Solheimer enjoys a peaceful rural setting in Toab, within the wider Virkie area of Shetland’s South Mainland. Toab is situated towards the southern tip of Shetland Mainland, offering a wonderful combination of countryside surroundings, open landscapes and easy access to the area’s many coastal attractions.

The property is ideally placed for access to Sumburgh Airport, which is only a short drive away and provides regular flights to mainland Scotland. Lerwick is approximately 25 miles to the north, making the property well suited to those seeking a quieter lifestyle while remaining within convenient reach of the island’s main town.

The surrounding area is particularly attractive for those who enjoy the outdoors, with spectacular coastline, sandy beaches and abundant birdlife nearby. The historic sites of Jarlshof and Old Scatness are close at hand, while Sumburgh Head and its famous lighthouse provide dramatic coastal scenery and opportunities for wildlife watching, including puffins and other seabirds.

Virkie and the South Mainland provide a welcoming rural community with local amenities available in nearby Dunrossness, while the surrounding countryside, beaches and coastline offer excellent opportunities for walking, wildlife watching and exploring Shetland’s distinctive landscape.
