Braes Of Achvraie - Site 1, Achiltibuie, Ullapool, Wester Ross, IV26

Braes of Achvraie lies close to the village of Achiltibuie in Wester Ross, famous for its beautiful setting, with scattered houses following the shoreline and stunning views to the Summer Isles, a cluster of mainly uninhabited islands in The Minch.

Achiltibuie falls within the Coigach Peninsula, one of the most dramatic parts of the western Highlands and part of Scotland’s first European Geopark, an area recognised globally for its outstanding geological features, cultural heritage and forward thinking communities. The area has sandy beaches and is popular for sea kayaking, diving, sea fishing and island cruises, while the picturesque harbour of Old Dornie is close by and provides a sheltered mooring for boats. This beautiful coastline sits against a backdrop of spectacular mountain scenery, home to a wide variety of native wildlife and providing ideal hill walking and climbing.

Coigach is a thriving and active community well served by a range of facilities including a post office, 3 shops, primary school, community centre, church, well-known hotel, and petrol station. Ullapool, about 25 miles away, has a secondary school as well as further shops and amenities including a major supermarket, leisure centre and ferry terminal. Inverness, less than 2 hours’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe.

Braes of Achvraie lies to the south-east of the village and adjacent to the single-track road which continues to its end further along the peninsula. The site rises gently from the road to give stunning, south-facing elevated views to the Summer Isles, while heather moorland and Ben Mor Coigach create a dramatic backdrop.
The whole site has been sensitively designed so no plot overlooks another, and each has its own spectacular water and island views. An access track from the public road has been installed and runs to each plot while electricity and water have been taken to the edge of each site and drainage will be to a septic tank.
