Galbraith is handling the sale of Stoer Hostel, a newly converted hostel offering accommodation for up to 22 guests in Sutherland, on the route of the North Coast 500. The sale offers an exciting opportunity to live and work in one of the last great wildernesses of Europe.

Stoer Hostel is located in the scattered hamlet of Stoer near Lochinver. The hostel is in a stunning setting with wonderful views over an unspoilt landscape and towards Loch Neill Bhain.

A former Free Presbyterian Church which dates from 1899, the property has been recently converted to create a comfortable hostel. The modern, energy-efficient accommodation can accommodate up to 22 guests in total,  including a self-contained studio flat which alternatively is perfectly suited for use as a manager's accommodation if required.

Phiddy Robertson of Galbraith, who is handling the sale said: “This is a rare opportunity to live the dream lifestyle, in one of Scotland's most stunning rural areas. The surrounding area is renowned for its spectacular mountains, coastline and sea lochs and the creation of the North Coast 500 route has significantly boosted tourism to the area.

“The hostel is being sold fully equipped and thus the purchasers will be able to start welcoming guests soon after purchase. Anyone who has toyed with the idea of creating a tourism business in Scotland would be well advised to view the property and its extraordinary setting.”

The hostel's accommodation is spread over two floors and includes a spacious open-plan kitchen/ living area with a good range of fitted units and trestle tables, six bunkrooms, a boot room, utility room, drying room, office, three shower rooms, three WC's and a further accessible shower room. The self-contained studio flat/warden's quarters comprises kitchenette, bedroom and shower room. Outside there is a Plant Shed containing a hot water tank and an air source heat pump.

The North Coast 500 is a popular tourist route and voted one of the world's most beautiful road trips.

The surrounding area is one of the last great wildernesses in Europe where the dramatic outlines of Suilven, Canisp and Quinag provide a backdrop for a beautiful landscape of moorland and coastline.

The village of Lochinver (8 miles) is a thriving port with fishing vessels from many parts of the world landing their catches at the fish market. The village has two small supermarkets, a general store, petrol station, Health Centre, Community/Leisure Centre and a primary school as well as a number of other shops, cafés and restaurants. Ullapool, about a 50 minute drive away, has a wider range of amenities including a secondary school.
