Peaceful Modern Bungalow With Two Bedrooms In Woodland Surroundings A Short Drive From Inverness and Loch Ness

Hidden among the trees on the edge of Gorthleck, Owls Land feels like a private home carved out of the Highland landscape. The approach winds through woodland before opening into a peaceful pocket of space where the house is surrounded by mature trees, wildlife and countryside. Red squirrels and pine martins are regular visitors to the garden which gives the entire property an unmatched feeling.

Inside, the open plan living, dining and kitchen space will quickly become the hub of the home. The living area feels bright thanks to wide floor to ceiling windows, fitted with plantation shutters. There’s a stylish, freestanding wood burning stove which adds real atmosphere and warmth during colder months. You can really imagine yourself relaxing on the sofa with the fire roaring staring out to the woodland beyond. The walls are painted a neutral white colour and there’s a wooden flooring below which adds to clean look. The kitchen is arranged in a practical layout with glossy white cabinets and light coloured worktops. Integrated appliances maintain the streamlined look while wide windows above the sink bring in natural light. There is a strong sense of openness with the dining space sitting alongside. This area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs while glazed French doors open directly onto the garden.

This bungalow has two bedrooms, the master being an exceptionally generous double with plenty of space for additional furniture alongside the bed. Mirror fronted wardrobes stretch across one wall, taking care of of your clothing storage issues nicely. The same wooden flooring continues through here alongside soft neutral décor and wide window overlooking the surrounding grounds. Its en-suite shower room is equally spacious and fitted with a large glass enclosure positioned in one corner, with a rainfall shower head. The inclusion of a bidet alongside the toilet and basin adds an additional level of practicality rarely found in many modern homes.

The second bedroom is another comfortable double and benefits from a full wall of built in wardrobes. The room has white painted walls while the wooden flooring continues the consistent finish found throughout the home.
The main bathroom has a contemporary design with large cream wall and floor tiles running throughout. The bath itself features centrally mounted taps meaning you can lay back and relax comfortably.. A mains shower is positioned above with a glazed screen fitted alongside, while the frosted window brings in natural light without compromising privacy.

The utility room is another great space for households, with long fitted worktop space and room for appliances below. Along the other wall is extensive built in storage concealed behind sliding doors. A rear door opens directly outside, making it the ideal spot for removing outdoor clothing and muddy boots before entering the rest of the home.

Outside, the garden is a standout feature. Made up of different sections of lawns, gravelled pathways and areas intentionally left wild to encourage wildlife and preserve the woodland atmosphere. You’ll also find a detached summerhouse which is another real bonus. This is already equipped with light and power so is perfect for use as a hobby space, reading room, creative studio or simply somewhere quiet to sit among the trees.

Overall this is the kind of home that appeals to buyers who enjoy immersing themselves in nature. The combination of modern construction, built in 2018, with its enviable woodland surroundings, makes it a standout choice for people looking for a quieter pace of life. This is one that’s sure to garner a lot of attention, so contact Hamish Homes now to arrange your private viewing.
