Summary - Silverdale, Farr, Inverness, IV2 IV2 6XG
7 bed 6 bath Detached
High-spec 7-bed modern farmhouse on vast private woodland near Inverness.
- Seven bedrooms, three reception rooms, six bathrooms
Silverdale is a substantial modern-farmhouse family home set within expansive private woodland near Farr, just south of Inverness. Built about 15 years ago to a high specification, the house offers seven bedrooms, three reception rooms, six bathrooms and generous living space across about 8,167 sq ft. Quality finishes include teak flooring, porcelain tiling, stone fireplaces, glass chandeliers and a Welsh slate roof. A self-contained two-bedroom annexe provides flexible guest, multi-generational or holiday-let accommodation.
The estate offers genuine rural seclusion with extensive coniferous woodland, rolling heathland, a pond and abundant wildlife — yet Inverness city centre and its transport links remain within easy reach. Heating is provided by biomass and the property benefits from a private mineral-quality water supply. Two sale options suit different buyers: the entire estate (offers over £1,150,000) or the house with about 40 acres (offers over £950,000), with the remaining circa 80 acres available separately for forestry, recreation or investment.
Practical considerations are important. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working or streaming; EPC rating is D; council tax is described as very expensive; and the wider area is classified as very deprived. The house’s size and extensive grounds require ongoing maintenance and management, particularly if purchasing the full estate. These factors are balanced by strong privacy, scope for outdoor pursuits, and potential forestry or leisure income from the land.
Silverdale will suit buyers seeking a private, high-spec family home with substantial land and flexible accommodation — those prepared for rural utilities and the upkeep that accompanies a large property. It also offers potential for continued holiday-let use of the annexe or for selective forestry and recreational development across the wider acreage.
