Culish lies just above Kilmuir village on the Black Isle. The property is in a delightful, secludedsetting, sheltered by its own mature mixed woodland and with framed views to the Moray Firth and Alturlie Point. The property comprises a bungalow and traditional steading in a courtyard setting surrounded by beautiful established gardens with herbaceous borders and woodland walks, and a five acre grass field. Although within easy reach of Inverness, the area is peaceful and unspoilt, the quiet countryside providing a safe habitat for native species of wildlife, while its network of single track roads and forest tracks makes it an ideal area for cycling, riding and walking. The property is just a short walkfrom the hamlet of Kilmuir on the Moray Firth, a single row of cottages and houses strung out along a dead-end road that follows the shoreline and is set against a backdrop of community-owned woodland. From here there are regular sightings of bottle-nose dolphins in the firth and a range of coastal walks.Inverness, which is just a short drive from Culish, has all the facilities of a modern city including itsairport with regular flights to the south and Europe. This prosperous and expanding city benefits from excellent communications and inward investment and yet, as the city has grown, it has lost none of its Highland cultural identity, seen in its strong sense of community and thriving arts scene.Culish has been owned by the same family for over forty years. The house is now somewhat dated, but has been well-maintained and has generous, well laid out single storey accommodation. The potential exists, subject to the necessary consents, to extend the accommodation into the adjacent steading.
