Contemporary island home with spectacular panoramic views.
Occupying a magnificent elevated position above Loch Dunvegan, Sunset View is a striking contemporary home enjoying truly breath-taking panoramic views across the water towards the Outer Hebrides. Refurbished by the current owners to an exceptional standard, the house successfully marries a traditional external appearance with a light filled, modern interior, carefully designed to maximise its outstanding vantage point, coastal setting and its name defining sunsets.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels and extends to four bedrooms, two of which are ensuite. At the heart of the house sits an impressive open plan living and dining room, a expansive space that enjoys excellent natural light and far reaching views from multiple aspects. A particularly striking feature of the property is the bespoke two storey glass gable end extension. On the ground floor, this takes the form of a well-positioned snug which looks out through large sliding glass doors that open directly onto the terrace. Above, the extension rises to form an extraordinary part of the principal bedroom suite, where full height and angled glazing creates an elevated, almost ‘floating’ viewing platform. Leading off the main living/dining area, a welcoming conservatory is positioned at the front of the house, designed as a dedicated viewing space flooded with natural light. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious and well appointed kitchen, centred around a large island and complemented by generous workspace and a range of wall and floor mounted cabinetry. Adjacent is a practical utility room along with WC, while a guest bedroom with ensuite shower room provides excellent flexibility for visiting family or multi generational living.
Upstairs, the three well proportioned double bedrooms are arranged around the central landing. The principle bedroom suite is a standout feature, enjoying generous proportions, an en-suite shower room and direct access into the glass gable end extension, creating a serene and light filled retreat with some of the best views in the house. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom fitted with a modern three piece suite.
Externally, the property sits within generous, attractively terraced garden grounds, thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of the elevated position. Flagged patio areas and seating terraces provide excellent spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining against the dramatic coastal backdrop. The gardens also incorporate a charming summer house, a rear store and a substantial polytunnel, offering excellent versatility for hobbies, storage or growing produce. A large detached double garage provides secure parking and storage, benefitting from electric power, electrically operated doors and ample off road parking within the grounds.

Sunset View truly lives up to its name. Until you are standing at the property you do not truly get a sense of have expansive the views are - it is an exceptional, panoramic vantage point over the Outer Hebrides.
