Set at the entrance to the Balnakeil Craft Village near Durness, Unit 2 occupies a quietly prominent position in one of the most striking and remote corners of the north west Highlands.
Here, the landscape opens out into wide skies, pale sands, and open moorland, with the Atlantic shaping both the light and the rhythm of daily life.
The building itself sits within a small, established craft village that has grown organically into a close knit mix of makers, small businesses, and residents, rather than a manufactured destination.
Currently operating as a café, the unit presents as a solid, modern structure that feels practical, adaptable, and well grounded in its surroundings.
Inside, the main space opens up generously, offering scale and light that immediately suggests flexibility rather than a single fixed use.
Large doors lead out to a paved area, blurring the boundary between inside and out and reinforcing the sense of openness that defines this part of the coast.
To the rear, the layout becomes more functional, with kitchen, storage, and service areas arranged in a way that supports both commercial use and future reimagining.
The proportions of the building allow it to be read in different ways, whether retained as a working space, adapted into a single home, or divided into two residential units, subject to the appropriate consents.
Beyond the building, the plot extends further than might be expected, offering outdoor space that feels like an asset rather than an afterthought.
This additional ground introduces scope for further development, whether that takes the form of another structure or simply space to breathe in an already expansive setting.
Balnakeil itself is a place defined by scale and simplicity, where white sand beaches sit alongside old military buildings, croft land, and working community spaces.
Despite its remote feel, the area draws both locals and visitors, creating a steady flow of people who value craft, food, and authenticity over spectacle.
Living or working here means accepting distance as part of the appeal, with Durness providing essential amenities and the wider Highlands offering connection without intrusion.
This is a property that will suit someone with imagination and patience, who understands that in places like this, opportunity comes from alignment with place rather than trying to impose something on it.
The unit is being marketed by McEwan Fraser Legal, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
