Shiskine sits in Aultgrishan, a small coastal hamlet near Gairloch on the west coast of the Highlands, looking out across the Minch towards Skye and Harris.
Here the land opens to sea and sky in equal measure, with shifting light, distant hills and a shoreline that changes character with every tide.
The house rests easily in its acre of enclosed ground, with garden space that feels generous rather than ornamental and views that draw the eye outward from almost every angle.
Inside, the main living spaces are arranged to make the most of that outlook, with a bright kitchen opening through French doors to the garden and a lounge centred around a multi fuel burner that anchors the room on cooler evenings.
The flow between kitchen, dining and sitting areas feels natural and sociable, with solid wood worktops, a Belfast sink and a Rangemaster range lending the space a sense of substance rather than show.
Bedrooms in the main house are calm and well proportioned, with the principal room enjoying its own en suite and the family bathroom positioned so that even a long soak takes in the sweep of sea beyond the glass.
An additional room offers flexibility as a dining room, study or further bedroom, depending on how life here chooses to unfold.
A connecting vestibule leads to a self contained two bedroom apartment with its own entrance, currently run as a successful holiday let and capable of being locked off entirely from the main house.
The apartment’s open plan living space and en suite bedrooms allow guests or family to have independence while remaining within the same footprint of the property.
Beyond the house itself, a timber letting pod with en suite, fitted kitchen and outdoor cooking area provides a further stream of income, already compliant with current letting legislation and fully equipped.
The acre of garden includes lawn, mature shrubs, a productive polytunnel and several sheltered seating areas where the rhythm of the place can be absorbed in quiet moments.
A large garage and workshop, once used as stables, add practical depth to the property, along with ample parking and storage that suits rural living.
Aultgrishan is reached through some of the most memorable scenery in the Highlands, with beaches, hill walks and open water close at hand, while Gairloch, around ten miles away, provides shops, schooling and everyday services without disturbing the sense of distance.
Inverness lies further east as the region’s commercial centre, yet life here feels defined less by proximity to a city and more by connection to land and sea.
Shiskine represents a home that balances private retreat with shared opportunity, where family life and income potential sit side by side without competing for space.
The property is being marketed by macleod & maccallum, with full details, photographs, and viewing information available through the official listing.
