There is something quietly reassuring about the landscape around Whiteinch, where the River Findhorn meets the Moray Firth and the pace of life is shaped more by the changing tides than the passing hours.

Just a few miles from Forres, this small rural community enjoys the best of both worlds, offering open countryside and coastal scenery while remaining close to everyday amenities, making it an appealing place for anyone seeking space without feeling isolated.

Wagtail Lodge sits comfortably within this peaceful setting, surrounded by approximately an acre of gardens and grounds that give the property a sense of privacy and freedom while remaining connected to the wider community.

Built in a traditional log cabin style, the home feels warm, welcoming and uncomplicated, with large areas of glazing allowing natural light to fill the living spaces and constantly draw the surrounding landscape indoors.

At the centre of the property is an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area that naturally becomes the heart of the home, creating a space equally suited to quiet evenings as it is to gathering family and friends around the table.

Sliding doors open directly onto a southwest facing deck where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings can be spent watching the changing light across the gardens.

The two double bedrooms continue the calm atmosphere found throughout the property, with the principal bedroom enjoying its own ensuite while the family bathroom provides a comfortable and thoughtfully designed space for everyday living.

Outside, generous lawns, young trees, flowering borders and sheltered seating areas provide plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, whether tending the garden, relaxing with a book or simply appreciating the peace that comes with this corner of Moray.

One of the property’s most unusual attractions is the planning permission already granted for a new home to be connected to the existing lodge by a glazed walkway, creating exciting possibilities for future expansion while allowing buyers the flexibility to shape the property around changing family or lifestyle needs.

The surrounding area offers no shortage of reasons to explore, with Findhorn Beach only a short drive away, the sheltered waters of the estuary attracting wildlife throughout the year, and the nearby village of Findhorn providing cafés, local shops and a thriving sailing community.

Forres itself has long been regarded as one of the most attractive towns in the north of Scotland, offering independent shops, restaurants, schools, parks and excellent transport connections, while Inverness and Elgin remain easily accessible along the A96.

What makes Wagtail Lodge particularly appealing is that it already feels complete as a comfortable Highland home while also offering the rare opportunity to create something even more substantial in one of the most peaceful settings on the Moray coast.
