Kilmichael Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached stone villa set on approximately 5.5 acres at the edge of Drumnadrochit. The 1950s house retains period character—stone walls, an open fire in the lounge and a wood-burning stove in the kitchen—while benefiting from modern solar panels and good connectivity for remote working.
The extensive grounds include a traditional cottage, old mill and various outbuildings that offer genuine potential for equestrian use, market gardening or holiday-let conversion, subject to planning consent. The plot is a major asset: fenced, a mix of grass and woodland, mature trees and a private driveway with parking and turning area.
The main house requires upgrading throughout. Interior features such as dated carpets, 1950s fittings and general wear mean refurbishment is needed to unlock the property’s full value. Several outbuildings are in varying states of repair and the property uses mains electric with private drainage and a gas cylinder—buyers should allow for service and repair costs.
This home suits a family or buyer with vision who values space, privacy and a rural lifestyle within commuting distance of Inverness. Viewings are recommended for those comfortable with a renovation project and potential additional costs such as higher council tax and remedial works to outbuildings and grounds.
