Windywalls offers a rare opportunity to acquire a 50 acre croft with a charming extended traditional cottage, set in one of Orkney's most breathtaking locations on the Island of Graemsay. This peaceful island - home to a community of around 23 residents - provides an exceptional sense of seclusion, surrounded by spectacular scenery and rich natural heritage.
The cottage sits in an elevated position with outstanding panoramic views: to the rear, the dramatic hills of Hoy; to the front, the ever changing waters of Hoy Sound and the picturesque town of Stromness.
Accommodation on one level comprises:
•a comfortable dual aspect living room showcasing the magnificent views,
•a bright kitchen,
•two comfortable double bedrooms, and
•an accessible shower room.
Outside, several traditional stone outbuildings offer potential for workshop, storage, or restoration projects. The croft land extends around the house and reaches the shoreline on the north side, creating an attractive mix of grazing, open space, and coastal frontage.
Known as “Orkney’s Green Isle,” Graemsay is renowned for its wildlife, tranquil beaches, and two historic lighthouses, Hoy High and Hoy Low, built in 1851 by renowned engineer Alan Stevenson. Life on the island is quiet, nature focused, and deeply scenic, yet the regular ferry service ensures easy access to Stromness for shopping, services, and onward connections.
School catchment areas are Stromness Primary School and Stromness Academy.
