Description
The Retreat offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a building plot in a stunning waterside location in the scenic township of Harlosh on Skye's rugged west coast, affording stunning views over Loch Bracadale towards the Cuillin Mountains.
Extending to 2 acres or thereby (to be confirmed by title deeds), The Retreat, Harlosh is a stunning shoreside plot affording panoramic views over Loch Bracadale towards the Cuillin and is ideally positioned to take in the stunning setting. The site offers the purchaser the opportunity to create a bespoke home in a truly special location.
Access will be taken directly from the quiet township road with services believed to be located close by.
