Any one want to buy me Bob Dylan's house in Scotland?

Bob's Highland Retreat is up for sale. I'm not a huge fan of very large houses, but this has a cosier air than you'd expect.
Anyone fancy chipping in?

Beautiful location to live in. Not that keen on the house, but oh my, that greenhouse!
Lovely little duck race held in the village and a beautiful little golf course. Do you think if I popped in for a chat he might show me round 😁

Well, when you have bought it, you can turn it into a Mumsnetters' retreat!

Wash your mouth out! Of course he's still alive!

It really does look like a hotel, no personality at all. I wonder if he hasn't used it for years and it's just set up for show? Intrigued to know how someone has stayed there!

I love big old houses but not keen on this one. Although I'll take the glasshouse!

Another one who isn't fussed for the house, but oh my, the greenhouse!!

More about it here. It has been let out during the summer.

Is he still alive? He's just turned 82 and still touring. Amazing. I'm not going to say his death will get the blanket coverage we saw when the Queen died, but it will be a massive news story. He is one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known and fully deserved his Nobel Prize for Literature.

He probably doesn't have time to use it, he seems to be constantly touring, apart from during Covid, we see him in October in concert, no sign of any retirement.

I would love that house, but my husband has just said no. I'm sure we could have rustled up £3m+ from somewhere ...

Imagine the heating bills! Not a bad price but the upkeep would be eye-watering.

This was featured in The Times property section yesterday. He owns fabulous homes across the world and recently sold his back catalogue for a vast, vast sum.

It's a fab house but you'd need an army of cleaners, gardeners etc. It would cost a lot to maintain it, aside from the initial purchase price.

It's very boring! Although the greenhouse and parts of the grounds look lovely.

Thanks for the thought, but I could not live in Scotland or the north of England because of the earlier winter darkness.

Would make a lovely hotel.

That’s a really lovely house. So many houses in that price range need to be gutted to remove the ‘style’ of the previous owners - fugly six figure kitchens and bathrooms that you’d need to wear shades in.

£3m is a steal! (Compared to prices round this way)

The small kitchen is in one of the smaller houses in the grounds

This is the most unrock n roll house I have ever seen! Wonder if Johnny's in the basement at least?
