Welcome pack. Grounds with patio, sitting-out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Perched on the breathtaking coastline of north Sutherland, this stunning new-build cottage in Portskerra, Melvich, offers a masterclass in modern coastal living. As a fresh addition to the local landscape, the cottage blends contemporary luxury with the untamed beauty of the Far North, making it an idyllic retreat for those looking to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature.
The heart of the home is an expansive, open-plan living space that seamlessly integrates the lounge, kitchen, and dining areas. Bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, the interior is defined by a sense of airy freedom and warmth. On cooler Highland evenings, the crackle of the wood burner provides a cosy focal point, complemented by the consistent, gentle comfort of underfloor heating throughout. In a deliberate move to preserve the tranquility of the setting, the owner has opted for no television. Instead, there’s a collection of reading material for guests and an entertaining selection of board games. Food enthusiasts will appreciate the sleek, fully equipped kitchen and handy utility room with its drinks fridge. The cottage features two spacious bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, providing ample privacy and comfort.
Stepping outside, the covered deck area serves as your private viewing gallery over Melvich Beach and the Orkney Islands. Here, you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy an al fresco dinner while watching the water and the area’s abundant seabird population. Adventure is never far away, as the property sits within easy walking distance of the golden sands of Melvich Beach, a local favourite for surfers and beachcombers alike. This dog-friendly haven is perfectly positioned for exploring the North Coast 500. You might spend a morning wandering to the nearby Portskerra harbour or take a drive East to the more famous sites of John O’Groats and the late Queen Mother’s Castle of Mey or go West to the beautiful villages of Bettyhill and Tongue, the Smoo Caves of Durness and Cape Wrath. For a taste of local culture, the Halladale and Helmsdale rivers and local lochs offer world-class salmon and trout fishing, and the nearby newly renovated Strathnaver Museum provides a moving look into the history of the Highland Clearances.
Whether you are hiking the nearby mountains of Ben Hope and Ben Loyal, discovering the Unnesco Heritage Site of the RSPB-run Forsinard Flows or simply watching for the Northern Lights to make an appearance, this croft house is the ultimate base for an unforgettable Highland escape.
