Rosemarkie is a charming former fishing village known for its scenic coastal environment. It provides essential amenities such as a local shop, pub, café, and access to a long sandy beach along with walking trails through beautiful woodlands leading to waterfalls. Nearby Fortrose expands on these offerings with its harbor, yacht club, esteemed secondary school, and golf course.

The property sits on approximately five acres of grounds and includes a spacious layout featuring generous reception rooms and a dining kitchen that frame remarkable views over the water.
