7 Big Sand, Gairloch, IV21 2DD

Situated in the scenic township of Big Sand, this generously sized croft extending to approximately 1.42 hectares offers an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke home in a peaceful and highly sought-after coastal setting. Known as Croft 7 Big Sand, the land enjoys a pleasant sense of privacy while remaining part of a small and established crofting community. The croft includes a ruined house, which adds character and interest to the site, along with a Kedar polytunnel that supports small-scale growing and crofting use.

The croft benefits from attractive views towards the sea and across to the Isle of Skye, providing a striking and ever-changing backdrop. The elevated and open nature of the land enhances the sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal setting for a thoughtfully designed home.

Full planning permission was previously granted for a one and a half storey dwelling under reference 07/00551 FULRC, confirming the sites suitability for residential development and offering a valuable starting point for prospective purchasers. For reference, the croft is registered as R1819 on the Crofting Commission Register of Crofts (ROC) under location code 749/0145. The croft includes a share in the Big Sand common grazing.

Access to the croft is via a track which forms part of the land and also provides access to the croft beyond, ensuring practical and established access. The generous landholding offers scope for a range of uses associated with crofting or small-scale rural living, subject to the usual consents.

This property will appeal to buyers seeking a lifestyle opportunity, including those wishing to build a permanent family home, a rural retreat or a crofting residence in an outstanding coastal location. It is particularly well suited to those drawn to space, views and tranquillity while still valuing a sense of community and the character of the West Coast Highlands.
