‘Incredible’ off-grid home with its own private beach on sale for £395,000

Always enjoyed your own company? Well, the off-grid property of your dreams just hit the market, and there’s not a neighbour in sight.

The five-bedroom home – known as Doune Bay Lodge – is perched on the peninsula of Knoydart in the Scottish Highlands, offering stunning views over the Sound of Sleat to the Isle of Skye.

But you don’t have to just look at the views from inside, you can get right up in them, as the property comes with its own private beach, a little cove you can have all to yourself on the Western shore of the Knoydart peninsula.

You won’t have to worry about power cuts either because this property is completely off-grid, getting its power from a solar PV and micro hydro system.

And while you might be thinking something like this would break the bank, it’s actually on the market for offers over £395,000.

The best part is, that it’s pretty much ready for a new owner to move straight into as it was recently renovated.

Set within two acres of its own land, the property is laid out over two levels, with five en-suite bedrooms, a modern kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, an elevated outside decking space and its own boathouse.

While the remote property will be a dream-come-true home to some, it prompted mixed responses from Reddit users who shared the listing.

A user known as u/Scorned-Scorpion posted a link to the Rightmove site, saying: ‘This is just incredible, your own beach!’

And u/SpaceMonkeyOnABike agreed, revealing they’d stayed in the house before, but there was one issue with it: ‘I’ve actually stayed there! Beautiful place. Midges are savage though!’

u/StripedSocksMan also warned others that living in that area would mean dealing with the midges, commenting: ‘The midges in the western highlands are no joke! We left the west coast and moved to the east coast to get away from them, my poor dogs wouldn’t even go outside in the summer.’

Others thought the property was ‘beautiful’ and ‘poetic’, while a few joked it would be the ideal place to hide in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
