At Little Cantray on Culloden Moor, just beyond Inverness, Doura Lodge sits within open countryside, where the land stretches out and the city remains close without intruding.
From its position, the house looks across fields towards the Culloden Viaduct, a landmark that anchors the view and gives a sense of distance without isolation.
Set within its own grounds, the property has a presence that comes from its setting rather than display, with space around it that allows it to sit comfortably in the landscape.
The design of the house follows the contours of the site, arranged across split levels that create a natural flow between living and private spaces.
On the upper level, the main living areas come together, with a lounge that opens into a kitchen and dining space, forming the centre of the home.
Light moves easily through this part of the house, with wide windows and doors drawing in the surrounding landscape and extending the sense of space beyond the walls.
A balcony sits off the main living area, offering a place to step out and take in the view, where the viaduct and countryside become part of the everyday backdrop.
A separate room on this level provides a quieter space for work or reading, set slightly apart while remaining connected to the rest of the home.
The layout allows for flexibility, with a bedroom suite also positioned on this floor, offering an option for single level living when needed.
Below, the house shifts into a more private arrangement, with further bedrooms arranged to take advantage of the same open outlook across the surrounding land.
Each room carries a sense of light and space, with doors in some areas opening directly onto the garden, reinforcing the connection between inside and out.
Additional rooms provide scope for different uses, whether as workspace, studio, or simply as part of the wider living arrangement that the house allows.
The practical side of the home is integrated without disruption, with utility and storage spaces placed where they support daily life without drawing attention.
The construction reflects a more modern approach, with energy efficiency built into the structure, supporting both comfort and long term running.
Outside, the grounds extend around the house, offering both open areas and more sheltered corners, with enough space to shape according to how the property is used.
The wider setting of Culloden provides access to local amenities, schooling, and services, while Inverness remains a short drive away for everything else.
For those moving between city and countryside, the location offers a balance that is often difficult to find, with both within easy reach.
This is a home defined by its position and its layout, offering space, light, and flexibility in a setting that remains quietly connected to the Highlands around it.
The property is being marketed by Tailormade Moves Ltd, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
