SITUATION
Breakachy Lodge is in an attractive rural location a few
miles away from Laggan where there is a village store, primary
school and doctor’s surgery. Further facilities are available
in Newtonmore and Kingussie and these include a variety of shops,
hotels, restaurants and a secondary school. Both towns have
mainline railway stations with services to Inverness, Glasgow,
Edinburgh and London.
The nearest airport is at Inverness where there are services

Cairngorms and Monadhliath Mountains offer first class hill
walking and mountaineering. There are a number of golf courses
in the area and the Spey and local lochs offer plenty of scope
for the fisherman. The area received much publicity in the BBC
TV series ‘Monarch of the Glen’ which was filmed locally at
Ardverikie House and the surrounding countryside. Mountain biking

DIRECTIONS
From the A9 travelling south turn off to Dalwhinnie at the
northern end of the Drumochter Pass and follow the road towards
Laggan. After some 7 miles turn right on the minor road signposted
Glentruim. The entrance to Breakachy Lodge is on the right after
a short distance.
DESCRIPTION
Breakachy Lodge was originally the farmhouse for the Glentruim
Estate. It is understood that part of the house dates back to
the 1700’s and it was extended during the Victorian era to form
a fine spacious house with generous accommodation. The property
is set in some 2½ acres of land that includes a small paddock
to the front of the property. There is a good outlook to the
Monadhliath Mountains and whilst it is in an attractive rural
location, it is a short distance to the A9 and local facilities
in Laggan and Newtonmore.
The present owners have carried out a number of improvements
and there is still scope to continue the work to bring this
fine property to its full potential.
