The property stands within approximately 8 acres of decrofted land, with fantastic open views towards Loch Roag, also benefiting from a waterfall and stream. There is direct access from the land to the shore via a secluded stone beach - perfect for wild swimming or fishing, as well as protected mooring which has proven calm in the harshest of winter storms. Standing within the perimeter of the grounds is a traditional White House and Black House, which could be converted into holiday accommodation, or perhaps a bothy. Grants of up to 75% may be available (subject to application and conditions). The White House was re-roofed approximately 6 years ago, which also created a loft space, and it also has several fireplaces. Although the property stands on land which has been farmed for generations, the build itself is a highly modern construction, using all the best techniques to create a warm, comfortable house that’s highly effective at staying that way. The triple glazed windows ensure minimal heat loss through the glass, and the 400mm of insulation in the roof space, under the floors and inside all the walls ensures the heat you put into the house, stays in the house. Add to that the super-fast fibre to premises broadband, and you have all the best aspects for getting away from it all, whilst being able to enjoy life when you get there! To the front and side of the house, a fenced area has been created for fruit and vegetable planting, and a large polycrub has been installed - double doors at one end allow for the potential to use the polycrub for purposes other than growing, for example installing a hot tub, or vehicle parking, or a boathouse. There’s also a waterfall, and a stream that runs along the boundary of the property. Beyond the polycrub, the fenced area has been created for additional fruit and vegetable planting, as well as a large flat area created that would be suitable for a second polycrub or even a polytunnel, thanks to the amount of shelter provided by the trees and hedges which have been planted over the years. The land at the rear of the property is where approximately 1,800 willow trees have been planted for firewood, as well as other native trees for diversity and windbreak, including alder, downy and silver birch, holly, hawthorn, blackthorne, oak, lime, alba, and rowan. Two large ponds have been created, one of which has an island with an otter den. The grounds also benefit from an abundance of fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry and plum, all of which bear fruit annually, as well as a wide range of shrubs and bushes. Main Living Area - 11m x 10m This huge open space can be divided in so many ways. The large kitchen area has over 30 cupboards and features an island with breakfast bar incorporated. The flooring is hospital grade Flotex, super tough and easy to clean - scrub, steam, bleach, it can handle it all! The lounge and dining half of the room had extra thick underlay and high quality carpet on top, lovely and luxurious to walk on! There's also a multi fuel burner for cozy winter nights in front of the fire.

The White house had a new roof added around 6 years ago, as well as some tidying up done to the stonework, but other than that, they’re both fully original. The Black house is likely around 150 years old, and the White house perhaps 50 years younger. Nearby and Neighbours The landscape is the star of the show on the Islands, with the local wildlife coming a close second place. There’s no shortage of stunning views, from Bosta beach, just 10 minutes away, with its Iron Age house and Time and Tide bell, to Sea Eagles and Highland cows and otters and so much more.
