An exceptional opportunity to create a striking contemporary home within the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, set on a generous and predominantly level plot extending to approximately one third of an acre at Croftronan, just outside Boat of Garten and close to Nethy Bridge. Full planning permission has been granted (ref: 24/01820/FUL) for a thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient detached family home with attached garage, carefully positioned to make the most of the surrounding Highland landscape. The proposed design blends crisp contemporary architecture with traditional Highland materials, combining clean white render with natural stone detailing to create a home that sits comfortably within its rural setting while offering a modern aesthetic.
