Skye Fuels Ltd

Skye Fuels is a long-established and profitable business which has been brought to the market due to the owner’s forthcoming retirement. The business buys in logs and specialises in the supply and processing of timber, operating from a well-equipped site that has been purpose-built to support efficient production and distribution. At the heart of the operation is a recently constructed agricultural building, designed specifically for wood processing. Incoming timber is received and stored in the designated yard area before being transferred to the processing shed, where it undergoes preparation using bespoke machinery, including hoppers, conveyors, and belt systems. The finished product is then bagged and made ready for distribution to customers. The agricultural building is of robust modern construction, featuring low-level concrete liners, a steel frame, plastisol corrugated cladding, and a high double sliding door to facilitate easy access. Ancillary units and shipping containers are positioned on-site to provide drying facilities for timber, ensuring consistent quality of output. In addition, a site cabin offers welfare amenities and toilet facilities for staff. The site is supported by practical infrastructure, including a tanked water supply and an independent generator system which currently powers the business. A solar panel has been installed to power the security camera. The sale includes the plant and machinery required to handle and process wood. A full inventory will be prepared for interested parties. LAND The business croft land extends to approximately 71.5 acres of land, part of which has been decrofted, offering substantial scope for future development. In addition to the main processing facilities, the property includes a silage field and a further agricultural shed, with the entire site securely fenced and clearly defined by established boundaries. There is significant potential to expand the current processing operation to a larger scale or to explore alternative uses such as an industrial park or similar commercial venture, subject to the necessary consents. Conveniently located just six minutes north of Portree, the site is exceptionally well placed to serve both local and wider markets. There is a small parcel of total croft land, around 1.4 acres of improved grassland, which is not included with the sale. Within Area 7, two landlocked parcels are accessed by mutual agreement. These are under separate ownership and excluded from the sale.

Skye Fuels operates from a strategic location just a short distance north of Portree, the capital and main service centre of the Isle of Skye. Portree is the commercial and administrative hub of the island, offering a full range of services and acting as the focal point for trade across Skye. From this position, the business benefits from excellent road connections via the A87, linking Portree southwards to the Skye Bridge and onwards to the mainland road network, enabling efficient distribution across the Highlands. The site is well placed for both local and regional trade, providing convenient access for collections and deliveries while maintaining a rural setting suitable for large-scale storage and processing. The location allows Skye Fuels to serve its established customer base across the island and mainland, with scope for further expansion into wider markets.
