Set on the shores of Loch Harport with sweeping Cuillin views, Marsco House and Otter Lodge offer a rare combination of family-sized accommodation and proven holiday-let income. The detached four-bedroom main house (built 2001) sits in established, enclosed gardens with a useful garage, sheds and adaptable catio, while the highly insulated one-bedroom Otter Lodge log cabin (installed 2010) is fully equipped and licenced for short-term letting to July 2027.
This package suits a buyer seeking a principal residence with on-site guest accommodation, or a lifestyle business that can restart holiday trading immediately. Otter Lodge has strong recent guest feedback and a Short Term Let Licence; Marsco House was previously run as a B&B and could be reinstated subject to consents. Solar PV and an EV charging point help reduce running costs; the house holds an EPC C (75).
Buyers should note practical realities of rural island living: both properties rely on oil heating (separate systems), a septic tank for drainage and LPG for the hob. Mobile and broadband are average and the wider area scores as very deprived — factors that affect service levels and some running costs. Photographs were taken prior to Marsco House being vacated; Otter Lodge remains equipped for immediate rental use.
Offered with vacant possession and goodwill where applicable, the properties present significant scope for continued holiday trading, reinvigorated B&B use, or straightforward family occupation in one of Skye’s most central and scenic locations.
