5 bedroom detached house for sale

Kincraig is a quiet Highland village located off the A9 Inverness to Perth trunk route and approximately 6 miles from the busy tourist resort of Aviemore.  It is located adjacent to the Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve – one of the most important wetlands in Europe - and the Loch Insh Watersports Centre, a popular holiday and sporting destination. Socially the village has an extremely popular Italian café/gallery and a friendly and cosy village pub. The village hall is a centre for events, clubs, classes and occasions hosted by the welcoming Kincraig community.

Tigh Tuithe is located 3 miles east of the small village of Kincraig in the small hamlet of Feshie Bridge, lying at the foot of Craig Mhigeachaidh – 'the whispering mountain'. The house is nestled in a very private and secluded position within the Cairngorms National Park. The local area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and local attractions and facilities include mountain activities, cycling, skiing, water sports, fishing, pony trekking, deer stalking, shooting and additional fishing can be organized on the nearby estates. 

The property looks onto the gliding airstrip & the South facing bowl is rated as one of the UK's top mountain glide sites. The Cairngorm ski centre is approximately 15 miles away and the Loch Insh Watersports centre is just 2miles from the property.

We’re offering an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a property with unrivalled & uninterrupted views of an area often referred to as the “jewel in the crown of the Cairngorms”. Properties in this part of the Highlands, rarely come onto the market. 

“Tigh Tuithe” is a detached 3 bedroom villa with a self-contained 2 bedroom annex. Whilst now requiring a scheme of refurbishment, it offers a fantastic opportunity with considerable scope for renovation with potential for holiday letting or a delightful family home. 

The property was ahead of its time when built in the 1980’s. The futuristic earth-sheltered eco-design was architecturally designed by local architect Duncan Fraser with UFH, triple-glazing and in recent years a water-source heat pump was fitted. This system extracts energy directly from the watercourse, Allt a'Mharcaidh, a salmon spawning stream which runs through the grounds & drains to the River Feshie.

The surrounding landscape is a haven for wildlife & alive with birds such as the crested tit, tree pipit, skylark, wryneck, jay and crossbill to name a few. Closer to the woodlands are golden eagle, peregrine, dotterel, ptarmigan, red and black grouse and the capercaillie. In addition to red and roe deer the glen is home to mountain hare, brown hare, otter, badger, fox, wildcat, weasel, stoat, water vole, red squirrel, moles & pine martens.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the spectacular location on offer. Please be advised that viewings will be by strict appointment only and will be at the convenience of the owners.
