For centuries there was a salmon netting station at Lunan Bay, with a bothy to house the fishermen. In 1996 the bothies were sold by the fishing company and this building was initially developed in 1998, when it was enlarged into a most attractive two storey country house, built in a L shape. The property was originally used as one private house but was cleverly designed so that it could be sub-divided into two, as it is now, with the building being improved and extended in 2004. Since then it has been used as a home and for long lets, and in recent years as a successful holiday letting business

Lunan Bothies occupy a dramatic site, just inland from the beach, and located behind sand dunes which provide shelter, and just to the north of the Lunan Water. The building is harled with a slate roof and faces east and also south towards Red Castle. The property could easily be converted back into one, and is fully double glazed. The two properties, known as Beachside and Riverside, each have their own access.

Riverside has been sold.

Beachside About 2.36 acres

This is the larger of the two properties, and comprises the east-facing wing. A partially glazed wooden door opens to a hallway with a tiled floor and staircase to the first floor. Off this are two sun rooms, one linking to the sitting room and one to the kitchen. The spacious dining kitchen has fitted wall and floor units with tiled splashbacks, sink, built in storage cupboards, (one housing a Hotpoint washing machine and the other a Worcester wall mounted boiler) and French doors. Beko appliances include a double oven cooker with grill and a fridge freezer. There is ample space for informal dining. An equally spacious living room has French doors to the garden and a fireplace with mantel and LPG gas stove. Also off the kitchen is a rear porch with a further entrance door. A useful downstairs bedroom has a door to the garden, fitted bedhead with two lights and a tiled en suite with shower, pedestal washbasin and WC. At first floor level are three further bedrooms. Bedroom two has two shelved storage cupboards, fitted bedhead with two lights and an en suite with bath with shower and tiled surround, washbasin and WC. Bedrooms three and four also both have en suites with bath with shower over and tiled surround, washbasin and WC. There is an airing cupboard, and a separate storage cupboard.

At the back of the house is ample parking and turning. There is an enclosed garden in front and to the side with a sheltered paved seating area. In addition there is an area of sand dunes between the house and the high water mark on the beach, providing shelter, and planted with some indigenous tree saplings.
