Sustainable Luxury on Scotland’s North West Coast
An exceptional eco-friendly home designed by Makar, one of the UK’s leading pioneers in sustainable home construction, has come to the market.
Nestled in the breathtaking Assynt landscape near Lochinver, 1 Inverkirkaig is a highly efficient timber-framed bungalow offering an unparalleled opportunity to embrace a greener way of living without compromising on comfort or style.
Built with sustainability at its core, this home is meticulously designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising energy efficiency. A standout feature is the 12-inch insulated layer enveloping the floors, walls, and ceilings, ensuring outstanding heat retention throughout the year.
Heating and hot water are provided by a state-of-the-art air source heat pump system, delivering cost-effective and whisper-quiet operation. Solar panels on the garage roof further enhance the home’s energy efficiency by harnessing renewable power on sunny days. For added warmth and ambiance, a centrally located wood-burning stove in the living area provides an inviting focal point during the cooler months.
Designed to accommodate both family living and guests, the property features four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a luxurious master en suite, and two spacious public rooms. A self-contained annexe offers additional flexibility, comprising a lounge, kitchen, dining area, en suite double bedroom, and a shower room – ideal for multi-generational living or visiting friends and family. If desired, the annexe can be seamlessly integrated into the main house.
The grounds, extending to approximately 0.7 acres, are thoughtfully enclosed with stock-proof fencing and landscaped with lawns and ornamental shrubs, creating a serene outdoor environment. A generous parking area leads to the garage, which not only includes a WC, shower room, and separate office space but also presents potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to necessary consents.
Estate Agent Joanne Stennett comments: “1 Inverkirkaig is a rare gem. A home that seamlessly combines cutting-edge eco-technology with the tranquility of Scotland’s rugged west coast. Offering breathtaking sea views and easy access to outdoor pursuits, it presents an unrivalled opportunity for those seeking a sustainable rural retreat.”
