Knockbain Mains and Black Isle Pods, Knockbain, Munlochy, IV8

Knockbain Mains lies close to Munlochy in Ross-shire. The property is in a beautiful and peaceful rural setting with panoramic views over Munlochy Bay to Inverness, the Moray Coast and the Cairngorms. The property lies off a single track road bordering Forestry and Land Scotland owned woodland which provides both a habitat for native species of wildlife and gives direct access to extensive riding tracks and walks. The Black Isle lies between the Moray Firth to the south and the Cromarty Firth to the north, its fertile rolling countryside culminating in a beautiful coastline of raised beaches and prominent headlands, dotted with historic villages. The Black Isle is a gateway to the north Highlands and from here there is easy access to the beautiful countryside with its dramatic scenery and many recreational and sporting opportunities.
Munlochy has a village shop and Post Office, popular pub and restaurant, and primary school, with secondary schooling available at the highly regarded Fortrose Academy. Inverness, just a short drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe.

Knockbain Mains
Knockbain Mains Farmhouse lies on the southern boundary of the site. Formerly a one-and-a-half storey cottage, the property, which has been in the same family for three generations, has an extension to the rear, complementing the original dwelling and creating generous and well laid out accommodation. This includes the delightful, triple aspect sitting room with french doors to the garden, while the versatile layout has rooms which currently provide office and storage space for the management of the holiday business but could be incorporated into the living space.
The owners have maintained the house well and recent improvements include the installation of a new kitchen, bathroom and shower room.
