Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, Bearnock Lodge presents an extraordinary opportunity for those seeking a luxurious retreat or a lucrative business venture. This secluded country mansion, set amidst picturesque woodland and private grounds, offers a perfect blend of tranquillity and accessibility. Located just 6 miles from the charming village of Drumnadrochit and 7 miles from the famous Loch Ness, the property enjoys a prime position in Glen Urquhart. The area boasts excellent amenities, including Glen Urquhart High School, a comprehensive secondary school in Drumnadrochit, as well as a medical practice, pharmacy, and local shops nearby. While there is no direct rail link, Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, is a mere 30-minute drive away, offering extensive transport connections. The nearest airport is Inverness, approximately 26 miles from the lodge.

Bearnock Lodge stands as a testament to the perfect fusion of modern luxury and rich history. Since 2009, the current owners have meticulously restored this grand country home, creating a truly remarkable property that seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary elegance. The ground floor of the main house boasts an array of exquisite spaces, including a welcoming entrance hall, an oak-lined drawing room, two kitchen/sitting rooms, a spacious panelled dining room, an office, utility room, two WCs, and a bar area for sophisticated entertaining. Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a super king-size bed and en-suite bathroom, a four-poster king-size bedroom with en-suite facilities, and various other comfortable sleeping arrangements to accommodate families and guests.

In addition to the main house, Bearnock Lodge offers two charming auxiliary accommodations. Waterfall Cottage, perched above the detached double garage, features an open-plan living area with glass doors opening onto decking, offering stunning views of the waterfall and surrounding landscape. The cosy Log Cabin provides additional accommodation with a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a shower room. These separate cottages and cabins allow for a flexible owner-occupier arrangement, providing a balance between personal use and income generation.

Bearnock Lodge presents an exceptional business opportunity for new owners. Currently operated as an exclusive holiday let through Sykes Cottages, this impressive property commands premium rates of up to £8,000 per week during peak seasons, reflecting its high-end appeal and excellent reviews. The property's versatility offers multiple avenues for potential expansion and diversification. New owners could continue the successful holiday let model or transform the lodge into a boutique hotel or guest house. Furthermore, the property is ideally suited for hosting intimate events, particularly stunning weddings, with its picturesque setting and expansive grounds allowing for outdoor celebrations with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Bearnock Lodge offers the discerning buyer an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Highland luxury. With its perfect balance of period features and modern amenities, this property truly represents the pinnacle of country living in one of Scotland's most idyllic settings. The combination of its prime location, versatile accommodation, and significant business potential makes Bearnock Lodge a rare and valuable investment opportunity in the thriving Scottish tourism market.
