A three-bedroom cottage on the shores of Loch Nan Ceall in the Scottish Highlands, offering uninterrupted views of the Small Isles, has been listed for sale with offers over £490,000. The property, Camus An Tallen, is located near Arisaig in Lochaber, western Scottish Highlands, and is marketed by estate agents Galbraith.
Property Features and Location
The house sits on 0.33 acres of grounds that extend directly onto the loch shore, providing private access to a pier. A sheltered flagstone sitting area adjacent to the house offers outdoor space with panoramic views.

Recent improvements include re-roofing and the installation of a new central heating boiler."
