Drimnin is located in one of the most picturesque settings on mainland Scotland, to the South side of the Morven Peninsula, opposite Tobermory on the Island of Mull.
NATURAL WILDLIFE
The area is abounded with natural wildlife including pine martens, Scottish wildcats, deer, and the rare sea eagle, not to mention the wide variety of butterfly species in the summer.

ATTIC
A small attic with fitted ladder from hallway. Two velux windows. The attic is currently laid out with pine lining to walls and flooring. Power and lighting and occasional accommodation.
EXTERNALLY
The grounds extend to in excess of four acres with a variety of formal lawn, flowerbeds, shrubberies, etc. with various vegetable plots and other areas left to more natural hillside, all sitting within deer fencing.
An area of ground to the rear of the property could easily be levelled to provide a heli-pad and to the rear of the house is a large covered area with ample storage space for wood, storage shed, etc. Two further timber sheds lie to the rear of the property.
Additional trees have been planted along the boundary, which is currently Forested to ensure that when the Forest is cut down (likely to be in many years time), there will already be an existing stand of trees.
There is also an orchard comprising of a variety of apple trees, cherry tree and plum trees, accessed by way of a stone stepped path complete with protected bench etc.
The orchard is adjacent to a pond in the bottom corner of the garden, which is extremely well sheltered and protected. There are a variety of paths between the ponds and the house where Beech tree hedging and Hawthorn trees have been planted.
GREENHOUSE
This is a “Hartley” lean-to greenhouse adjacent to the East gable wall of the property with cushioned armoured glass.
POINT OF INTEREST
The area surrounding the house is a mixture of Forestry Grant Scheme land and sites of special scientific interest, which should ensure that no further building works are likely to take place in the future. The lie of the land also ensures that even if building works were to proceed outwith the land owned by the property, this would not compromise the privacy.
SERVICES
The property enjoys a private spring water supply currently from a holding tank above the property. This supply has been analysed twice and meets all current regulations.
The property has mains electricity and telephone, whilst the gas cooker is supplied by LPG. (The bottles are situated under the cover to the rear of the house.
Septic tank drainage, the tank was replaced a few years ago and the soakaway runs down the adjacent wall.
