Sailors Cabin, 10A Fiscavaig, Carbost, Isle of Skye, IV47 8SN

DESCRIPTION
Sailors Cabin is an amazing architect-designed Eco House built to Swiss Passive-House Standard, with a focus on sustainability, set in spacious and private garden grounds of approximately 1.35 acres. The house has been built and situated to follow the sun all year round, with windows and doors positioned to maximize the inlet of natural light. High ceilings (3.65m) in the hallway and kitchen featuring Skylight windows allow natural light to flow into the open-plan living area creating a spacious and light living environment and allowing enjoyment of starry nights from the comfort of the home. Panoramic sea and mountain views across Loch Harport towards the Trotternish Ridge can be enjoyed from the property, with external seating areas created to maximize the views. With a wood burner designed and built for a passive house, the heating of the property is perfectly regulated, with the wood burner providing both underfloor heating in the office corridor, heating the central area of the house, as well as the hot water. The property provides an extremely comfortable and luxury living environment, with a built-in Sauna and high spec finishings. The sheltered outdoor decking area can be accessed through the lounge and dining kitchen, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living throughout the seasons. The property would make an ideal and comfortable home for a small family, people working from home with a designated workspace in the open plan living area, or those looking for a new, but comfortable adventure in their retirement. Subject to the obtainment of an STL License, the property would also be an exceptional luxury holiday home, located nearby the renowned Talisker distillery.
