AN “extremely rare opportunity” to purchase an extensive tenanted croft with a boathouse close to the Knoydart Peninsula has been brought to market.
Agents Strutt and Parker noted that the croft is located in a beautiful setting to the east of Mallaig and that it lies to the entrance to Loch Nevis.
“The hill land is steep in places but provides interesting habitat and topography and offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to explore environmental and woodland schemes and to enjoy the natural capital of the land and surroundings,” the agent said.

Mallaig Mhor also includes a traditional stone and slate boathouse located on the north-eastern shoreline.
The building is currently used for storage purposes although could potentially be redeveloped into a residential property.
The agent added “it has been used in the past but is currently not suitable for that purpose”.
Mallaig Mhor Bay is located at the north-eastern corner of the property and is a sheltered bay with a small, sandy beach and slipway with good access to the sea.
Strutt and Parker added: “Mallaig Mhor comprises an exceptional and extensive coastal property located at the entrance to Loch Nevis and the Knoydart Peninsula just to the east of the fishing port of Mallaig.
“The property, which is all tenanted croft, lies between a height of sea level and approximately 500m (1600ft) close to the summit of Carn a Ghobair, the summit of which is not on the property.”
The northern boundary of the 847.1-acre property comprises coastline and extends approximately 1.4 miles with attractive coastal native woodland areas and private bays.
The agent continued: “It should be noted that there is a house (the white house) located to south of the boathouse which is not included in the sale and is under separate ownership.”
The property is held as a croft tenancy and is offered for sale by way of an assignation with any sale conditional on approval by the crofting commission.
The current rent is around £100 per year which is payable to Nevis Estates.
Strutt and Parker said the croft is available at offers over £450,000.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
