TORCASTLE LODGE
A Stunning West Coast Highland Property
ABOUT
Torcastle Lodge is an exceptional house in every respect and offers the height of modern luxury in a truly stunning setting. This spacious detached property is in Banavie, Fort William, nestled between the River Lochy and the famous Caledonian Canal.
Set in its own garden grounds the large picture windows overlook the peaks of Ben Nevis, with the beautiful River Lochy flowing in the foreground.
The focal point of the house is the exemplary open-plan kitchen / dining room which lead through to a magnificent sitting room with high vaulted ceilings and open fireplace.
Large patio doors open onto a covered verandah / terraced area which serves as a further outside ‘room’ in which to relax and saviour the peace of the surroundings and drink in the views across the river to the Ben Nevis mountain range beyond.
The 1.5 acre garden and grounds give direct access to the River Lochy and a network of secluded paths that connect the riverside, the Caledonian Canal and the surrounding woodland.
Down by the riverside you will find secluded shingle beaches, deeper slow-flowing pools and an unspoilt natural environment, perfect for walks, just relaxing, or even swimming.
