living room with grey sofa with panoramic views

If your dream is to live in a gorgeous and remote contemporary home by the sea, then you'll love the story of how this owner designed and built this property – and the personal journey that led her here.

The three-bedroom barn-style house is in Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular of the Scottish Highlands – the most westerly village in mainland Britain with a population of around 150. The owner is the village school cook and built her house in June 2019. At the same time, she also built a one-bed, self-catering cabin on her property, called Naust, which she lets through Airbnb.
