Your Own Island Home – A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Scotland

Imagine waking each morning to sweeping coastal views, fresh sea air and the tranquillity of island life in Orkney.

This charming traditional home is offered together with approximately seven acres of adjoining croft land, presenting a rare opportunity to embrace an authentic Scottish island lifestyle.

Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful family home, a self-sufficient smallholding, or the ultimate island retreat, this unique property provides the perfect canvas.

The adjoining croft land (7 acres approx) offers endless possibilities-from hobby farming and keeping livestock to growing your own produce or simply enjoying the space and freedom that only island living can provide (subject to crofting legislation where applicable).

Surrounded by spectacular coastline, dramatic landscapes and abundant wildlife, you’ll enjoy a slower pace of life without compromising on the sense of adventure that Scotland’s islands are renowned for. Spend your days exploring pristine beaches, coastal walks and rugged scenery, all just moments from your doorstep.

Properties of this nature rarely become available. Combining a characterful island home with generous acreage, this is an opportunity to create the lifestyle you’ve always imagined-a place to reconnect with nature, embrace self-sufficiency and enjoy the timeless beauty of Scotland’s islands.

Your island escape awaits.

Eday is one of Orkney’s hidden gems-a peaceful island where life moves at a gentler pace. Home to a welcoming community of around 130 residents, the island offers a unique blend of tranquillity, stunning natural beauty and rich history.

Surrounded by dramatic coastline, unspoilt beaches and abundant wildlife, Eday is a paradise for walkers, birdwatchers, anglers and anyone looking to reconnect with nature. The island is renowned for its archaeological heritage, spectacular sea views and dark skies, making it an exceptional place to live or escape to.

Despite its peaceful setting, Eday is well connected, with regular ferry services linking the island to Mainland Orkney and Kirkwall, where you’ll find a full range of shops, supermarkets, healthcare facilities and transport connections.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent move, a holiday retreat or simply a place to slow down and enjoy a different way of life, Eday offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly rare.

The dwellinghouse has been de-crofted, allowing private residential ownership, whilst the adjoining land remains croft land, preserving its connection to Scotland’s rich crofting heritage. The croft provides exciting opportunities for those wishing to enjoy a smallholding lifestyle, keep livestock, grow produce or simply enjoy additional outdoor space, subject to the relevant crofting legislation.
