28 Fiskavaig, Carbost, Isle of Skye

A spectacular croft located on the west coast of the Isle of Skye, approximately 33.06 acres (13.38 ha) in total

The Property
28 Fiskavaig comprises a diverse coastal croft located in a stunning situation on the Isle of Skye. The property includes an attractive timber constructed larch clad house, built in 2009, which is set under a painted red corrugated metal roof. Internally the house has accommodation set out over two floors comprising an attractive open plan kitchen and dining area, family room, two bedrooms and bathroom. On the first floor there are two attic rooms currently used as bedroom accommodation. The house boasts a large timber veranda and also has an EV charger installed. Located in an elevated position to the west of the house is a timber-built summerhouse. In addition, there are two pod sites on the property (Highland Council planning ref: 24/00753/FUL). One site has a newly erected pod with a kitchen/living area, bedroom and shower room. There is further opportunity for expansion of the second site subject to the necessary consents.

The property is powered and heated primarily by a 6kW wind turbine and an 11kW woodburning stove. Similarly, the EV charger is powered by the wind turbine when generating.

The owner-occupied croft land extends to approximately 33.06 acres (13.38 ha) and comprises a block of coastal grazing ground lying from sea level to 50m above sea level and bounding onto Fiskavaig Bay. The land enjoys far reaching views to South Uist in the Outer Hebrides to the west and Macleod’s Tables to the north west. A timber-built wildlife hide has been constructed on the hill ground to enjoy the stunning seascape views.

To the south east of the house is a large modern general purpose shed with a concrete floor, currently used as an indoor climbing gym. Attached to the shed is a lean-to for livestock. There is a 6kW wind turbine, installed in 2013, generating approximately 14,000 kWh per annum resulting in a net income of approximately £4,500 per annum. The FIT contract expires in 2033 and will be transferred to the new owners.

Crofting
Aside from the house, the entire property is subject to crofting tenure (owner occupied croft). The owner of 28 Fiskavaig also benefits from a share in the North Talisker common grazings (further details from the selling agents).
