Here’s the best property in Skye currently on the market.

The Bridge

Located on the dramatic north coast of Skye, this property sits within the traditional crofting township of Kendram in Kilmaluag.

The main house offers three en-suite bedrooms and a generous reception space, with a bright dining hall, spacious sitting room and modern kitchen.

28 Fiskavaig

With over 33 acres of land to its name, plus a summerhouse, indoor climbing gym and holiday pod, this west coast Skye property is certainly an impressive deal. The primary timber-constructed home was built in 2009 and boasts an open plan kitchen and dining area, family room, two bedrooms and bathrooms, plus two attic bedrooms. Beyond the summerhouse and pod (with a kitchen/living area, bedroom and shower room), there is an additional pod site with construction and holiday rental potential. Like many of the properties on the Isle of Skye, this home is also an eco home. It is largely powered and heated by a woodburning stove and wind turbine, which provides additional income and powers the the EV charger. From the home you can look out to the stunning scenes of the Outer Hebrides and Macleod Table’s, or take a closer look at nature from the timber-built wildlife hide.
