Onich, By Fort William PH33

Impressive detached villa with shore frontage


Situated in the charming village of Onich, Camus Lodge is an impressive detached villa set within generous garden grounds extending to around a third of an acre. A particularly rare and attractive feature is the shore frontage to Loch Linnhe included within the title of around 0.1 acres, creating a truly special waterside setting. Enjoying views towards the loch and surrounding mountains, the property is presented in excellent order and benefits from double glazing and oil-fired central heating. Spacious and versatile accommodation is arranged over two levels. The ground floor comprises an entrance vestibule, central hallway, generous triple-aspect lounge with open fireplace, kitchen/diner with adjoining utility room, separate dual-aspect dining room and cloakroom. Also on this level is the first of two principal bedrooms, featuring French doors opening onto a private patio and an en-suite shower/wet room. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a study, family bathroom, two further bedrooms and a second principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Externally, the property offers ample private parking, a detached double garage and private patio areas, complemented by mature trees, hedging and shrubs. The side garden provides an excellent blank canvas for landscaping, while the double garage may offer potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. With its generous proportions and superb location, Camus Lodge would make an exceptional permanent family home, idyllic Highland retreat or attractive investment opportunity within the area's thriving self-catering market.

Onich is a sought-after village on the shores of Loch Linnhe, conveniently positioned between Fort William and Glencoe, both approximately 15 minutes away by car, with regular bus services available. The neighbouring hamlet of Inchree, around two miles away, offers excellent woodland walks and trails through Glenrigh Forest, including its impressive multi-cascade waterfall. A short ferry crossing to Ardgour provides further lochside dining and leisure opportunities. Onich itself offers hotels, pubs, restaurants and a church, with primary schooling available in nearby North Ballachulish and secondary schools in Fort William, Kinlochleven and Strontian. Renowned as the Outdoor Capital of the UK, the wider Lochaber area attracts visitors throughout the year and offers an outstanding range of outdoor pursuits, including walking, mountaineering, skiing, sailing, fishing and golf. Camus Lodge is ideally placed to enjoy everything this spectacular Highland setting has to offer.
