Welcome to Arus, a bright and comfortable three-bedroom home in Achachork, just a short drive (or pleasant walk) from Portree, perfectly positioned to enjoy the ever-changing landscapes of the Isle of Skye.

Set in an elevated, south-facing position, the house enjoys panoramic views from every window, stretching from the Red Cuillin to the MacLeod’s Tables, with the dramatic Black Cuillin range forming a stunning centrepiece.

Two en-suite bedrooms: one with a king-size bed, one with twin beds

Third twin bedroom adjacent to a family bathroom with an over-bath shower

Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor

Upper-level sitting area with a large picture window — ideal for reading or watching the light change over the Cuillins

A patio door leads from the dining area onto a decked outdoor space, overlooking a south-facing garden that borders natural croft land — peaceful, private, and perfect for enjoying long Skye evenings.

Additional features include:

Electric central heating and double glazing throughout

Fibre broadband (up to 52Mb download) — ideal for remote work

Garage with washing and drying facilities

Off-road parking

Portree’s picturesque harbour, shops, cafés, and restaurants are close by, while walkers, climbers, cyclists, and wildlife enthusiasts will find endless opportunities across the island — from coastal paths to mountain trails and boat trips.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Burr

Host profile image
I was born and brought up on the Isle of Skye. Our family have spent many holidays on Skye and now as adults still love to visit.

Why they chose this property

Achachork has always been a favourite part of Skye for us with its panoramic views and being within walking distance of Portree, the main village on Skye. When this site came up we decided to go ahead and build a house taking into account the wonderful views across Portree to the Cuillin Hills beyond. We are very lucky to have a lovely house built to our own specification with everything we need in a holiday home and wonderful views to enjoy from every window.

What makes this property unique

The views from the house towards the Cuillin Hills are spectacular and the house is warm, comfortable and has all the mod cons required for a relaxing stay. As a base the location is perfect for day trips throughout the island being so near Portree. There is nothing better than to sit on an evening with 'refreshments' and watch the setting sun turn it's magic on the landscape, no matter which season there is always something different to view.
