From the Inigo Listing:
This incredible group of three houses is found on the Isle of Skye’s beautiful, dramatic north-eastern coastline. Mint Croft is made up of a Croft House, a Blackhouse and a recently completed black corrugated metal-clad Bothy, as well as useful outbuildings and just under seven acres of croft land. The current owners, a professional builder and designer, have carefully restored the two older houses over the years of their custodianship, researching traditional construction techniques and doing much of the work themselves. The result are these impressive and unique houses, each full of original features, new additions and spectacular views over the croft land, the sea and nearby islands.
