The Hutt is in the scattered hamlet of Drynie Park near Muir of Ord. The property is in a stunning setting, its mature grounds providing privacy and shelter and with beautiful, framed views over the surrounding countryside.The area is beautiful and unspoilt and provides an ideal base for the outdoor enthusiast, with a wide range of walks and bike trails, challenging mountain climbs and fishing for salmon and trout on local rivers. The west coast, famous for its stunning coastline and sandy beaches, is under an hour’s drive away, while the Cairngorms Ski Centre is also within easy reach.Muir of Ord has a good range of facilities including a small supermarket, doctor’s surgery, and train station. Primary schooling is in the nearby rural hamlet of Mulbuie, while secondary schooling is available in Dingwall which has a wider range of amenities. Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.Built in 1996, the current owners purchased the property about 24 years ago and since then have extended and improved the house, erected a range of high quality outbuildings and landscaped the grounds to create a stunning rural property. The house provides extremely comfortable and beautifully appointed family accommodation, where the semi-open plan design and extensive use of glass fill the house with natural light as well as the benefits of solar gain. The ground floor interior layout is versatile with full planning consent in place for a sun room extension to the TV room, while the lounge (currently used as a gym), with its bifold doors to the veranda with hot tub, has plumbing to allow for conversion to an en suite bedroom. The sense of space extends into the first floor with its galleried landing and balconies in the master and en suite guest bedrooms, which take advantage of the breathtaking views.
