Scatwell, Strathconon, IV6 7QG

Nestled in the very heart of Strathconon, The Bothy, Scatwell is a beautifully presented terraced steading conversion forming part of the original residential Scatwell Estate. Surrounded by some of the most breathtaking Highland scenery, this unique home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful rural living with nature quite literally on your doorstep.

The property has an immediate “wow” factor from the moment you step through the front door, opening into a stunning lounge with a vaulted ceiling that creates a remarkable sense of space and light. An efficient wood-burning stove forms a cosy focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings. The interiors have been thoughtfully styled to reflect the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, bringing warmth and character throughout. Wildlife is abundant, with regular visits from squirrels, woodpeckers, cuckoos and red kites, while birdsong provides a constant and tranquil backdrop to daily life.

At the heart of the home lies a generously proportioned dining kitchen, ideal for both family living and entertaining, with ample space to comfortably seat up to 12 guests. Also on the ground floor, a versatile room, previously used as the primary bedroom with en-suite, it offers flexibility as either once again becoming the primary bedroom, additional guest accommodation or a bright summer reception space/lounge, with patio doors opening seamlessly onto a covered deck.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two large double bedrooms, both featuring built-in storage, and a well-appointed family shower room. These are accessed via an open landing, enhancing the sense of space and flow within the home.

Further practical features include an entrance porch, a rear utility area, and modern, energy-efficient systems, including a Vaillant air source heat pump and solar thermal panels to provide domestic hot water. The outdoor space is equally appealing, with a mix of grassed and paved areas, mature planting, and opportunities for vegetable growing. A standout feature is the elevated, bespoke garden office, complete with its own wood-burning stove, Wi-Fi connectivity, and lovely views across the surrounding grounds, ideal for home working or creative pursuits. Additional wooden outbuildings provide useful storage, and an electric vehicle charging point is also installed.

Whether as a permanent residence, a peaceful holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity for rental income, The Bothy represents a truly special property in an exceptional Highland setting. Despite its tranquil location, it remains conveniently accessible, with Inverness airport and key transport links within easy reach.

A rare blend of charm, sustainability and lifestyle, The Bothy is Highland living at its finest.
