6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Francis Street, Dornie, Kyle, Highland IV40

Red House Dornie is more than just a property; it’s a piece of Highland history. Built in the mid-1800s, this home sits on the banks where three lochs meet: Loch Long, Loch Alsh, and Loch Duich and is one of the most photographed houses in the Highlands.

From its windows, you see views stretching across the lochs to the Isle of Skye. A few minutes’ walk from the house is Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most iconic and most photographed landmarks. Dornie is a vibrant village with a Hotel, Pub, and soon to reopen village shop and community cafe.

Red House blends both old and new. With a refurbished and well-maintained interior, Red House is in move-in-ready condition. Yet its period features and classic charm ensure that the home’s heritage is never lost.

A home that offers a great lifestyle.

Imagine waking up to loch views from your bedroom, with the mist rising over the water. Or picture long summer evenings in either of your private gardens, sharing wine with friends as the sun sets behind Skye. You could also spend winter days curled up by the fire in the lounge, with a good book and the loch framed like a painting through the window.

Red House Dornie can be:
● A family home.
● A peaceful retreat.
● A business investment opportunity.
