Garden grounds
Stone-lined gravel-surfaced access driveway up to level vehicle turning and hardstanding apron. Garden banking planted up with saplings and assorted shrubs and bushes. Sheltered paved and decked patios with sea loch views, gravel terrace around the house and bounded by close board fencing on the northern side. Pathways through semi-ancient native woodland at the rear. Immediately offshore in front of the house in sheltered Camusnagaul Bay is a deep-water mooring which is suitable for over winter mooring.
Location
The Moorings occupies a truly idyllic coastal position within the hamlet of Camusnagaul at Treslaig, nestled on the northern shore of the confluence of Loch Eil and Loch Linnhe. This picturesque pocket of the West Highlands lies directly across the water from Fort William, just one mile as the crow flies, and enjoys spectacular views across the loch towards Scotland"s highest mountain, the iconic Ben Nevis.
This area is recognised as one of outstanding natural beauty, where dramatic mountain backdrops meet tranquil coastal waters, offering a lifestyle immersed in nature yet within easy reach of essential amenities. A regular passenger ferry, operated by Highland Ferries on behalf of Highland Council, links Treslaig to Fort William with a short 10-minute crossing, offering a scenic and efficient route to the town.
Fort William itself serves as a major hub for the region, well-connected via the A82 trunk road, which provides swift access both north towards Inverness and south to Glasgow. The town also benefits from a mainline railway station with direct services to Glasgow and the Caledonian Sleeper service to London.
A wide range of shops, professional services, cafés, banks and recreational facilities are available in Fort William, alongside primary and secondary schooling, healthcare services, and churches of various denominations. The Lochaber area, known as "The Outdoor Capital of the UK", offers unrivalled access to outdoor pursuits from hillwalking, skiing and climbing to world-class mountain biking at the Nevis Range and watersports on Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil.
The surrounding landscape offers endless opportunity for adventure, including walking and cycling routes, field sports, salmon and trout fishing (by permit), and access to local jetties and slipways for kayaking and sailing. Local estates also offer seasonal stalking and shooting by arrangement.
Looking ahead, Fort William and the wider Lochaber area are set to benefit from FW2040, Highland Council"s masterplan for sustainable growth, focusing on transport, housing, energy, tourism, and skills development. The proposals promise a vibrant and forward-thinking future for the region, enhancing an already exceptional quality of life.
In all, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Highland living in a setting of remarkable beauty and tranquillity.
