Many long table lunches and family gatherings have made this a truly special place, which is now awaiting its next lucky owners. Take this opportunity to join a small neighbourhood and community in a tightly held area of the Highlands.
The weatherboard home was renovated in 2004 under the guidance of a local architect and local builder and has an extremely good floor plan allowing for easy entertaining and relaxation.
