Sailors Cabin is a contemporary, eco-designed two-bedroom detached home finished in 2022 and set on a substantial 1.35-acre plot with elevated views across Loch Harport towards the Trotternish Ridge. Constructed to a high passive-house standard, the house uses Scottish Larch cladding, triple-glazed NorDan windows, and an MVHR system, combining low-energy performance with high-end fittings and warm natural materials. The interior is walk-in ready and includes a sauna, wood-burning stove, and app-controlled passive electric heaters for remote convenience.
A 15 sqm detached annex sits within the landscaped grounds and is served with electricity and water; it offers flexible use as a studio, guest space, or potential holiday let (requires local consents and an STL licence). The gardens are maturely landscaped with birch, beech and willow plantings, a fully enclosed boundary, storm-protected terraces and generous off-street parking accessed via a shared driveway. The current owners have pre-wired provision for solar and a heat pump for future upgrades.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, recently built and energy-efficient, but broadband speeds are noted as slow in the location. Council tax is described as expensive, and the annex’s use for short-term letting would need the appropriate permissions. Furniture can be negotiated separately.
This property will suit buyers seeking an eco-conscious retreat or a low-energy rural home with strong rental potential from the annex (subject to consents). Viewing is recommended to appreciate the quality of finishes, the sheltered terraces and the panoramic loch-side setting.
