While getting away from it all is a dream for many, remote homes may also require off-grid energy solutions. We’ve rounded up three properties which offer self-sustainable living for those who would prefer not to see their neighbours.
9. Brae Cottage, Torboll, Dornoch, Sutherland. Offers over £130,000
Brae Cottage sits in the hills of Sutherland, with a burn and an abundance of wildlife on the doorstep. The single track road is infrequently used, and provides a route between The Mound (A9) and Bonar Bridge. The villages of Golspie, six miles north, and Dornoch, eight miles east, have local amenities. Tain, 14 miles south, has major supermarkets. | Monster Moves
10. Brae Cottage, Torboll, Dornoch, Sutherland. Offers over £130,000
Currently laid out as a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom over two floors, the house would need to be taken back to the stone walls and a new layout created within. It is currently deemed to be uninhabitable. The property sits in about two acres of its own land, sufficient for self-sustainable living. It is surrounded by stunning views of the Creag Dail na Meine and Beinn Domhnaill hills, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting. Contact: Monster Moves, Golspie | Monster Moves
