Description

Nestled near the picturesque villages of Rosemarkie and Fortrose on the Black Isle, this six-bedroom property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. The area is well-known for its stunning geography, with panoramic views across the Moray Firth that stretch to Fort George and beyond to the scenic Cairngorms. From the property, residents can enjoy occasional dolphin sightings at Chanonry Point, which lies just a short distance away. Rosemarkie itself offers a charming coastal atmosphere, complete with a local shop, inviting pub, and a popular café. It boasts a long sandy beach that appeals to both locals and visitors alike. The nearby Fairy Glen provides an idyllic woodland walk leading to enchanting waterfalls. Fortrose enhances the appeal with additional amenities such as its harbor, yacht club, reputable secondary school, and a golf course. For those seeking more urban conveniences, Inverness is merely a twenty-minute drive away, providing access to comprehensive city services including an airport with flights throughout the UK and Europe. The Black Isle features lush rolling countryside interspersed with dramatic coastlines characterized by raised beaches and notable headlands. This diverse environment not only supports numerous wildlife species but also offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing in the Cairngorms National Park, and other adventure sports. Constructed in 2000 to a high standard, this substantial modern home sits on approximately five acres of grounds alongside an adjacent garage. While it has been well-maintained over the years, there is significant potential for modernization to enhance its appeal further. The ground floor includes generously sized reception rooms and a dining kitchen that take full advantage of the impressive views over the Moray Firth. With bedrooms located on both levels—featuring a master suite complete with balcony overlooking sunlit vistas—this property holds considerable promise for those looking to invest in a home that blends natural beauty with renovation potential.
