A Scottish estate on a world-famous tourist route has been brought to market.
The “stunning” location is adjacent to the North Coast 500 and has a traditional-style lodge, cottage and bothy “with potential to develop a tourism-related business”.
Landfor Chartered Land and Forestry Agency said the estate has “outstanding brown trout fishing on Loch Urigill, Cam Loch and the Ledmore and Ledbeg Rivers and red deer stalking and rough shooting opportunities”.
“The surrounding area is the most sparsely populated corner of Europe, and the geology is amongst some of the oldest in Britain.
“The stone-built properties on the estate are positioned at the eastern end of the estate with far-reaching views south and west over the Ledmore River towards the mountain peaks in the distance.
“The former lodge and nearby shepherd’s cottage are surrounded by areas of garden ground, partly enclosed by old stone walls and fences and screened from the main road to the north and east by an established shelter belt of Scots pine and mixed broadleaves, creating privacy.”

The agent also said: “The County of Sutherland is known for its beautiful coastline and stunning rugged countryside, from the fertile straths to the dramatic mountain ranges. The region enjoys continued growth and yet retains its unspoilt charm and sense of community.”
Landfor said the freehold is available at offers over £700,000.
