moorland, with abundant wildlife and unforgettable scenery. With 21 Munros and countless lochs scattered throughout the Trossachs National Park, this is a paradise for those seeking Scotland's iconic Highland landscapes.

Loch Lomond is just a 45-minute drive away, where picturesque villages, scenic cruises and waterside walks await. For a change of pace, the historic city of Stirling (24km) is home to its magnificent castle, fascinating heritage attractions and vibrant cafés and restaurants.
