2 bedroom detached house for sale

Sailors Cabin is a contemporary and highly efficient two-bedroom eco home, designed and built to an exacting Swiss passive-house standard. Completed in 2022, the property combines modern architectural clarity with warm, natural materials, resulting in a robust yet inviting home purpose-built for Skye’s dramatic climate. Finished in Scottish larch cladding, with storm-sheltered terraces and triple-glazed NorDan windows and doors, the house has been designed for durability, comfort, and longevity. Set in an elevated position, Sailors Cabin enjoys far-reaching views across Loch Harport towards the Trotternish Ridge. The property sits within beautifully maintained, landscaped grounds and includes a detached 15 sq m annex, ideal for guest accommodation, studio use, or potential holiday letting (subject to the relevant consents and STL licence). The annex benefits from electricity and water connections, with plumbing in place, and is fully finished, furnished, and completed with real oak flooring.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, open-plan kitchen/dining room, living room, two double bedrooms, a W.C., and a shower room with an integrated sauna. Heating is provided by a high-efficiency wood-burning stove, complemented by a Zehnder MVHR heat recovery system, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the home, alongside app-controlled passive electric heaters for remote convenience. The property has been future-proofed, with all necessary connections already in place for the installation of solar panels and a heat pump, should a new owner wish to enhance the system further. High-speed fibre-optic internet is installed, while the wiring design allows wireless systems to be fully switched off, creating a calm, low-interference living environment if desired. The architecture and interiors feature high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Selected furniture pieces may be available by separate negotiation.

Externally, the property occupies a generous and private garden plot extending to approximately 1.35 acres. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped and planted with birch, beech, orchard trees, and willow, alongside established shrubs and escallonia hedging, creating both shelter and privacy. Access is taken from the township road via a shared access track, leading into the fully enclosed grounds. A gravel driveway provides ample parking to the rear of the property.

Sailors Cabin represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive, architect-designed home or retreat in an outstanding coastal setting. The plot offers scope for further development or extension of the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. Combining privacy, sustainability, and refined design, the property must be viewed to fully appreciate the quality of accommodation and lifestyle on offer.
