Clad in Scottish larch and fitted with triple-glazed NorDan windows and doors, the property is designed for durability, comfort and energy efficiency. Elevated above Loch Harport, Sailors Cabin enjoys panoramic sea and mountain views towards the Trotternish Ridge, offering privacy, tranquillity and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
Set within 1.35 acres of landscaped grounds, the property includes a detached 15 sq m guest annex, ideal for guest accommodation, home office, creative studio or potential holiday letting (subject to consents). The annex is fully finished with oak flooring, and benefits from water, electricity and plumbing connections, offering flexible additional space with income potential.
The main house offers bright open-plan living, two double bedrooms, a shower room with integrated sauna, separate WC, and thoughtfully designed interiors throughout. A high-efficiency wood-burning stove, Zehnder MVHR heat recovery system, and app-controlled passive heaters ensure year-round comfort and low running costs. The property is future-proofed, with connections in place for solar panels and a heat pump.
Modern living is further enhanced by high-speed fibre-optic internet, while the wiring design allows wireless systems to be switched off for a calm, low-interference environment — ideal for remote working or peaceful retreat living.
Outside, the private 1.35-acre plot is thoughtfully landscaped with birch, beech, orchard trees, willow and established planting, creating natural shelter and privacy. A gravel driveway and generous parking complete the setting.
Sailors Cabin offers a rare opportunity to acquire a modern eco home, second home, or luxury holiday retreat on the Isle of Skye.
