Pitlochry 3.6 miles.
Heilan Roo is a striking contemporary retreat nestled among the woodlands of Killiecrankie near Pitlochry; Designed to capture light from every angle, the house blends modern luxury with its natural surroundings, where bi-folding doors open onto peaceful woodland and wildlife is part of everyday life; With a wood-fired hot tub, beautiful living spaces and endless Highland scenery on the doorstep, it is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect and explore.
At the heart of the home is a bright and sociable open-plan living space where floor-to-ceiling glazing and dual-aspect doors open onto the surrounding terraces; On sunny days the doors can be fully opened, allowing fresh Highland air to fill the room creating a seamless connection with the woodland setting.
The stylish kitchen features premium appliances and a striking island, perfect for easy, sociable cooking and gathering with friends or family; After a day exploring the area, settle into the comfortable seating areas beside the softly glowing fireplace and striking media wall, perfect for relaxed evenings in or enjoy long, unhurried meals together around the dining table.
Outside, the landscaped garden is what truly sets Heilan Roo apart; Surrounded by mature trees, it creates a wonderfully peaceful setting where wildlife is a regular presence; The gentle sound of flowing water from the nearby stream and waterfalls adds to the sense of calm and connection with the surrounding forest setting; Red squirrels are daily visitors at the feeders, alongside a variety of birds including woodpeckers and pheasants; Heron are often seen beside the nearby stream, and deer occasionally pass through, giving a true sense of immersion in nature.
The outdoor spaces are designed for slow, relaxed living; Enjoy alfresco dining, gather around the statement fire pit carved from beautiful, natural Scottish stone - a striking centrepiece of the garden; Cook on the Kadai BBQ Fire Bowl, and unwind in the wood-fired hot tub beneath the Highland sky. Heilan Roo offers four beautifully presented bedrooms, including a super-king with en-suite, a king-size room, a further super-king, and a flexible zip-and-link room with Smart TV and Xbox; Soft robes and thoughtful touches throughout add to a sense of comfort, calm, and luxury.
