Elie House, Category A listed country house in Elie, Scotland.

The stone building extends over three stories with a five-bay frontage and includes modifications from both 1770 and 1854 periods.

Judge Sir William Anstruther commissioned the construction of Elie House in 1697, establishing a residence that remained in his family until 1853.

The property reflects the architectural evolution of Scottish country houses through its various modifications, including the addition of a chapel in 1958.

The house underwent conversion into 13 residential apartments in 2012, adapting the historical structure for modern living requirements.

Local traditions tell of a curse placed on the house by a resident of Balclevie hamlet, which was cleared to improve the estate's views.
