The Sawmill is in a beautiful setting on the periphery of the Vicotrian conservation village of Tomich in Inverness-shire. Tomich, formerly an estate village to Guisachan House is popular for its charming traditional properties, proximity to the protected landscape of Glen Affric and its association with the origins of the Golden Retriever breed. The area is known for its walking, from riverside walks to challenging Munros. The property is located close to the Plodda Falls Trail, a short walk to a spectacular waterfall over forty meters high and the area is rich in wildlife. The village of Tomich has a country house hotel, whilst nearby Cannich has a shop and primary schooling, with secondary schooling available in Drumnadrochit, 16 miles distant. Inverness, approximately an hour’s drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.Once part of the Guisachan Estate, The Sawmill was purchased by the current owner in 2010, then a dilapidated former timber cutting mill. The property was lovingly converted to a striking, well-appointed four-bedroom dwelling with a contemporary interior, finished to a high standard while retaining the character of its origin. With over 3020 square feet of accommodation spread over two floors, features included exposed stonework, original window openings, and vaulted ceilings in entrance hall and the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room with its mezzanine. The Sawmill is energy efficient having double glazing, an air source heat pump, underfloor heating on the ground floor and high levels of insulation throughout. The abundance of glazing creates a light filled interior and frames the views over the garden and the countryside beyond. The property sits proudly within the wooded landscape that attracts an abundance of wildlife, the sensitive conversion also considerate of nature conservation with integrated roosting spaces in sections of the roof for bats and Barn Owls.
