Lot 1 – 28 Fiskavaig - Offers over £395,000
28 Fiskavaig comprises a diverse coastal residential, farming and amenity property 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, living room, 2-bedroooms and bathroom.

The house boasts a large and attractive timber veranda which provides shelter and further outdoor living area in the summer months. The house also has an EV charger installed. Located in an elevated position just to the west of the house is a timber built detached office which provides excellent accommodation for remote/home working. The house is powered and heated primarily by a 6kW wind turbine and an 11kW woodburning stove resulting in a near carbon neutral living footprint. Similarly the EV charger is powered by the wind turbine when generating thus providing carbon neutral transport. If required the house provides good potential to extend and develop further, subject to appropriate planning.

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 hide has been constructed on the hill ground to enjoy the stunning seascape views.

To the southeast of the house is a large modern general purpose shed with a poured concrete floor (13.7m x 9m) providing useful cover for machinery and forage. Attached to the shed is a lean-to for livestock (13.7m x 4.5m). 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.
