1 The Sanctuary sits within the Loch Ness Highland Resort on Glendoe Road, a setting where forested slopes fall towards the water and the Monadhliath Mountains rise beyond.
From its elevated position the lodge looks out across one of Scotland’s most recognisable landscapes, yet the atmosphere within the park remains contained and quietly self assured.
This two bedroom Swift Whistler lodge is held on a twelve month leisure licence, allowing owners to enjoy the changing seasons around Loch Ness while remaining clear that it is a holiday retreat rather than a sole residence.
The exterior decking wraps around the lodge, extending the living space outward and creating natural places to sit, dine or step down towards the sheltered hot tub at the rear.
Inside, the design is contemporary and open, with a lounge centred around an electric feature fireplace and media wall that gently separates relaxation from dining without closing the space in.
The kitchen is arranged around an island unit with five ring gas burner and breakfast bar seating, and includes integrated appliances that make longer stays feel less temporary and more considered.
A separate utility room offers a practical buffer after a day walking forest tracks or exploring the shoreline, keeping the main living space calm and uncluttered.
The principal bedroom is arranged as a private suite, with a king size bed leading through to a walk in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom that includes a freestanding bath and separate shower beneath a skylight that draws natural light down from above.
The second bedroom provides two full size single beds and its own storage, while the family bathroom mirrors the finish of the en suite with walk in shower and heated towel rail.
Throughout, the tone is that of a well specified holiday home designed for comfort over show, with enough space for family or guests without feeling oversized.
The resort itself is set directly on Loch Ness, within reach of Fort Augustus and the wider Great Glen, where boating, cycling and hill walking shape the rhythm of days rather than traffic or timetables.
It is worth noting that ownership is by site licence and subject to annual fees, and that the property is intended for leisure use only, which frames it clearly as a retreat rather than a primary address.
For those seeking a Highland base that can also be sub let when not in use, the lodge offers a balance between private escape and managed income.
This is a home that leans into its setting, where mountain light and loch air do much of the work, and where time feels measured by weather and water rather than routine.
The property is being marketed by Bowland Properties, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
