Set on thirty-five acres with extensive outbuildings, Achalone Croft offers genuine crofting and family living in a renovated, move-in-ready home. The tastefully updated five-bedroom storey-and-a-half house combines rustic touches—wood-burning stove, exposed finishes—with modern fittings and a large family kitchen that opens to an enclosed garden. A four-car garage, barn with lambing shed, sand school and detached stables give strong scope for equestrian, smallholding or hobby farming use.
The property sits directly off the A9/NC500 with good vehicular access and an expansive gravel driveway. Fields are stock-proof fenced and IACS-registered; single farm entitlements and a further c.100 acres are available by separate negotiation, which will interest buyers wanting to expand agricultural use or investment potential. The house benefits from oil central heating, double-glazed UPVC/Cairngorm windows and has been newly renovated and extended.
Important practical points: this is a remote location with very slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal, and the local area is classified as very deprived. Running a large croft and multiple outbuildings will bring ongoing maintenance and fuel costs (oil heating). Council tax band currently listed as A but may change on sale. These factors suit buyers prioritising land, privacy and self-sufficiency over fast internet or immediate urban conveniences.
For families seeking space, smallholding buyers or investors in rural property, Achalone Croft combines ready-to-live accommodation with extensive productive land and infrastructure. Viewings recommended for those who value large acreage, equestrian facilities and a property already significantly upgraded.
