Sailors Cabin is a modern and sustainable two bedroom eco home built to a high Swiss passive house standard. Completed in 2022 the property was conceived to blend modernist minimalism with warm, natural materials creating a unique home built to withstand Skye's weather, the home features Scottish Larch cladding, storm-protected terraces and triple glazed NorDan windows and doors. Occupying an elevated position the property affords stunning views over Loch Harport towards the Trotternish Ridge. Sailors Cabin sits within attractive, landscaped garden grounds complete with a 15 sq meter annex which offers flexibility to be used as a studio or guest accommodation with the potential for use as a holiday let subject to obtaining the relevant consents and STL licence. The Cabin has electricity and water connected with all plumbing in place.

The accommodation within comprises of entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, living room, two double bedrooms, W.C and shower room with sauna. The property further benefits from heating by way of a wood burning stove and MVHR system by Zehnder along with app-controlled passive electric heaters for remote convenience. The current owners have all the connections in place for future integration of solar panels and a heat pump should the new owners wish. The architecture and interiors have been designed by Swiss-based studio Vinval Gestaltung using high end fittings and fixtures, the furniture is available by way of separate negotiation.

Externally the property sits within a substantial, private garden plot extending to 1.35 acres. The landscaped gardens have been planted with birch, beech and willow trees complimented with shrubs and escallonia hedging. Access is granted from the township road by a shared access road leading into the fully enclosed gardens with ample parking available to the rear of the property on the gravel driveway. Available by separate negotiation, prospective buyers have the opportunity to acquire an adjoining building plot extending to 0.4 acres offering the potential for further development or expansion to the existing grounds.
