Set within generous, beautifully maintained gardens with ample private parking, this charming home enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting with breath-taking views towards Stob Coire Easain and Stob a’ Choire Mheadhoin. Constructed in 2006 in a traditional Highland style using modern building techniques, the property has been meticulously maintained and is presented in excellent, move-in condition throughout.

The principal bedroom benefits from a dedicated dressing room, creating a luxurious private retreat. A particularly attractive feature is the generous open-plan first-floor living space. Currently arranged as an additional sitting area and office space, the room incorporates a bespoke-built workspace and excellent built-in storage. Highly adaptable, it could equally serve as a home office or creative studio taking full advantage of the property’s Ultrafast Broadband connectivity, or a children’s playroom, guest accommodation or further bedroom. Whether sought as a permanent residence, an idyllic Highland escape, or a high-quality investment within the thriving self-catering holiday market, Torr an Daimh Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines lifestyle, comfort and exceptional natural surroundings.
Torr an Daimh Cottage enjoys an enviable position within the peaceful hamlet of Tulloch, just off the A86 between Fort William and Kingussie. Surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, the property sits in an area renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Red squirrels are frequent visitors to the gardens, while deer, pine martens, and birds of prey are regularly seen in the surrounding landscape, with the occasional sighting of otters in the stream. The nearby village of Roy Bridge, approximately four miles away, provides The Glen Roy Café, a friendly village café, recently under new ownership serving coffee, tea, baking, sandwiches and useful local staples, while Spean Bridge, around six miles distant, offers a wider range of facilities including hotels, cafés, restaurants, a Spar convenience store and a highly regarded primary school and nursery. Fort William, the Outdoor Capital of the UK, lies approximately 25 minutes away by car, providing extensive shopping, leisure and healthcare facilities, together with access to Ben Nevis, Nevis Range Mountain Resort and world-class outdoor pursuits. Excellent transport links further enhance the property’s appeal. The A86 and nearby A9 provide straightforward access to Scotland’s major cities, while Tulloch Railway Station, located just moments from the property, lies on the iconic West Highland Line, offering one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys, including the renowned Caledonian Sleeper service connecting directly with London.
