Modern 2-bed home with annex and 2.48-acre croft, panoramic mountain views.
Panoramic views to the Black Cuillins
Set against sweeping croft land with panoramic views to the Black Cuillins, 14 Portnalong is a modern two-bedroom detached bungalow completed in 2016. The bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, generous bedrooms (one en-suite) and practical utility room offer comfortable, low-maintenance living for a family or couple. The property sits in a large garden with off-street parking and a powered wooden shed.
A self-contained one-bedroom annex, Molly’s Den, provides immediate rental or B&B potential — currently used for holiday lets and offered with some contents by negotiation. The whole package includes a 2.48-acre croft tenancy across the road, providing hobby farming or grazing possibilities and strengthening income and lifestyle options.
Important practical points are clear: broadband speeds are very slow, drainage is to a septic tank, and heating is oil-fired with electric heaters in the annex. As a croft tenancy, the croft transfer requires Crofters Commission approval and legal advice; prospective buyers should consult a crofting solicitor. The local area is a remoter community with limited nearby services and a low area population density, so routine travel to Portree or Carbost will be needed for wider amenities.
This package will suit buyers seeking rural privacy, mountain views and immediate income potential, or investors wanting a turnkey holiday-let option. It is not aimed at those needing fast broadband or urban convenience; consider the crofting conditions and oil heating when budgeting for ongoing running costs.
