Novar House, Category B listed mansion in Evanton, Scotland.

Novar House stands as a three-story classical building with a square shape, featuring a ballroom and surrounded by 20,000 acres of estate grounds.

The property, built on the site of a former castle, gained its current form in 1765 when Sir Hector Munro reconstructed it after returning from India.

The painter J.M.W. Turner created several artworks of Novar House in 1831, capturing the structure and its surrounding Highland landscapes in detail.

The estate maintains 150 miles of paths and tracks, offering access to forest areas and operating a hydroelectric scheme within the property.

Between 1788 and 1792, Sir Hector Munro planted 778,000 firs and Scots pine trees, establishing the foundation of the current woodland landscape.
