Superb lodge on the Knoydart Peninsula with its own beach and breathtaking views.
Description
Nestled on the picturesque cove of Doune Bay, on the western shore of the breathtaking Knoydart Peninsula, the sale of Doune Bay Lodge is a rarely available opportunity to acquire a turnkey property in a spectacular setting on its own beach.
Doune Bay Lodge has been renovated to a high standard and is currently operating as a successful holiday let. The property is completely off-grid, with power supplied from a solar PV and micro hydro system. The location is wonderfully remote - getting to Doune involves catching the frequent passenger ferry from Mallaig to Inverie, followed by a 5.5 mile drive on the only road on Knoydart and then a short 1km walk on a track. The current owners also have their own boat for direct access (available by further negotiation) with moorings and access to a pier, slipway and commercial sized boat shed.
The property offers an expansive and versatile layout, comprising five generously proportioned en suite bedrooms over two levels, all with stunning views. The principal bedroom enjoys extraordinary views from the full height patio doors leading onto the outside deck. The open-plan living and dining area forms the heart of the property, featuring large windows that frame panoramic views over the Sound of Sleat to the Isle of Skye and the Cuillin mountain range. The contemporary kitchen is well-appointed with a range cooker, variety of mounted cabinetry and access through the full height patio doors onto the elevated deck.
The property is set within around 2 acres of its own land, which includes the shorefront. At the back of the property there is a store/workshop with separate access and its own shower room. A lifestyle property such as Doune Bay Lodge would also not be complete without its own boathouse, offering the ideal storage space for water-based activities. A 10m coded faster charter boat; dingy, 8-seater car and quad are all available by further negotiation.
The property is currently undergoing installation of its own independent services which will be fitted prior to completion of the sale. For further information, please contact the selling agent.
