Bringing the Spirit of the Canadian Rockies to the Scottish Highlands – Rare Pioneer Log Home for Sale
An extraordinary four-bedroom, handcrafted Canadian log home nestled in the scenic Highlands has come to market.
Located in Daviot and only a short commute from Inverness, this remarkable property, available for offers over £950,000, brings an authentic piece of the Canadian Rockies to Scotland – a rare find for those seeking a unique blend of natural beauty and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Blackcroft Lodge was meticulously constructed by the renowned Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia, using sustainably sourced Western Red Cedar and a traditional hand-scribing technique. Hand-scribing, a hallmark of high-quality log home construction, involves expertly fitting each log by hand to create a seamless, snug structure. This level of artistry is seldom found in the UK and makes Blackcroft Lodge a true gem in the Highlands.
Set across three floors, the home showcases breathtaking woodwork and spacious interiors, each room radiating the warmth and character of the handcrafted logs. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the spaces in natural light, while the intricate joinery of the pillars and beams highlights the artistry that went into each log’s unique texture and pattern. Complemented by tasteful décor, the craftsmanship is evident in every corner, creating a welcoming, yet awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Blackcroft Lodge provides expansive living areas perfect for a family home or a potential bed and breakfast. Additional space in the basement allows for further development – ideal for a home gym, cinema, or additional guest accommodations. Modern conveniences such as high-quality copper-clad double glazing and underfloor heating on two floors enhance comfort, with a central wood-burning stove providing eco-friendly warmth and the option for an additional oil or gas heating system if desired.
The home’s layout offers an inviting blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, with French doors leading to a wraparound balcony overlooking open countryside. The kitchen, with its high-gloss cream units and solid oak work surfaces, seamlessly blends practicality with elegance, while the dining area provides sweeping views of the Scottish landscape.
Perched on over an acre of elevated land, Blackcroft Lodge is surrounded by fenced, secure gardens and offers ample parking. This tranquil setting, combined with the lodge’s intricate design and rare craftsmanship, brings the essence of Canada’s wilderness to the heart of Scotland’s Highlands.
