The village of Durness lies approximately 95 miles north west of Inverness. This stunningly beautiful area is renowned for its award winning beaches and has many areas of historical and geological interest such as Smoo Cave. The village provides two shops, a fuel station and an 18-hole golf course. There is a craft village nearby at Balnakeil which is made up of an interesting collection of working artists selling their wares in addition to Cocoa Mountain, a coffee shop and gourmet chocolate manufacturer. The area has an abundance of walking, wildlife spotting and fishing opportunities and is also known for being the place where John Lennon holidayed as a child. Crofting is still very much a way of life for many here and this is an ideal chance to purchase a desirable property for anyone looking for an idyllic lifestyle opportunity.
