Located in a breathtaking rural setting approximately 12 miles south of Inverness, The Steadings is a rare and substantial detached property offering a wealth of space, versatility and Highland character. It’s huge internal footprint, spanning approximately 732m², makes it a one of a kind conversion, including a central residence, two additional wings and extensive outbuildings. This property is for large families or multi-generational living, hospitality ventures or anyone seeking a generous home in the heart of the countryside.
The main entrance opens into a traditional hallway where exposed stonework hints at the building’s historic character. From here we begin with a beautifully refitted kitchen, with black painted ceiling beams contrasting against the crisp white ceiling and qulaity wooden flooring adding to the character and feel of the room. This is a striking space featuring dark cabinets with silver cup handles and kick-strip and under cabinet lighting. A large white Belfast sink is positioned along one run of worktops while a large central island houses a second sink. Integrated appliances include a built-in double oven and a gas hob with extractor. Just off the kitchen, a fully glazed side porch provides a quiet, cosy seating area with a tall modern radiator on hand to keep things cosy.
The property also benefits from a bright and spacious dining/sitting room, where the quality wooden flooring continues underfoot and exposed stonework forms a feature wall. A wood-burning stove creates a warming focal point while multiple windows fill the space with natural light. Matching black ceiling beams maintain a sense of design continuity, while the generous proportions easily accommodate both a relaxed lounge seating area and a large family dining table.
A snug just off this room offers a more private retreat, with neutral walls, a colourful carpet and a chandelier-style light fitting. The room has space for sofa seating and a coffee table and also currently accommodates a writing table and additional furniture.
To the rear of the property, a spectacular garden room stretches over 50 feet (16m) in length, offering panoramic views of the surrounding grounds. Fully glazed on all sides, it’s a flexible and inviting space finished with a traditional tartan-style carpet, perfect for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil scenery.
This floor also plays home to an impressive bar and games room, a standout space where rustic stone walls, timber beams and a multi-fuel stove blend seamlessly with modern comforts. This vast room includes a fitted bar, seating areas, space for a pool table and colourful rustic decor that enhances its relaxed, social feel.
Beyond the main reception rooms, a modern single WC is finished with black-painted wainscot panelling and cream walls, while a separate store room offers excellent storage capacity, currently housing a large chest freezer and additional shelving.

The attic floor hosts a remarkable collection of bedrooms, each offering its own distinct character and generous proportions.
The master suite is particularly impressive. It’s a vast space with neutral white-painted walls, wooden flooring and sloping ceilings illuminated by ceiling spotlights and two Velux-style roof windows. A large four-poster bed currently takes pride of place in the centre of the room, highlighting its exceptional scale. A separate walk-in dressing area enhances its practical appeal, while the luxurious en-suite bathroom showcases a striking monochrome theme with a white, grey and black colour scheme. This stylish space includes a large walk-in shower with chrome-edged enclosure, a large centre-tap bathtub, a wooden cabinet with a white basin on top and a tall chrome towel radiator for added comfort.

There’s ample space for a full bedroom suite of furniture, making this a comfortable and versatile retreat. Adjacent is another expansive double room, currently accommodating two beds, with the same wooden flooring underfoot, neutral wall tones and windows on two walls. A traditional black-painted radiator beneath one window adds a striking touch of period charm.
Serving these two rooms is a stylish Jack and Jill bathroom, accessed directly from both bedrooms. It’s fitted with a white P-shaped bath with shower screen and overhead shower, a built-in unit housing a sink and toilet with a cupboard beneath for storage. Sloped ceilings with a Velux-style rooflight window adds natural light, while dark grey floor tiles extend partway up the walls and are finished with crisp white paint above, creating a fresh, modern contrast.
