Croft, 73 Coldbackie, Tongue, Highland. IV27

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this tenanted croft which extends to 8.37 acres and is located directly on the coastline of the NC500. This splendid site offers spectacular views towards Rabbit Island, Ben Hutig, the distant Orkney Islands and Tongue Bay, which has a white sandy beach with turquoise waters that are reminiscent of the Caribbean.

It is rare to find such a gem of a site which apportions to 2.64 acres of good arable land and 5.73 acres of rough grazing. Electric and water are on site, with the croft being accessed through a gated entrance just off the main A836 to Tongue and the apportionment being accessed to the rear of the de-crofted house.
