A Quiet Croft and Building Plot Near Dunvegan on Skye

spot_imgspot_imgspot_imgspot_img

The plot and croft at 26 and 27 Kilmuir sits in open ground just outside Dunvegan, where the land levels out and the sky does most of the talking.

This part of Skye feels settled rather than exposed, with space around it that gives a sense of calm without isolation.

The land extends across a decrofted building plot alongside owner occupied croft ground, offering room to build while remaining connected to the working character of the area.

What stands out immediately is the openness, with long views across the surrounding landscape and towards MacLeod’s Tables, which anchor the horizon without overwhelming it.

The site itself is relatively flat, making it feel approachable and usable rather than dramatic for the sake of it.

Access is taken from the township road, keeping the plot connected to the local pattern of life rather than set apart from it.

Planning permission in principle has been granted for a single storey or one and a half storey dwelling, allowing flexibility without prescribing what the finished home should be.

That permission creates certainty while still leaving space for individual choice, which is often what matters most at this stage.

The surrounding croft land gives the site context and breathing room, reinforcing the sense that this is a place shaped by land use rather than subdivision.

Kilmuir sits close enough to Dunvegan to remain practical, while still feeling removed from traffic and seasonal noise.

Daily life here is defined more by light, weather, and landscape than by passing movement, which gives the area its quiet confidence.

This is a setting that suits someone willing to take their time, plan carefully, and build with intention rather than urgency.

The plot and croft offer a rare balance between permission and possibility, where the land is ready but not rushed.

It represents an opportunity to create a home that belongs to Skye rather than sitting on it.

The property is being marketed by Isle of Skye Estate Agency, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
