It’s worth noting this property is available for purchase as a whole or in two lots.

Just imagine relaxing in the bright sitting room with the relaxing seaside views. Additionally, Grandfather’s House dates from 1901featuring chunky stone construction and a cozy getaway for guests.
Lot 2 includes Gannet and Fulmar cottages. With jaw-dropping views of Scarista beach, these newer builds (2007 & 2008) incorporate timber paneling, oak floors, and comfortable bathrooms with sauna for guests.
The Beachview Cottages are currently advertised as 5-star properties that are wild and wonderfully remote. The site includes a short and sweet video of the cottages and island. Check out the reviews for yourself! Guests love the extraordinary views and wildlife, tranquility, and comfortable amenities of the cottages.
Living in the Outer Hebrides isn’t for the faint of heart – but you may just find there is no place you’d rather be.
From the Listing:
Each cottage has been sensitively designed to sit comfortably in the landscape; the beautiful
natural stone work blends in naturally, while the construction is of an excellent standard,
including high levels of insulation and air source heat pumps which ensure minimal running costs.
The accommodation is beautifully appointed and the interiors have been carefully planned to
be both comfortable and, using natural finishes, to reflect the romance and atmosphere of the
beautiful and rugged setting.
Take a Gander... what's nearby?
Isle of Harris is well regarded for its white sand beaches, and Scarista Beach is no exception! Go for a walk, hunt for seashells, or pack a picnic – right out your front door.
Recognised as one of the most picturesque 9 holes courses in the world, the Isle of Harris Golf Club was first set up in 1930 and through hard work and dedication it is now considered to be a first class links course. Annual fees are reasonable and the course welcomes visitors.
A 3 mile walk suitable for all ages, Northton Temple is a ruined chapel which dates from 1528. It served as the parish church for the whole of Harris before falling into disuse in the early 16th century.
