Off-grid home for sale in Knoydart, Scotland

An off-grid home with beautiful sea views is for sale in the Scottish Highlands for £395,000. The property, called Doune Bay Lodge, has five bedrooms and is located on the Knoydart peninsula. It features stunning views over the Sound of Sleat towards the Isle of Skye and includes two acres of its own land. Inside, the lodge has large floor-to-ceiling windows, a modern kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, and five en-suite bedrooms. It also has a deck outside and its own boathouse. However, the home is only accessible by ferry, followed by a 5.5-mile drive and a half-mile walk. Those interested in easier access might consider buying a boat. The current owner has a 10-meter charter boat and other vehicles available for sale. The home is equipped with solar panels and a micro hydro system to generate renewable energy. The property recently attracted attention online, with some Reddit users calling it their "dream home." However, many expressed concerns about midges, small biting insects that thrive in the area. Some noted their negative experiences with them during the summer months. In other news, a quirky bungalow in Barnsley is also up for sale for £400,000.
