VIEWS AND GROUNDS SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY Inverness This rural property is located in the beautiful countryside around the hamlet of Abriachan close to Loch Ness, one of Scotland's biggest tourist attractions. The property is within easy commuting distance of Inverness (10 miles), the capital city of the Highlands. Acknowledged to be one of the fastest growing cities in Europe, Inverness provides a wide range of retail parks and supermarkets along with excellent cultural, educational, entertainment and medical facilities. Inverness is also well connected by road, rail and air to other UK & overseas destinations. The Scottish Highlands are a blessing to lovers of the outdoors with an easy escape to the winter and summer sports playgrounds of The Cairngorms National Park. The ruggedness of the North-West Highlands, often referred to as the last great wilderness in Europe, is also accessible with the area boasting some of the most beautiful beaches and mountains in Scotland. Abriachan Forest is within walking distance and has tree houses, a play area and a bird hide overlooking Loch Lait. Golfers are not forgotten about either with some of the most internationally famous iconic courses such as Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Castle Stuart a short drive away. Inverness itself also has three golf courses. Just 12 miles in the other direction, there is another golf course of Muir of Ord.
THE MAIN HOUSE This unique and versatile property represents a rare business opportunity with a great tourist potential in a beautiful part of The Highlands 3 miles from Loch Ness and 10 miles from Inverness. The current accommodation is shared over two separate buildings but offers great scope for further development. The main house is a stone built residence with barn attached (professionally drafted plans are available - planning permission would require application). The house consists of lounge, kitchen-diner, bedroom and family bathroom on the ground floor. The upper floor has been extended to include a further three bedrooms and a shower-room.

THE BUNGALOW The bungalow is a self-contained modern building planned at the outset to enable easy access. The exterior has been designed to match the traditional farmhouse look of the main property. The rooms are all on one level and comprise open-plan lounge/dining-room/kitchen, two bedrooms (one with an en-suite a disabled-friendly bath) and a separate shower-room. Both properties benefit from double-glazing. The main house has its own oil boiler and storage tank. It also has an open fire place. The bungalow has its own oil boiler, tank and electricity meter which allows for separate monitoring of usage. Additional development prospects are available as the property is very close to The Great Glen Way and Outline Planning Permission (now lapsed) was granted to build a walkers pit-stop with café, sleeping accommodation, manager s apartment, showers and toilets. It is expected and assumed that this planning permission can be readily re-instated. The property is located half way between Drumnadrochit and Inverness. With few facilities for the walkers in the area, it would have a captive client base and would certainly fill an existing gap. In addition to this, plans have also been drawn to allow the barn to be converted to provide further tourist accommodation so the potential available here is almost endless. More information can be accessed by following this link: http:www.theholisticpitstop.co.uk. This is not to forget that there is almost 6 acres of land included in the sale with amazing panoramic views for miles around and the surrounding natural habitat teaming with extensive wildlife. This would make a fantastic Bed & Breakfast/Guest House with further letting opportunities or even a beautiful home for an extended family.
