Aberdeenshire housebuilder Churchill Homes is to open the doors to its new South Ythsie development this weekend, inviting buyers to explore its architect-designed homes with panoramic countryside views.
Taken from the Gaelic word meaning sanctuary, The Caim Collection is a small hamlet of 3 and 4-bed homes, located a mile east of the village of Tarves and 30 minutes from Aberdeen’s city centre.
The doors to the luxurious Sheiling and Croft house styles will open to the public for an open weekend from this Friday, April 11 to Sunday, April 13, from 9am to 5pm daily.
Buyers are invited to enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles as they explore the newly built homes – and there’s even Easter treats for the kids!
Set to redefine countryside living, South Ythsie is perfect for those who appreciate both modern luxury and the beauty of rolling rural landscapes, but with convenient access to local amenities in both Pitmedden and Tarves.
Churchill Homes is also installing a new country-style path that will lead residents to The Shed gym and coffee shop, just a 10-minute walk away.
The collection has been thoughtfully designed to blend open plan living with multi-functional social spaces for entertaining, and quiet, private bedroom areas.
The homes’ exteriors draw on the surroundings and create a balance between traditional Scottish vernacular design – which uses local materials – and modern styling, combining contemporary aesthetics with practical, family-friendly layouts.
The designs have been inspired by nearby cottages and the stylish interior design takes its influence from the surrounding nature, while the exceptionally generous plot sizes provide plenty of outside space and room to breathe.
The flagship Sheiling house type has been designed by Aimee Pirie, Churchill Homes’ creative director. Aimee wanted to create spaces she would love to live in herself, which is evident in the design and finish of each property.
“We are delighted to be hosting an open weekend at South Ythsie, where the Caim Collection offers buyers the best of both worlds – modern, beautiful and sustainable spaces in a tranquil, rural setting,” she said. “I have designed each house as if it were my own. Rather than typical bungalows or family houses, these are memorable high-end homes with all the functions and accessories placed where they make most sense.”
“We are looking forward to welcoming buyers this weekend and helping them to customise and visualise their dream forever home so it can be shared and enjoyed for years to come.”
