Within a short drive of Crianlarich, in one of Scotland’s most beautiful locations, Portnellan Estate is home to “The Buzzard”, a large, very well presented and extended timber built holiday chalet. The property sits beautifully within the grounds, and benefits from one of the quietest and most private locations. From its elevated position, it enjoys a truly magnificent setting, with a Highland landscape all around, with spectacular views of the surrounding hills (including Ben More) and Loch Iubhair. An abundance of bird and wildlife can be seen from the chalet and it is not unusual to see deer meandering off the hill or a family of red squirrels passing nearby the chalet and feeding off the bird feeders adjacent to the chalet.

The property is being sold freehold and the purchaser will own the property and the solum on which it sits, outright. The property is able to be occupied by the owner for up to 11 months of the year and can also be utilised as a very lucrative holiday rental throughout the year, with all of the estate’s facilities available. Site fees were circa £3350 per annum in 2022/23 (including utilities, external maintenance and VAT). It is understood that around half of the properties on the estate are owned privately with the other half being estate owned. More information can be found on the dedicated Portnellan website (www.portnellan.com)

The exterior of the lodge features a large wrap-around decked terrace/sitting area taking in the lovely views. From here, there is access into the chalet itself, where there is a very large pine clad living/lounge area with large windows taking in the views. This is a great room for entertaining. This leads through to the fantastic open plan dining room and kitchen. The kitchen has pine fronted wall and base units and a range of modern appliances that include an oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and microwave. A breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the sizeable dining area where another large window enjoys loch views. Accessed from the rear of the dining room, there are two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying ensuite facilities (one with a bathroom (with power shower over the bath), the other with a shower room). The chalet also benefits from double glazed windows and new low energy mineral filled electric heating.
