On the northern shore of Tiree, where white sand beaches meet turquoise water and the Atlantic stretches uninterrupted towards the horizon, Whitehouse occupies one of the island’s most remarkable coastal settings.
Standing above Balephetrish Bay, the house looks across a landscape where sea, sky and open machair define everyday life, creating a home that feels inseparable from the island itself.

Approached along a quiet island road, the traditional stone house sits naturally within its surroundings.

Its white rendered walls, slate roof and simple proportions reflect Tiree’s distinctive architectural character, while careful refurbishment has introduced contemporary comfort without losing the building’s original identity.

Inside, the accommodation has been designed around light, openness and the views beyond.

The dining room is one of the home’s defining spaces, with an entire glazed wall and French doors drawing the coastline into the room while opening directly onto the stone terrace.
It is easy to imagine long summer evenings here, with daylight lingering across the bay long after much of Scotland has slipped into darkness.

The adjoining living room continues that connection with the landscape.
A vaulted timber ceiling adds warmth and character, while the multi fuel stove provides a welcoming focal point during the quieter winter months.

The kitchen remains practical and generous, offering ample space for family life without losing sight of the relaxed atmosphere that runs throughout the house.

The four bedrooms are arranged across two floors, allowing the property to adapt comfortably to family life, visiting guests or those looking for a retreat from the mainland.

Bathrooms on both levels reinforce the home’s flexibility, while the attached garage and utility room add practicality to everyday living.
Outside, the lawned gardens are enclosed by traditional stone walls and hedging, creating sheltered outdoor spaces that complement rather than compete with the dramatic scenery beyond.

From almost every angle, the eye is drawn back towards Balephetrish Bay, where the changing light transforms the colours of the sea from hour to hour.
Life on Tiree follows a different rhythm.
Known as one of the sunniest places in the United Kingdom, the island has earned an international reputation for its white beaches, crystal clear waters, windsurfing and wildlife, while retaining a close knit community that has shaped island life for generations.
Ferries connect Tiree with Oban, while regular flights provide links to both Oban and Glasgow, allowing residents to enjoy island life without feeling entirely disconnected from the mainland.
Whitehouse has also established itself as a successful holiday property, offering the opportunity for a new owner to continue an existing business or simply enjoy it as a private family home.
What makes this property exceptional is not simply the house itself.
It is the setting.
There are few places in Scotland where a home sits so naturally within such an extraordinary coastal landscape.
On Tiree, the Atlantic is never far away, and at Whitehouse it becomes part of everyday life.
The property is being marketed by Savills, with full details, photographs and viewing information available through the official listing.
