Set amidst the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands, this exceptional open plan longhouse offers a peaceful and secluded escape on a wild two acre property just 13 miles from Ullapool, on the tranquil south shore of Loch Broom. Only a five minute walk from the water’s edge, the house blends creative character with modern comfort, making it an inspiring retreat for walkers, writers, artists, and anyone seeking an authentic Highland experience immersed in nature.
Filled with original artwork, including paintings, textiles, and ceramics, the longhouse has been thoughtfully designed to bring together space, light, and creativity. Expansive views, natural materials, and a calm atmosphere make it a sanctuary for reflection and relaxation. An extensive private library invites quiet days indoors, while the rugged landscape outside offers endless opportunities for adventure. The nearby shoreline and Loggie Bay provide breathtaking views across the loch to Ullapool, where guests can enjoy kayaking, sailing, beachcombing, or refreshing cold water swims.
The longhouse sits within a small working boatyard, home to a traditional wooden boatbuilder living in a 150 year old croft house, and a resident painter’s studio that enriches the artistic spirit of the land. The grounds have been intentionally preserved in their natural state, attracting a diverse array of birds and frequent visits from local deer.
Inside, the house is warm, bright, and inviting, with underfloor heating throughout the open plan living and kitchen area creating year round comfort. The property is well suited to guests with limited mobility, offering level access and a fully accessible wet room. Three private bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility: a ground floor king size room with an en suite, a flexible twin room that can be prepared as a king, and a smaller double bedroom upstairs. A second wet room serves the remaining rooms.
Upstairs, a peaceful studio style sitting area offers a lovely spot to enjoy a film, complete a jigsaw, read, or watch the stars through the skylight. The longhouse sits at the end of a private, unmade track, ensuring complete seclusion and ample parking for up to four vehicles.
The kitchen is well equipped with a four ring electric cooker, oven, grill, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, and dishwasher, along with a washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing facilities, high chair, and travel cot. Entertainment options include a DVD player with a selection of films, a CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, board games, and Lego for younger guests. Luxury bed linen and towels are provided, and well behaved animals are warmly welcomed.
Whether you come for creativity, solitude, or Highland adventure, this beautifully designed longhouse offers a rare combination of wilderness, comfort, and mobility friendly design in one unforgettable setting on Loch Broom.
