Lighthouse Keepers’ Houses
For Sale – Tarbat Ness Lighthouse Keepers’ Cottages (c) 2013 Tain Cottage
Specifically for our readers, we can share an exclusive from the Lighthouses For Sale website. A wonderful couple emailed us with an absolute treasure. They have owned the two lighthouse keepers’ cottages at Tarbat Ness for 24 years and now reluctantly decided to sell. They asked whether we would be interested in putting these idyllic houses onto our website. You bet.
For the avoidance of doubt, the actual lighthouse tower is NOT for sale and is still fully functional – being operated by the Northern Lighthouse Board. However, the two former lighthouse keepers’ cottages and a splendid sea view are for sale sold.

This wonderful property is located in a spectacularly beautiful and peaceful situation at the tip of Tarbat Ness peninsula.
The owner has arranged for an excellent video walk-through of the property which gives a very helpful insight …

The two semi-detached former lighthouse keepers’ cottages enjoy magnificent unobstructed views – eastwards, over low cliffs, across the Moray Firth to the Cairngorms, and westward, over pasture, to the Dornoch Firth and mountains of Sutherland.
Seals, dolphins and whales can often be seen just off the rocky shore – about a hundred yards from the cottages. Portmahomack village, three miles away, has a village shop, restaurants, and golf course. The Tarbat Discovery Centre, and a sheltered gently-shelving sandy beach are close too.
The north cottage is the primary residence which the current owner utilises. It has been extensively refurbished, with central LPG heating and beautiful fittings and furnishings throughout, including granite counter-tops and an indoor Jacuzzi spa. It is protected by an intruder alarm, and has two sitting rooms, and one bedroom.
The south cottage is the guest and rental cottage. It has a large sitting-dining room and three bedrooms – one double, one with twin-beds, and one with bunk beds.
With regret, due to becoming octogenarians, the owners can no longer comfortably make the long-haul flight journey each year from California to Tarbat Ness – as they have done for the past 24 years. Therefore, for the first time in almost a quarter of a century, the two former lighthouse keepers’ cottages at this splendid lighthouse station are for sale.
