Few places in the Highlands combine tranquillity, landscape and accessibility as successfully as Bunloit.
Perched above the western shore of Loch Ness and surrounded by rolling countryside, this small elevated community offers a quieter side of Highland living while remaining only a short drive from Drumnadrochit and within commuting distance of Inverness.
Tigh Ban occupies an enviable position within that landscape.
Set within approximately 2.5 acres, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across Loch Ness towards Foyers, with changing light, weather and seasons constantly reshaping the outlook.
It is a home that has clearly been designed to make the most of its surroundings.
Over recent years the house has been thoughtfully extended and modernised, creating accommodation that feels contemporary while retaining the warmth and practicality expected from a Highland family home.
At the centre of the property is a spacious kitchen and dining room where shaker style cabinetry, a breakfast bar and modern appliances combine with a log burning stove to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Large sliding doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the dramatic Loch Ness views to become part of everyday life.
The adjoining lounge provides another opportunity to appreciate the scenery.
A recessed stove with a Caithness slate hearth forms a natural focal point, while large windows frame the landscape beyond.
Beyond the lounge, a bright sun room currently serves as a home office, offering a peaceful place to work while remaining connected to the surrounding countryside.
The accommodation is arranged with flexibility in mind.
The ground floor principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room and direct access outdoors, while three further bedrooms upstairs ensure there is ample space for family life, visiting guests or changing needs over time.
Throughout the house there is a sense of comfort and practicality that makes it feel ready for modern living.
Outside, the land attached to the property adds another dimension entirely.
Enclosed gardens, paddocks and stables create opportunities rarely found within easy reach of Inverness.
For those with equestrian interests, smallholding ambitions or simply a desire for more outdoor space, the setting provides scope and versatility in equal measure.
The detached garage, gravel driveway and fenced grounds reinforce the feeling that this is a property designed to embrace country living.
Bunloit itself remains one of Loch Ness’s quieter corners.
The road through the hamlet carries little traffic and also forms part of the Great Glen Way, offering direct access to walking routes and some of Scotland’s most celebrated scenery.
Nearby Drumnadrochit provides shops, schools, cafés, healthcare and local services, while Loch Ness itself offers opportunities for boating, fishing, cycling and exploring the wider Great Glen.
What makes Tigh Ban particularly appealing is the balance it achieves.
It combines spectacular views with practical family accommodation, modern improvements with rural character, and a sense of seclusion without sacrificing accessibility.
For anyone seeking a Highland lifestyle centred around landscape, space and a closer connection to nature, it presents an increasingly rare opportunity.
The property is being marketed by Innes & Mackay, with full details, photographs and viewing information available through the official listing.
