General

Loch Morar House is located on the west side of Loch Morar and benefits from an open aspect over the loch and hills beyond. The area is renowned for its abundance of flora and fauna and greatly benefits from the Gulf Stream. Otters, pine martins and sea eagles and many other birds may be seen in the locality along with sea life such as whales, dolphins and porpoises.

There is a primary school in the village of Morar, known as the Lady Lovat School. Secondary schooling is available in Mallaig. Mallaig is well serviced with a medical centre, a leisure centre near the school, banks, restaurants, supermarket and a number of hotels. The area offers wonderful sailing opportunities on top of what is available on Loch Morar, with the attractive harbour of Arisaig, some 6 miles to the south and facilities also available at Mallaig.

There is a ferry to Skye and the Small Isles and the West Highland Railway line runs through Morar and provides easy rail connections via Fort William to Glasgow, Edinburgh and London. Inverness, Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports are about 3 hours by road.

Loch Morar House is of traditional concrete block construction with a harled finish under a slate roof and was built in approximately 1997. It is in good condition throughout and is predominately double-glazed. Of particular note is the height of the ceilings on both storeys which give each room a degree of volume normally seen in more period properties. The house has been used to provide B&B accommodation in the past but is also suitable for flexible family accommodation. The property is spacious, well lit and in good order throughout.
