Set on an elevated riverside plot within the Cairngorms, this two-bedroom lodge offers immediate turnkey comfort and extensive outdoor living. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen opens through bifold doors onto a long wrap-around deck with shaded canopy — designed for uninterrupted views and alfresco entertaining. Both bedrooms are doubles with en-suite showers; the master has direct deck access. Practical extras include under-lodge storage with utilities, parking for two cars and LPG central heating.
This unit carries a full residential licence (subject to conditions) and comes with site fees paid until November 2027. That said, the lease has only 20 years remaining. Many mainstream mortgage lenders refuse to lend on short leases, so purchasers should expect to fund the purchase in cash or arrange specialist lending. The annual site charge works out at about £7,200, which is above average and should be budgeted for.
The setting is a major draw: quiet, woodlined riverside within reach of Blair Atholl amenities and the A9 rail link. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. The lodge suits someone seeking a peaceful Highland base for retirement or seasonal use, or an investor able to manage lease and lending constraints.
Buyers must weigh the exceptional location and ready-to-live-in specification against the material lease and cost factors. The property presents solid lifestyle appeal but limited mortgageability and notable ongoing costs that affect affordability and resale prospects.
