Doune Bay Lodge is accessed by its current owners using their own boat.

A Highland lodge with a private beach and spectacular views over the rugged west coast could be yours for £395,000.

Doune Bay Lodge is located on the remote Knoydart peninsula in the Highlands, offering peace and tranquillity.

Named after the sheltered bay it sits in, the lodge is currently operating as a holiday let.

However, it could be the ideal home for those who love the outdoors.

The lodge is completely off-grid, with power supplied from a solar PV and micro-hydro system.

The current owners travel to the remote site via their own boat – otherwise, the journey would include the ferry from Mallaig followed by a five-mile drive.

The lodge consists of a large open-plan living space, which makes the most of the views over the Sound of Sleat to the Isle of Skye and the Cuillin mountain range.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a range cooker, mounted cabinets and access through the full-height patio doors onto the elevated deck.

This area would make a great entertaining space for guests on a summer evening.

Due to its current use as a holiday let, there are five generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms over two levels.

The main bedroom enjoys spectacular views from the full-height patio doors leading to the outside deck.

In addition to the main lodge, there is a store/workshop with separate access and its own shower room.

There is also a boathouse.

However, the highlight of the property is the private beach.

The small community of Doune goes back 4,000 years and has only ever had a maximum population of 130 people.

The Knoydart peninsula is also home to the Old Forge, the most remote pub in mainland Britain.

It is just a 20-minute drive away from Doune Bay Lodge.

Also up for sale is the neighbouring property, Dun Ban.

Doune Bay Lodge is listed with Savills for £395,000.
