It could be the ideal base camp for any amateur Nessie hunter – a stunning accommodation on the banks of Loch Ness with unrivalled views of the famous waterway has just gone on the market.
The five-bedroom property which can be found at Strone which lies just outside the popular Highland village of Drumnadrochit – home to the Loch Ness Centre and Nessieland – has been placed on the market for offers over £385,000.
Rarely available so close to Loch Ness, the property comes with a beautiful three-bedroom cottage and converted barn (with two additional bedrooms) and is described as an ideal holiday let or Airbnb project for someone, or even as a family home.
With epic views of Scotland's most famous loch, it would also be ideal for those interested in the mystery of the monster.
Speaking about the property, estate agents Innes & Mackay said: "These two cottages offer anyone looking for a desirable residence together with a separate and detached former barn which has been converted providing additional accommodation.
Sitting on approximately one acre of garden grounds, the team added that the views across the world-famous Loch Ness from the upstairs room are "are second to none".
The main house also features a beautiful conservatory to enjoy the views, while the barn, which was converted by the current owner some years ago, provides two bedrooms with the addition of a fully floored attic space which is currently used as a third bedroom.
The cottage can be found along the shore from the village of Drumnadrochit which offers excellent facilities and amenities including a general store and Post Office, while whisky fans will have a ball at the famous Fiddler's bar and restaurant.
A highly popular tourist destination there is also an excellent range of activities available in the area including walking, riding, fishing and sailing.
Also close by is the Caledonian Canal and the Great Glen while Urquhart Castle, which stands sentinel over the loch is also within touching distance.
Alongside the attractive gardens, the property also comes with a large timber garage, garden shed along with wood store and a large studio/workroom with electricity.
