Description
Torrabus is a peaceful rural area located in the beautiful northeast of the Isle of Islay, one of Scotland’s most celebrated Hebridean islands. Surrounded by rolling hills, open farmland, and sweeping views toward the Sound of Islay, Torrabus offers an authentic taste of island life — tranquil, scenic, and steeped in natural beauty.
The area is best known for its close connection to Islay’s famous whisky heritage. The Ardnahoe Distillery, one of the island’s newest and most picturesque distilleries, lies nearby, while Bunnahabhain and Caol Ila are just a short drive along the coast. From Torrabus, you can enjoy easy access to stunning walking routes, wildlife spotting, and panoramic viewpoints that take in the dramatic Paps of Jura across the water.
Despite its serene setting, Torrabus is only a 10–15 minute drive from Port Askaig, the island’s main ferry terminal, providing convenient links to the Scottish mainland. It’s also within reach of local amenities in nearby villages such as Keills and Bowmore.
For anyone seeking space, peace, and the essence of Islay’s natural charm, Torrabus offers an exceptional setting — ideal for a permanent home, holiday retreat, or lifestyle investment.
Nestled in one of Islay’s most breath taking settings, Torrabus Farmhouse presents a truly rare opportunity to craft your dream island home. This charming traditional farmhouse is a blank canvas, brimming with potential to be transformed into a magnificent family residence or a unique business venture.
Set against sweeping views of rolling countryside and the distant Sound of Islay , the property’s large steading courtyard offers an exceptional space to develop—whether for workshops, guest accommodation, or creative enterprises. The expansive grounds and generous interiors invite imagination, providing the perfect foundation to blend rustic heritage with modern living.
Here, you’re not just buying a house; you’re embracing an unparalleled lifestyle on the world-famous Isle of Islay—where natural beauty, tranquility, and community come together to create a truly special place to call home.
Torrabus is a substantial farmhouse occupying a commanding, elevated position, offering uninterrupted coastal views stretching across to the iconic Paps of Jura.

The ground floor features several large, open-plan rooms, providing immense flexibility to design your ideal living spaces. Upstairs, the layout comprises three double bedrooms and a bathroom, offering comfortable accommodation with potential to personalise.
Adjacent to the main house, a collection of substantial stone outbuildings encloses a charming courtyard, rich with character and rustic charm. These versatile structures provide an exceptional opportunity to create additional living quarters, a bright and inspiring studio, or a practical workshop—perfect for those seeking space to pursue creative or business ventures. With thoughtful design, these buildings could also be fully integrated into the main farmhouse, transforming the property into a truly expansive and distinctive home that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern living.
