The property, which has been built on the site of Diana, Princess of Wales' late grandmother's former home, extends to over 30,000 square feet, surrounded by about 10 acres of trees and woodland.

Aberdeen Live's report shows that inside the ex- Aberdeen chairman's mansion, there is a spa complex and swimming pool alongside staff accommodation.

The property also includes period-style features and detailing, from curved wood panelling, marquetry, veneers, carvings, intricate plasterwork to a stained-glass cupola and elaborate fireplaces.On the ground floor, a stunning marble-floored reception hall greets visitors complete with 20 marble columns and a grand marble central horseshoe staircase.A formal banqueting-style dining room seats 26 with the building also boasting an atmospheric library and family space with a custom-made walnut kitchen.Upstairs there is an upper gallery, a cocktail bar and a reading lounge.All of this is surrounded by expanses of lawn and paved terraces and a European-style internal courtyard.Fiona Gormley, of Savills Aberdeen, said: "The sheer scale and finish of this sumptuous house is hugely impressive and yet the clever design and layout mean the space does not overwhelm: informal and supremely comfortable family rooms balance with wonderful entertaining areas."A modern-built house of this stature is utterly unique in Scotland and It's an extraordinary achievement.
