Anyone in the market for a home with views of the North Atlantic, a little bit of solitude or even a good view of space launches may find their dream home as Strathy Point Lighthouse is up for sale.

Strathy Point is one of the most photographed beauty spots in the Highlands and it is now on the market as three separate properties out of the six on the site which sits right on the beautiful far north coast.

So how much will what is probably the most northerly mainland home in Britain currently on the real estate market cost set you back?

The three bedroom and two bathroom South Keeper's Cottage would set you back £160,000, the Principal Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage with four bedrooms £150,000 and the one bedroom Engine Room is £90,000.

Altogether there are six properties within the Lighthouse, which was decommissioned in 2012, and the realtors suggest that with the proximity to the NC500 then it could make a good investment for someone.

For those wanting to live there however the village of Strathy is approximately two miles away and it has a pub, cafe and its award winning beach while more facilities can be found at Melvich or Thurso.

Harper Macleod LLP who brought the “unique” properties to the market stated: “This is the perfect location to enjoy peace, relaxation and nature. It is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and a great place for bird watching and whale, dolphin and seal spotting.

“There are fabulous scenic walks and a beautiful award winning beach nearby. The dramatic cliffs with a natural arch are spectacular.

“The famous NC500 route on the A836 passes the road leading up to the Lighthouse which makes it a great stop off for tourists and is therefore a fantastic location for a holiday home. The property has been run as a successful holiday home in the past.”
