A croft tenancy at 3 Borsham in the Bays of Harris has come to market, offering a rare opportunity to secure land in one of the most striking landscapes in the Western Isles.
Set near Finsbay on the Isle of Harris, the croft extends to around 15.2 acres, where open moorland meets rocky coastline and wide Atlantic horizons.
This part of Harris is known worldwide for its raw natural beauty, where white beaches, sea lochs and heather covered hills shape a landscape that feels both ancient and alive.
The croft itself sits in an enviable position, with open views across Loch Finsbay and towards the sea beyond.
Included within the tenancy is a de crofted house site of around 0.35 acres, already granted planning permission for a five bedroom home with parking.
The proposed house site has been positioned to capture the surrounding views, offering a chance to build a substantial family home in a truly dramatic coastal setting.
For many buyers the appeal will be the opportunity to combine a house build with the wider possibilities that croft land provides.
Traditionally crofts were used for livestock and vegetables, and that agricultural heritage remains part of their identity today.
However crofting has evolved, and land like this can open doors to a wide range of uses including tourism ventures, forestry, renewable energy projects or small scale farming, subject to the necessary approvals.
With more than fifteen acres included, the scale of the croft gives buyers genuine flexibility to shape how the land is used.
The Bays of Harris are widely regarded as one of the most scenic parts of the Outer Hebrides, with sweeping Atlantic beaches, dramatic rock formations and a sense of space that feels increasingly rare.
Nearby Leverburgh provides local amenities including a shop, school, community facilities and churches, helping anchor the area within a close knit island community.
For those drawn to the idea of building a home while embracing the crofting lifestyle, opportunities like this rarely appear on the market.
This is land with history, potential and extraordinary views, offering a chance to create something truly personal in one of Scotland’s most celebrated landscapes.
The croft is being marketed by Western Isles Properties, with full details and enquiries available through the official listing.
