Description

Balnafoich House is a spacious six-bedroom home extending over 4,000 sq ft, set in a prime location with breathtaking views of Loch Ness. This property offers significant renovation and investment potential, particularly with its two large outbuildings, which could be transformed for various uses pending the necessary permissions. The design maximizes the stunning views from multiple reception areas, including a well-appointed living room with a wood-burning stove and French doors leading to the garden, alongside a unique sitting room that features a panoramic viewing space within a conical turret. The kitchen and breakfast room provide ample opportunity for modern upgrades with bespoke wooden cabinetry and full-height glazing that frames the picturesque landscape. The ground floor includes utility space and two inviting bedrooms served by a shower room, while the first floor hosts four additional double bedrooms. Among these is an impressive principal suite complete with en suite facilities. Ample parking leads to the outbuildings—a traditional stone stable block and barn—both ripe for development, further enhancing the property's appeal as an investment. Externally, the grounds offer extensive gardens and terraces that showcase extraordinary loch views. Situated in Dores village on Loch Ness's northeastern shore, this residence is conveniently located near local amenities such as schools and restaurants, with Inverness only eight miles away for broader services. Accessibility is good with Inverness Airport nearby for domestic travel and connections to London via rail.
