General

Situation

Talladh-A-Bheithe Lodge occupies what could be described as a particularly enviable site in Highland Perthshire. Tucked away amidst hills and woodland, this fine property sits particularly well on the north side of Loch Rannoch, and benefits from privacy and protection, and views that are truly pure and unspoilt.

This area of Highland Perthshire has been renowned by successive generations for its breathtaking beauty and lasting appeal. There is fishing, sailing and canoeing on Loch Rannoch and Loch Tummel. Famous Munros include Schiehallion and Ben Lawers are within a short motoring distance. Highland Perthshire provides an exciting centre for traditional sports including salmon fishing, trout fishing, stalking with other rough shooting available, and both low ground and high ground shooting.

Ski-ing can be enjoyed at Aviemore and there is an 18 hole golf course at Pitlochry. Pitlochry offers its famous Theatre in the Hills, whilst Perth, the county town, is within a comfortable motoring distance.

Although the property is tucked away, it is surprisingly accessible due to its central location. Inverness and Edinburgh are both within 100 miles by road. Alternatively there are railway stations at Rannoch (10 miles) on the Glasgow to Fort William line, and also Pitlochry (25 miles) offering services to Inverness, Perth and Edinburgh. Both stations also offer connections to London services. Rannoch Station offers a direct sleeper service to London.

Description

Talladh-A-Bheithe Lodge is a magnificent former hunting lodge built in 1840 by the Menzies Clan. It is constructed of stone under a series of pitched slate roofs, on a site which extends to approximately 8.527 acres, with shore frontage of approximately 92 metres. There is a boathouse with a slipway below and a pier.

Internally the accommodation is spacious and ideal for grand scale entertaining, with large rooms which have commanding views, and extend out towards the loch and mature grounds.

The property has been utilised as a guest house, but is being offered as a private home. There are two independent apartments and two independent cottages, which can easily be brought back into the main accommodation, or alternatively the property may be suitable for division into four large units.
