Pollanaich is on the edge of the hamlet of Nedd close to Kylesku in Sutherland. The property is in a spectacular elevated setting with breathtaking water, island and mountain views. In this unspoilt corner of the north-west Highlands, the single track road between Lochinver and Kylesku winds its way along the coastline through traditional fishing hamlets and a landscape of white sandy beaches and sheltered bays set against a magnificent mountain backdrop.<br/><br/>The region forms part of Scotland’s first European Geopark, an area recognised globally for its outstanding geological features, cultural heritage and forward-thinking communities. This stunning unspoilt landscape provides a habitat for many native species of wildlife, as well as a wide range of outdoor pursuits including kayaking, sailing, fishing, and surfing, and walking and challenging mountain climbs.<br/><br/>Nearby Drumbeg has a village shop and grocery store, while the nearest main centre is Lochinver, a fishing port with a thriving and active community and a good range of services including a small supermarket, Post Office, hotels and a primary school. Further amenities are available in Ullapool, including its highly regarded secondary school, while Inverness, about 2 hours’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city with its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.<br/><br/>Formerly a traditional croft house, Pollanaich has been in the same family since 1980. In around 1989 the property was extended and upgraded to create a striking coastal property, designed to sit comfortably in the landscape and incorporating many of the features of a traditional Highland lodge along with the benefits of modern building techniques. The accommodation is well laid out and the main rooms take advantage of the spectacular views, while quirky features and attention to detail have created a characterful interior. This includes the beautiful drawing room, the wood-lined winter sitting room, and tower room, accessed by a spiral staircase and with a bat box with viewing window.<br/><br/>EPC Rating = D<br/><br/>
