Description Harris Highland Dream is a stunning property set on the shores of Loch Shin with land that extends to 168 acres of hill and native woodland with the associated sporting and fishing rights. The east end of the property forms a narrow strip of ground between the A838 public road and the loch widening towards the west to provide an attractive area of open hill with birch woodland and extensive loch frontage. Built by R.House with sympathy to the landscape, the property is clad in larch with a black painted sinusoidal roofing. Harris Highland Dream benefits from being off-grid with solar panels feeding a generator for electricity and the water from a borehole.

Internally the property has high quality fixtures and fittings throughout including oak or tiled floors and oak doors and it is orientated to take advantage of the stunning panoramic views. The current owners have added luxury features throughout the property with the highest attention to detail thus making Harris Highland Dream a truly exceptional home.

The open plan kitchen/living room is bright and spacious with triple aspect windows including floor to ceiling windows enjoying loch and mountain views. The living area has wood burning stove set on a slate hearth ensuring cosy evenings in. French doors open to the garden area.

The modern designer kitchen has an excellent range of quality floor and wall units with a composite work surface and complementary sink unit which benefits from an independent hot water system which gives instant boiling water. There is a Siemens five ring gas hob and integrated Miele fridge and separate fridge freezer and also a built-in eye level top of the range Siemens oven and grill. An island in the centre of the kitchen gives excellent extra storage and good preparation space. Returning to the hall and doors lead to the utility room, sung/bedroom 4, bathroom and master bedroom. The utility room has further units which complement the kitchen with a composite worksurface and sink. There is a Hotpoint washing machine and Samsung dryer and a further storage can be found in a large storage cupboard.

There are two further double bedrooms, both with Velux windows enjoying views to the loch and mountains beyond and completing the internal accommodation is a further luxury shower room with walk in shower with mains drench head shower, wash hand basin and WC with douche spray.

Outside There is a large undercover area outside the front door which is an ideal kit room or log store, a door leads from here to the garage which has light and power and double doors. The property is surrounded by gravelled areas which offer plenty of extra parking space and areas for outdoor entertaining. There is a track to the waters edge and also a track to the main road. The area where the house is sited is surrounded by deer fencing. The land provides sheltered wintering ground for red, roe and sika deer which are regularly seen on both the open hill and within the woodland throughout the year. The range of wildlife provides a purchaser with interesting sporting or photographic opportunities or simply the enjoyment of experiencing spectacular flora and fauna close at hand in a paradisiacal setting. The property includes the riparian rights to fish for brown trout on Loch Shin from the shore or by boat. This area of the loch is well known for wild trout of considerable size with a 17lb ferox trout recently caught from the shore at Overscaig immediately to the west. Whilst much of the shoreline falls steeply to the loch providing elevated views to both west and east, the lower ground towards the east provides a number of attractive and sheltered bays around the outflow of the Garbh Allt burn which lend themselves to boat mooring over the summer.

Apart from the shelter and amenity provided by the natural topography, the birch woodlands also provide the property with a high degree of privacy whilst at the same time maintaining convenient access to the public road. Planning Consent was previously granted for a second property on the Estate. Location Harris Highland Dream is in an idyllic location fronting on to Loch Shin in central Sutherland.
