Description

Constructed in the early 20th century, this distinctive property occupies approximately an acre of land in the picturesque village of Aultbea, Scotland. Set in an elevated position, it boasts expansive views over the surrounding landscape and Loch Ewe. The versatile 123m² home contains four bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside traditional features such as an open fire and log burner. Oil central heating and supplementary solar-heated water enhance its energy efficiency. While currently functioning as a self-catering business with established operations on platforms like Unique Cottages, it presents a significant opportunity for development. With some work, this could transition into a charming long-term residence or even expand its commercial capacity. The land includes storage sheds and an outbuilding that requires repairs but could be transformed into additional living space or storage solutions. The property's historic character is complemented by its modern functionality—including Wi-Fi access and family-friendly amenities—creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests. With various development possibilities such as maintaining the self-catering business year-round, converting to a bed-and-breakfast model, or even transforming the property entirely into residential use, the potential here is substantial. An investment in this property not only secures a unique Highland retreat but also offers avenues for financial growth through strategic renovation and expansion.
