“Cairn View goes that extra step to ensure that not only are the houses constructed in an eco-friendly way, but their future maintenance and management has been taken into account to make sure they are easy on the environment and easy on the pocket for the owner,” said Deveron Homes sales director Lynne Holburn.

“The setting is unrivalled and gives people the chance to make a lifestyle choice which offers the best of the countryside on the doorstep and the convenience of a close-to-town location.”

Lynne added: “The wonderful thing about this development is that many of the buyers to date have been local people and that is a great endorsement of the homes we are adding to the community.”

Cairn View is located just off the B993 and within easy reach of Kemnay village centre with its thriving community featuring a range of shops and amenities.
