Carter’s Rest is an exceptional coastal property occupying a spectacular position in Upper Milovaig, within the sought-after Glendale area of the Isle of Skye. Commanding uninterrupted views across Loch Pooltiel and the Little Minch towards the Isle of Harris, the setting is both dramatic and peaceful, offering a rare sense of seclusion amidst some of Scotland’s most celebrated scenery. Currently operated as a successful guest house, the property enjoys an excellent reputation and strong year-round occupancy, while equally presenting an attractive opportunity as a substantial private residence, with a highly flexible layout suited to a variety of uses.

The accommodation is well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged to maximise the spectacular outlook. At the heart of the home lies an impressive sitting room with an adjoining sun room, together creating an expansive living space that is flooded with natural light and enjoys sweeping panoramic coastal views. The sitting room is elegantly arranged around a wood-burning stove, with uninterrupted vistas across the coastline extending towards the distant outline of the Outer Hebrides, forming a striking and ever-present backdrop. Leading through the central hallway, the contemporary kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and floor mounted cabinetry, Rangemaster and breakfasting bar. A handy utility area with rear access is located off.

A self-contained apartment on the ground floor, accessible both internally and via a private entrance, provides a spacious double bedroom, bathroom and living area with kitchenette, offering excellent flexibility for guest accommodation or ancillary use.

On the first floor are three en suite double bedrooms, each individually styled and enjoying ever-changing views. A two-storey annex to the rear currently serves as private owners’ accommodation, comprising a living room (currently in use as a studio/workshop) with scope for kitchen installation, and a double bedroom with en suite above, allowing for clear separation between owner and guest areas if required.

Externally, the property is set within attractive enclosed garden grounds, laid mainly to lawn with a variety of mature planting, and a large gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to a 7 kw e-charger.

A particularly notable feature is the outdoor sauna, positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching sea views, while a separate shed outbuilding offers useful workshop and storage space.
