Set on approximately 59 acres of owner-occupied croft, this modern three-bedroom detached house combines rural privacy with clear income potential. The main house (built 2000) sits in well-maintained gardens and enjoys elevated, panoramic views across moorland. Two recently completed self-catering holiday units sit close by and are ready to trade, offering an additional revenue stream alongside a forestry grant currently payable until 2027.
A substantial workshop and two planted woodland areas increase the property's practical and commercial appeal. The plot is extensive—suitable for small-scale livestock, amenity planting or continuing the current crofting use—so prospective buyers should expect ongoing land maintenance responsibilities. The house is compact (approx. 667 sq ft) with a straightforward traditional layout and modern finishes from its 2000 build.
Practical drawbacks are clear and important: this is a remote location in a very deprived area with only average mobile signal and very slow broadband, which may affect year-round lettings or remote working. The forestry grant income is time-limited (to 2027) and the large plot will require active management. Council Tax is modest (Band C) and the property is offered freehold with no flood risk.
This is a lifestyle property that will most appeal to buyers seeking rural living with holiday-let income potential, those wanting substantial private land on Skye, or small-scale crofters wanting a modern base with workshop facilities. Be realistic about connectivity limits and the ongoing commitment required to manage almost 60 acres.
