It added that a 15kw wind turbine, located just to the south-west of the property, and 5kw of solar panels provide energy to the house.

Strutt & Parker said: "The property itself has been beautifully extended by the current owners from the original cottage to provide the current accommodation.

"It is surrounded by superb and generous gardens – expertly created by the current owners who have a passion for the natural environment – with mature trees, manicured lawns and an attractive stream. To the east of the house is some native woodland, which provides a good habitat for migratory woodcock."

The majority of the estate is subject to crofting common grazing rights, with Strutt & Parker noting this means there are various parties who have third-party grazing rights over the land.

Euan MacCrimmon, senior associate director at Strutt & Parker, said: “Located in one of the most alluring spots on the North West coast, Morefield Estate offers a truly rare opportunity to purchase a piece of tranquillity in the Scottish Highlands.

"Previously, demand for Scottish estates has been underpinned by those who are interested in the sporting aspects, of which Morefield Estate has plenty, but with its added environmental potential, we expect to see a larger range of buyers come forward, alongside those who are interested in the more traditional pursuits.”
