A charming Scottish home is on the market, boasting a location nestled by a loch within the majestic Highlands.

In the heart of the remote and breathtakingly beautiful Sutherland region of Scotland, a unique opportunity to own a piece of Highland paradise has arisen. Lairg Lodge, a 10-bedroom Victorian lodge built in 1879, is for sale in Lairg, Scotland.

Nestled within 184 acres of private grounds, Lairg Lodge boasts large bedrooms, including some that accommodate four-poster beds, and a dining room table fit for royalty. The lodge's huge picture windows offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers.

The estate operates a successful holiday enterprise, with Lairg Lodge and the River Shin Fishings being used as a Highland retreat by the British royal family in recent years. The estate also includes two additional properties, Phil's House and Reid's Cottage, which are rated four stars by the Scottish Tourist Board and attract repeat visitors.

The River Shin Fishings, part of the estate, offers 3 ½ miles of double-bank salmon and sea-trout fishing, making it a fisherman's paradise. The asking price for Lairg Lodge and its River Shin Fishings is 'offers over £2.4m'.

Meanwhile, another Highlands estate, the Challenger Estate, spans over 900 acres of pristine Scottish landscape. The estate features two houses powered by wind turbines, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.

Penny Churchill, the author of this article, comments on the charm of the Challenger Estate. She notes that the area, with its mountains, beaches, cliffs, caves, and diverse flora and fauna, is a haven for those seeking a connection with nature.

In a remarkable development, golden eagles are being reintroduced in southern Scotland beyond the Highlands, adding another layer of natural beauty to these already stunning estates.

Lairg Lodge and the River Shin Fishings are being sold via Savills, providing a rare opportunity for a new owner to create their own Highland paradise. The lodge, having been well-maintained, updated, and improved, comes with no apparent maintenance headaches, making it an attractive proposition for potential buyers.

As the sale of these spectacular Scottish castles and estates continues, it is clear that the allure of the Highlands, with its natural beauty and rich history, continues to captivate those seeking a unique and unforgettable home.
