Earth House, Laide

 

Earth House is an amazing property situated just a short distance from the small village of Laide.  This single-story house is certainly unusual and quite hard to spot, with a turfed roof that blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape. The location offers picturesque views over Gruinard Bay and towards the mountains of Assynt in the north.

Designed and built by the owner over a long period, Earth House offers different from the usual types of properties that are available. The main living area with its sofas and dining area has floor to ceiling windows and offers direct access to the outside patio. Off this area, a well-equipped kitchen and study area can be found. The property has two en-suite bedrooms, one being a king and the other a twin. A utility area and a cloakroom complete the facilities.

Although being underground the property is warm and welcoming with electric heating throughout. Outside the secluded garden with its shoreline location is an ideal place to sit and relax after a day of exploring. Situated close to the North Coast 500 route, the area also offers a broad range of places to visit including Inverewe Gardens and Gairloch.
