The package also includes a new two bedroom holiday letting caravan, retail shop and additional decrofted shore-side residential building plot and offers an established income from the holiday let and potential for considerable further expansion to take advantage of the substantial and growing tourism market on the Isle of Skye. The property comes with its own foreshore extending to 120-metres in length or thereby, which includes a slipway. There is also the option to separately purchase the leasehold for an adjacent 1-acre of seabed, with two moorings, a modern 62.5-metre floating jetty and fast, fully licenced passenger boat (with all associated and very well established social media).
The House:
The detached three bedroom property was completed 2018 and benefits from stunning loch views. The property benefits from oil fired central heating and has a log burning stove in the lounge. The property is also ‘off grid’ generating its’ own electricity supply via solar panels and a diesel generator located in the byre with a large battery storage bank.
The Croft:
Extending to approximately 7 acres, with a 120-metres shoreline, the owner-occupied croft land is ideal for keeping livestock (traditionally it has been farmed with sheep and cows), horses and /or re-wilding. The land is divided into 10 fenced enclosures. Numerous species of established and newly planted native trees and bushes. Various areas of hard-standing/parking. Modern steel portal-framed agricultural shed (16m x 12m) which incorporates a 16m x 4m lean-to with stable. ‘Keder’ 10m x 4m greenhouse and fenced allotment. The croft also comes with a share in the Edinbane Common Grazings.
Interested parties are advised to consult a solicitor specialising in Crofting Law.
