In 1997, the legendary Bob Dylan expressed his affinity for Scotland through his iconic song “Highlands,” where he declared, “Well my heart’s in the Highland, I’m gonna go there when I feel good enough to go.” This love for the country prompted him to purchase a property known as the Aultmore House in 2006, alongside his brother, for $2.9 million. However, as Dylan, now 82, grows older, he is choosing to part ways with his beloved Scottish home and resides mostly in Malibu with his wife, Carolyn Dennis.
This decision coincides with Dylan’s ongoing worldwide tour, Rough and Rowdy Ways, set to conclude in 2024. His most recent performance took place in Rome on July 9th of this year, with no future tour dates scheduled. Sources close to Dylan suggest that this may be his final tour.
The estate encompasses an expansive 25 acres of land and boasts a grandeur exceeding 18,000 square feet. Stepping into the home, one is greeted by a stunning grand foyer adorned with marble flooring and a cozy fireplace. The property showcases exquisite details throughout, including intricate plasterwork on the ceilings, archways, and timber floors, maintaining its original charm from the early 1900s.
With 16 bedrooms and 11 baths, the residence is now available for purchase, listed at $3.9 million. Although Dylan only utilized the property for a few weeks each year, it holds a significant place in his heart. Accessible via a long driveway meandering through the surrounding forest, the estate provides a serene and private setting.
The home encompasses a variety of amenities, such as a billiards room, drawing room, garden room, primary and secondary kitchens, and a guest or staff wing. Additionally, there are offices, a workshop, an old coal cellar, and even a music room, catering to diverse needs and interests. The property also features detached structures like a Victorian greenhouse, an orchard, a walled garden, a fountain, and a well-maintained croquet lawn. Further complementing the estate are three four-bedroom cottages.
Tom Stewart-Moore from Knight Frank is responsible for listing this extraordinary property. For inquiries and further information, interested parties can reach out to him. It is worth noting that a representative for Dylan has declined to comment on the sale.
As one of the most celebrated musicians of all time, Dylan’s illustrious career includes numerous accolades such as the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016, 10 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. His decision to part ways with his Scottish abode marks a new chapter in his life, as he continues to leave an indelible mark on the music industry and beyond.
