Property description
Wonderful renovated traditional villa in superb coastal situation within the heart of Findhorn. Boasting stunning panoramic views to the front over Findhorn Bay, with Forres to the south, Culbin Forest on the west shore, and out over the Moray Firth to the Black Isle in the distance to the north.
