7 Carbostbeg, Carbost, Isle Of Skye, IV47 8SH

The property Calath is an architecturally designed home, by Dualchas Architects, that perfectly balances minimalist modern aesthetics with the raw beauty of its Highland setting. Featuring crisp white render, warm timber cladding, and expansive glazing, the property offers 1,680 sq ft of light-filled living space. The interior is defined by clean lines, high-quality finishes, and a neutral palette that allows the dramatic surrounding landscape to take centre stage.

The ground floor layout is designed for seamless modern living. The heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances. Large sliding glass doors open from here onto a timber deck, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor entertaining. Adjacent is the dual-aspect sitting room, a serene space featuring a minimalist multi fuel stove set on a polished black granite hearth and a spectacular picture window that perfectly frames the Cuillin mountain range. The ground floor also includes a generous principal bedroom with a contemporary en suite bathroom, and a practical utility room.

On the first floor, a bright landing leads to a versatile study or reading area, illuminated by a striking bank of skylights. This level provides two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both of which benefit from the elevated vistas, served by a stylishly appointed family shower room.

The property occupies an enviable hillside plot, approached via a sweeping private driveway that provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial detached garage. The garden is primarily laid to lawn, blending naturally into the surrounding moorland. The raised timber decking provides a magnificent vantage point for taking in the sunrises and sunsets over the water and the Cuillin mountains, offering a unique sense of peace and privacy.

The property has been run as a successful holiday let for 18 years
