The Property
Echo Wood is a highly impressive eco-home built in 2011 by Makar Homes, one the UK’s leading innovative ecological home builders. This contemporary two-storey family home of post and beam construction enjoys a peaceful, private setting within easy reach of local villages and Inverness. The property offers light-filled and highly versatile accommodation, including an adaptable detached studio/self-contained flat, garage and shed.

The raised decked terrace opens into the double-height entrance hall, with its stairway with inset glass balustrade rising to the first floor. An abundance of natural light floods the ground floor space which flows naturally into the sociable, multi-aspect open-plan sitting room and kitchen/dining area. Large picture windows bring the outside in, whilst a striking freestanding log-burning stove with exposed metal flue adds comfort for the colder months. The sitting room enjoys wood flooring, with stone tiles in the contemporary Ashley Ann kitchen and dining space, which enjoys wide sliding doors to the south-facing terrace, ample space to dine with a view, and a range of wall and base cabinetry, wood worktops, a breakfast bar and integrated appliances. From here is a well-appointed utility room and a modern shower room. Completing the floor is a sleek family bathroom and a pleasant dual-aspect bedroom.

The bright galleried landing flows to a vaulted family area with a second freestanding log-burning stove and large window units. Further, the hallway leads into a trio of well-proportioned bedrooms, including the larger principal suite complete with a floor-to-ceiling window, a dedicated dressing room and a glossy en suite shower room.

Outside
The home enjoys a wonderfully private plot nestled among beautiful lush green woodland, approached via a sweeping driveway that flows up and around the home. This gives access to the detached wooden-clad garage with attached studio/workshop, with a shower room and kitchenette which could serve a range of potential uses. A raised terrace with stone-built walls and steps wraps around the home, with colourful interspersed planting schemes and a south-facing deck ideal for al fresco dining. This is followed by a lawned garden, along with a timber-built shed, a kitchen garden with various raised beds and a row of solar panels.

Location
The property is situated in an idyllic countryside setting with a plethora of outdoor sporting opportunities on the doorstep. Kirkhill has a thriving community and primary schooling, with Beauly providing various local amenities and shops, including a mainline train station. The Highland capital of Inverness is easily accessible and offers a vast array of commercial, educational, retail and service facilities and an international airport offering regular domestic and European flights.
