Secluded house on 12 acres, set in the tree canopy, loch views and private beach

Darach is a 1970s lochside house on 12 private acres on Loch Tummel, with views across the water to Schiehallion. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeping up to four. Within walking distance of the village and Inn, yet feeling entirely off the beaten track.

Winding paths traverse ancient woodland and open meadow, leading to a private beach on the loch shore, where you can swim, kayak, birdwatch, or stargaze.

The house is elevated in the tree canopy, affording panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors. You can watch the sunsets blaze across the loch; the wood-burning stove crackling, a glass of whisky in hand, or sit out on the wrap-around deck and listen to the trees whisper around you.

The interiors are thoughtfully finished, with deep sofas, a selection of books, a botanical-themed bathroom with a freestanding bath, and a master bedroom with views over the loch.
