Outside, the Coach House has been sympathetically developed, and offers a hall and open plan kitchen/dining area, two bedrooms and a mezzanine sitting area - this is currently a successful holiday let.
The grounds comprise just over nine acres and include the Dhivach Burn and Falls; the falls are 30m high and lie in the wooded gorge below the house. Ancient woodland includes magnificent oak and birch, while the burn forms the eastern boundary.
Dhivach Lodge sits in the dramatic hills which rise up from Loch Ness on the Great Glen fault line, amongst some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery. The woodlands and waterfalls provide a perfect habitat for a wonderful range of flora and fauna.
Drumnadrochit is just two miles and has good local shops, while Inverness is 15 miles and the airport 25 miles away.
The guide price is £850,000. For further information please contact Strutt & Parker on 01463 719171 or visit www.struttandparker.com.
