Teagait is in the scattered hamlet of Breakachy close to Beauly. The property, which comprises a decrofted house and garden along with approximately 1.85 acres of croft land, is in a delightful setting with a burn, waterfall and small gorge along its southern boundary and a backdrop of wooded farmland.The beautiful surrounding countryside remains peaceful and unspoilt, its dramatic inland landscape providing a haven for many rare species of plants and wildlife as well as offering world class salmon fishing on the River Beauly. The quiet countryside makes it an ideal area for cycling and hill walking, while the west coast, with its excellent sailing, is within easy reach and the National Nature Reserves of Glen Affric and Strathfarrar are just a short distance away.Beauly is a traditional and prosperous town and has a good range of independent shops, hotels and a railway station. Primary schooling is available at Teanassie School and secondary schooling is available in both Inverness and Drumnadrochit. Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south.Teagait has been in the same family since 1989. The cottage and adjoining barn, which were derelict on purchase, have been sensitively renovated and extended to create a charming rural property. Designed by Lachie Stewart, a heritage architect, the cottage has well laid out and comfortable accommodation and wherever possible, original features including window openings, panelling and stone walls, have been retained or replicated.
