Charming Traditional Scottish Country House, salmon fishing on the River Nairn

Set in the countryside, yet only 7 minutes to the center of Inverness.
The property sits on 36 acres, of which 3 acres are gardens which include a 40m x 10m formal pond with four seasons statues and Koi carp, a three tier horse head fountain and a 4m cairn similar on the one found on Culloden battlefield which is 2 miles from the property, the Clava stones are also situated less than a mile from the house. The property includes half a mile salmon fishing on the River Nairn. The garden features more than 30 trees including Chestnuts, Beeches and Firs which exceed 30m in height. To the rear of the property are forestry walks where you could should you wish walk or cycle to Inverness through the forest.
The property was built in 1854 as the Dowager house for MacKintosh of MacKintosh of Moy, made famous by Anne Farquharson, Colonel Anne as she was known, who defeated 1500 redcoats with a team of five servants in an engagement called the Rout of Moy who played a major role in the Jacobite uprising in 1745 culminating in the Battle of Culloden in 1746. It was also the home of Vice Admiral Lachlan Donald MackIntosh.
Sadly the house had fallen into a total state of disrepair when we acquired it in 2010, the house was stripped back to the stone walls including removing the roof and all widow and door lintels., the house was then rebuilt to 21t century standards with a ground source heat pump installed to provide underfloor heating on all three floors, all external walls were also fully insulated. Window shutters were reinstalled on all new sash windows, wood paneling in the main living room and dining room, ornate coving installed and seven different Victorian tile floor patterns used.
The kitchen has an Aga along with a freestanding induction hob & oven, central island, two fridge freezers, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle etc along with all pots & pans, plates and cups, enough to comfortably cater for 12 guests. The ground floor sitting room has a wood burning stove set in an inglenook fireplace, all rooms have an original fireplace reinstalled.
All bedrooms have either a king size or double bed along with built in wardrobes, all bedroom floors are wooden parquet, all public rooms, bathrooms and hallways are Victorian tiles.
The family bathroom on the ground floor has a walk in shower featuring a Gustav Klimt wall tile The Kiss, toilet with overhead cistern, bidet, washbasin, radiator towel rail, Victorian tiling on the walls and floor which has under floor heating
Four of the bedrooms are ensuite, the ensuite in bedroom 1 on the third floor has a toilet with overhead cistern, bidet, washbasin, slipper bath, walk in shower and radiator towel rail, Victorian tiling on the walls and floor which has under floor heating.

The dining room also has a Court Cupboard dated around 1820 along with a 14ft oak leaf dining table dating from the late 1700's.
