An ‘off-grid’ cottage tucked away in the Highlands has gone on the market for £130,000 – and someone looking for a place to wait out the Zombie apocalypse.
With no neighbours as far as the eye can see, the home is the perfect pad for secluded living.
The traditional stone built property boasts two acres and enjoys stunning views of the rolling countryside surrounding Brae Cottage in Dornoch, Sutherland.
Situated in a scenic location, beside the stream known as Abhainn an r-Stratha Charnaig, running from Loch Buidhe, through Torboll Falls and Torboll salmon ladder to the coastal waters of Loch Fleet.
The home is surrounded with views of the Creag Dail na Meine & Beinn Domhnaill hills, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting.
The cottage, which is on sale for £130,000, sits on two acres of land and has no visible neighbours for someone who wants privacy
This remote hideaway in the Scottish highlands will require complete refurbishment

Upstairs, accessed via the kitchen, narrow stairs lead up to a skylight and access to two bedrooms.
There are two outbuildings attached to the rear of the property – one used as a log store and coal bunker, and the other stone built and used for storage.
The listing reads: ‘The cottage has the potential to offer its new owners a unique off-grid living experience in a picturesque location.
