A Highland Retreat Overlooking Loch Ness

Few places capture the imagination quite like Loch Ness.

Stretching for more than twenty miles through the Great Glen, its deep waters, surrounding forests and dramatic hills have made it one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes, attracting visitors from around the world while remaining a place that many simply dream of calling home.

Set above the village of Foyers, Sealladh an Loch enjoys an elevated position where panoramic views extend across woodland, mountains and towards the waters of Loch Ness.

Surrounded by approximately half an acre of private grounds, the property combines generous living space with a setting that feels immersed in the Highland landscape.

The approach immediately creates a sense of arrival.

A sweeping driveway leads through mature gardens to a substantial contemporary home that has been designed to make the most of both its position and its outlook.

Inside, the accommodation unfolds around a striking reception hall, where a dual staircase and polished stone flooring establish a feeling of space from the moment you step through the door.

Beyond, the layout has been planned to balance everyday family life with entertaining on a much larger scale.

The open plan kitchen and dining room form the heart of the house.

Granite worktops, a central island and quality appliances create a practical workspace, while the adjoining conservatory draws the surrounding countryside into the home through expansive glazing.

Whether enjoying breakfast as the morning mist lifts from the hills or gathering with friends in the evening, the changing landscape remains a constant companion.

The sitting room offers a quieter retreat, centred around a log burning stove that brings warmth and character during the colder months.

Throughout the property, large windows ensure that natural light fills the interior while maintaining a close connection to the scenery beyond.

With six bedrooms, four of them benefiting from ensuite facilities, the house offers exceptional flexibility for family life, visiting guests or those seeking space to work from home.

The current owners have also successfully operated the property as a five star holiday rental, demonstrating its appeal to visitors seeking a luxury Highland experience.

Outside, the grounds continue to impress.

A generous decked terrace and paved patio provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining, while pathways lead through gardens and a wildflower meadow towards an elevated viewing point where panoramic vistas stretch across the surrounding mountains and towards Loch Ness.

Mature trees, open lawns and carefully planned planting reinforce the sense of privacy without isolating the property from the wider community.

Foyers remains one of the Great Glen’s most attractive villages.

A local shop, café, post office and traditional inn serve the community, while nearby Fort Augustus offers additional amenities.

Inverness is comfortably within reach, providing shopping, schools, transport links and an international airport while allowing residents to return each day to one of Scotland’s most celebrated landscapes.

What makes Sealladh an Loch exceptional is the way it embraces its surroundings.

It is a home designed to celebrate light, space and scenery, offering an opportunity to experience Highland living at its very best while overlooking one of the world’s most famous lochs.

The property is being marketed by Strutt & Parker.
