Loch Ness Monster hunters’ dream home goes on the market for £800k – and even has its own private pathway to the loch
Six-bed Point Clair House is described as occupying 'one of the finest and most sought after locations in the Highlands'
THE ULTIMATE lair for Loch Ness monster hunters has gone on the market for £800,000 - with its own private pathway to the water.
Point Clair House sits on a stunning peninsula that extends into the world-famous lake and boasts six bedrooms.
The side of the property facing the water resembles the bridge of a boat on the instructions of the ship captain who built it in the 1930s.
Located between Fort Augustus and Invermoriston in 3.5 acres of land, the property is described by sellers Galbraith as occupying "one of the finest and most sought after locations in the Highlands of Scotland".
They add: "In a private, elevated position, the uninterrupted views from the property are breathtaking and the promontory offers unrivalled views encompassing Fort Augustus Abbey at the head of the loch, the lower slopes of the Monadhliath mountains across the water and northwards towards Drumnadrochit.”
Over the years it has been extended to allow all rooms a view of either the loch or garden.
It was fully renovated in 2013.
Inviting paths meander through the wooded grounds leading to hidden viewpoints and to a sheltered shingle beach with a former boat house.
It comes with planning permission for a further two properties in the grounds.
It was previously run as a successful holiday home.
Around one million people visit Loch Ness each year, generating an estimated £30 million for the local economy.
Last year The Official Loch Ness Monster Sighting Register noted a record breaking eleven sightings.
Each month, according to Google, there are around 200,000 searches for the famous monster, and a further 120,000 for information and accommodation near the loch.
Irish missionary St Columba is first said to have encountered a beast in the River Ness in 565AD.
