This home allows you to embrace a unique and rewarding way of life, where entrepreneurial adventure and tranquil living coexist seamlessly in one of the most stunning and remote parts of the Scottish Highlands.


From the moment you enter the stunning home you're greeted with a feeling of space and light. Beautifully modernized throughout, the home effortlessly combines traditional character with contemporary comforts and modern neutral décor.

From the living room you enter the open-plan kitchen and dining area, an inviting space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A charming multi-fuel stove warms the dining area, which is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is fitted with traditional white cabinets complemented by modern fixtures, including a pristine ceramic sink and free-standing cooker.

Down a few steps, a generously sized utility room keeps laundry neatly out of sight, with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus extra storage space, helping to make life that bit easier for you. From the utility room you enter a family bathroom, complete with bath and electric shower overhead, toilet and sink. Above this section of the house on a separate floor is an additional bedroom, ideal for guests or family or perhaps as a home office. This room features built-in storage and its own cosy atmosphere.

The accommodation spreads across three floors, and from climbing the stairs in the main hallway you find two bright and spacious en-suite bedrooms. Both feature Velux windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The master bedroom offers an en-suite with a luxurious bath and electric shower, while the second double bedroom boasts an en-suite with a large walk-in shower. The landing at the top of the stairs is a generous space itself, with room for a sofa or other seating, providing another spot for tranquil reflection.

Heating is efficiently powered by a full oil-fired central heating system, keeping the entire house warm and comfortable year-round. The property also benefits from uPVC double glazing, helping with energy efficiency. Stepping outside, the private garden is an idyllic space to relax, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and coastline, a perfect spot for children to play or for hosting summer barbecues.

The attached Norse Bakehouse, part of this unique property, is not just a business, it's a turnkey opportunity for anyone ready to step into a profitable, well-established venture. Situated along the renowned North Coast 500 route, the café enjoys a constant stream of customers, from tourists exploring the scenic Highlands, to loyal locals.
