The Details
This marvellous home sits in a Scottish Highland wood overlooking the scenic shores of Loch Shieldaig. Ideal for a couple’s romantic retreat or a family break with one child, Rhuroin offers a lovely combination of calming wooden tones and simple minimalist design.
When you arrive, this striking home sits amidst mature Scots pine, rowan and birch trees overlooking a sheltered bay. This beautiful setting encourages you to calm down and unwind whilst taking in your surroundings in peace.
Stepping inside, the home has a lovely open plan ground floor, where the kitchen, dining area and lounge are all connected. The wood-burning fireplace sits in a striking stone wall and ensures you stay toasty and warm whatever the weather. Put your feet up and warm your toes as you enjoy a glass of wine with your loved one or tuck into a good book. The sitting room can be closed off from the rest of this space by bifolding doors.
The kitchen is nicely equipped with modern appliances and there’s a round dining table that sets the scene for family dinners and romantic suppers. There’s also an outdoor dining table where you can enjoy an alfresco lunch in the summer sunshine whilst gazing out at the incredible views.
When night falls, the double bedroom is located on the first floor, offering stunning views to the northwest and east. This level also includes a second bedroom with two children's beds, a bathroom and a landing featuring a floor-to-ceiling window with breathtaking views.
Tucked away on the wild Applecross Peninsula, just 2.5 miles from Shieldaig, Rhuroin offers off-grid luxury with front-row seats to nature. Watch sea eagles soar overhead, otters and seals play in the loch and dolphins feed in the bay - binoculars provided.
With direct water access for wild swimming and kayaking, plus epic hill and coastal walks nearby, it's perfect for adventurers. Explore with local guides, paddle from the Kayak Shack or fish and stalk on nearby estates. Life here is peaceful, remote and deeply connected to the rhythms of the Highlands, yet you’re only 70 miles from Inverness Airport.
