A unique opportunity to own an original 1930s Telephone Exchange building in the Scottish Highlands. All original features, Ballachullish slate roof, tongue and groove vaulted ceiling, astragalled windows and all the old fittings remain. This charming building is on an excellent canal side location at the Caledonian Canal, Gairlochy. Nearby views of the Grey Corries and Ben Nevis. Fringed by a picturesque lighthouse and large body of water on Loch Lochy. Prime location for outdoor pursuits - boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, munro walking all on the doorstep. The building in a stone’s throw away from the Great Glen walking route and Canoe Trail. The River Lochy with salmon fishing within striking distance.
This would be the ideal building for a holiday bolt hole or cosy Highland retreat and would make a desirable picturesque holiday let/AirBnB, subject to planning permission.
Set in 'Commando country' this historic Telephone Exchange was instrumental in the 'Commando training' as a vital communication hub. The neighbouring Achnacarry Estate is steeped in the Clan Cameron history and offers some wonderful woodland walks and places to explore. Home of the more famous Caig falls otherwise known as the 'witches cauldron'. The nearby stone bridge has been used in many films as a historic location. The wilds of Loch Arkaig are within close proximity.
Gairlochy is an idyllic hamlet with a population of approximately 100 people, and in between the villages of Moy and Spean Bridge. A perfect location if you’re trying to get away from busy society.
The areas surrounding the Telephone Exchange are popular spots for tourists and locals who come to climb Ben Nevis, the UK’s tallest mountain. Spean Bridge has a railway station which offers regular transport to and from London on a sleeper train – perfect for a weekend getaway.

They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
