About:
You might be forgiven for believing you've entered a realm of fantasy, where mist-draped mountains cast reflections in rugged seas, and vast moorlands provide a wild, untamed serenity unique to the British Isles. This is the distinctiveness of Skye, and it's the locale of our concealed gem, Aulinn.

Situated on the southeast shores of the island, with views overlooking the Kylerhea Straits and the Five Sisters of Kintail, this exquisite retreat occupies three acres of its own croft. While its exterior beautifully echoes the heritage of neighboring farmsteads, stepping inside reveals a contemporary residence that thoughtfully captures the untamed beauty outside. With chic simplicity, a soft white palette, exposed woods, and natural fabrics, Aulinn harmoniously blends modern living with the wild allure of its surroundings.

 

LIVING AND DINING 

The ground floor features an open-plan layout, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting room seamlessly share the same space, creating a wonderfully social environment.

Positioned at one end, the kitchen and dining area benefit from dual-aspect views through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, providing captivating scenery of the moorland, sea, and mountains beyond. The well-equipped kitchen includes essential amenities such as an electric hob and cooker, larder fridge with an icebox, Nespresso coffee machine, and dishwasher. A circular dining table for four takes center stage, strategically placed to maximize the enjoyment of the surrounding views. Additionally, two comfortable chairs and a coffee table near the window offer a delightful spot for leisurely breakfasts. A separate utility room houses a combination washer and dryer.

On the opposite end of the room, the sitting area boasts an inviting grey velvet sofa, positioned for optimal window gazing. The delightful wood burner, situated between the kitchen and sitting areas, provides cozy warmth during cooler months. As evening descends, entertainment options include a TV with Sky and a DVD player. For music enthusiasts, a SONOS One with Alexa awaits to play your favorite tunes. Binoculars are thoughtfully provided for observing the world outside, while a record player and board games offer a welcomed respite from technology.

 

SLEEPING QUARTERS 

Ascend the stairs, and you'll discover two captivating double bedrooms nestled within the eaves, each uniquely designed. One features a king-size bed, while the other boasts a double bed. Both bedrooms showcase dual-aspect windows, with one of each being a Velux, strategically placed to maximize the breathtaking views and ever-shifting skies. In these tranquil retreats, you can recline amidst the opulent bedding and cushions, marveling at the majestic panorama that envelops you. The only sounds to accompany you are the whispering wind and the distant shoreline – a truly sublime experience. Each bedroom is thoughtfully furnished with occasional chairs, ample hanging space, and a chest of drawers, ensuring ample storage for your comfort.

 

OUTDOOR HAVEN 

Nestled within three acres of its own croft, this remarkable residence is a true sanctuary in every sense of the term. At the forefront of Aulinn, an expansive open veranda awaits, complete with a table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for delightful alfresco dining. Just around the corner, a charming covered area beckons with a swing bench and coffee table, offering a cozy retreat for wrapping up in blankets, stargazing, and enjoying the soothing sounds of a nearby babbling stream. Adjacent to this intimate space lies the hot tub, providing a perfect vantage point for witnessing the evening descend over the distant mountains. The surrounding garden remains deliberately untamed, harmoniously blending with the natural landscape, occasionally hosting wandering sheep.

 

LOCAL AREA 

Tucked away in the far west, Skye stands out as one of Scotland's most enchanting islands, captivating artists and writers like Agatha Christie and Virginia Woolf with its untamed beauty. Aulinn, hidden amidst this wild landscape, provides a haven for nature lovers, immersing you in the spectacular surroundings with just a step outside its door. Whether you're an avid walker, a culinary enthusiast, or a wildlife aficionado (or a blend of all three!), the area offers an abundance of activities.

 

Kylerhea, Skye's primary wildlife area, hosts an RSPB-operated otter hide right next to Aulinn, providing an ideal spot for observing birds, otters, and resident sea eagles. The Skye ferry, a mere five-minute walk from Aulinn, is a unique turntable ferry, the last of its kind globally, crossing to the mainland village of Glenelg from April to October. This short journey may reward you with dolphin and seal sightings. In Glenelg village, a traditional Highland pub serves delectable food.

 

For avid hikers, the iconic Old Man of Storr and the breathtaking Quiraing, a photographer's delight, await exploration. Experienced climbers can take on the challenge of the Cullin range. Sea enthusiasts can embark on boat trips for sea eagle spotting, whale watching, or fishing, with a refreshing sea swim as a must. Skye Jeep Tours, conveniently located near Aulinn, offer fantastic island tours, revealing hidden gems. Other notable places include the Fairy Glen, the daring Fairy Pools for a refreshing dip, and the historic Dunvegan Castle.

As expected, the region boasts an array of remarkable restaurants. Whisky enthusiasts can explore three distilleries: Talisker, Torabhaig, and Raasay (a 25-minute ferry ride away). The possibilities for exploration and enjoyment on Skye are as diverse as the island's captivating landscapes.
