The sale of “Rustic Lodge” represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a unique and historic A listed cottage, reputedly built by the Marquis of Breadalbane circa 1840, as the Gate Lodge to Taymouth Castle.
Situated in a picturesque location in Highland Perthshire, this exceptional one bedroom lodge has been fully restored to offers a luxurious holiday home for today’s discerning market. Suitable either for use as a bolthole holiday property, easily accessed from the Central Belt, or, given its close proximity to the highly desirable village of Kenmore, as a lucrative holiday lettings property to generate a second income, Rustic Lodge is south facing, with outstanding views across the mountains and confluence of Rivers Tay and Lyon.
A fully furnished and decorated turnkey property which retains many period features, Rustic Lodge comprises an open porch, spacious kitchen/living room with integrated appliances, wet/boot room, utility room, and double bedroom with modern en- suite bathroom with separate shower room. Traditional detailing and character charm has been complimented by granite worksurfaces and under-floor heating to present the perfect merger of old and new.

A number of indulgent extras – namely a fuel burning lover’s hot tub, along with a sauna cabin – make this property even more desirable as an escape from today’s stresses and strains.
Commenting on the historic lodge, Alastair Houlden, Director of Country House Sales, from selling agents Rettie & Co said: “This is a truly exceptional and unique property with a fascinating history and heritage behind it which potential buyers are sure to find intriguing.

The property has been fully upgraded prior to entering the market, ensuring that it retains all of its considerable charm, but has many of the modern features today’s market dictates.”
