Property Description

Located in one of the most spectacular coastal locations and boasting stunning views over the Sound of Sleat to the Cuillins of Skye and beyond, the sale of Samadalan offers a very rare and unique opportunity to purchase a charming detached cottage. Lovingly renovated to create a sustainable family home, the property offers a micro hydro scheme providing electricity, private water supply and an endless fruit and vegetable garden. In addition to the main property is an annexe which was previously used as a smokery, however subject to planning, could provide extra accommodation or indeed a delightful self-catering opportunity.

Known as one of the last wilderness areas in Britain, the Knoydart Peninsula is situated on the shores of Loch Nevis (Loch of Heaven), stretching round to the Sound of Sleat and is serviced daily by the fast water taxi ferries who run several sailings everyday all year round across the sheltered sea loch (25 mins crossing). The village of Inverie, 7 miles distant, holds the majority of local amenities, including the Nursery School, Primary School, Library, Post Office, Community Shops, Knoydart Pottery & Tearoom and four restaurants. The nearest neighbours to Samadalan are in Airor, 1 mile from the property.

As well as providing an ideal retreat to get-away-from-it-all, Knoydart offers an array of activities such as Munro bagging with three Munros on its doorstep, bike trails, sea angling, kayaking, diving and boat trips, with the prospect of spotting dolphins and seals, Minke whales, orcas, otters and eagles and boasts its own Ranger Service who leads walks for all levels.

Grounds The current owners have created wonderful grounds which feature fruit trees, bushes and vegetable gardens. There is a large outbuilding which adjoins the annexe, a polytunnel and large greenhouse running the length of the main house. There is a grazing field located to the west which the owner previously used for livestock.

Services The property is somewhat self-sufficient. The electricity is almost entirely generated by a micro hydro generator and backed up by a diesel generator. The water is from a private supply, collected from the same supply as the hydro. Drainage is to a septic tank. The property has 4G mobile phone connection, a landline and superfast broadband also.
