A unique holiday home designed to resemble a spaceship, complete with portholes and futuristic interiors, has gone on sale for £650,000 in Scotland. Known as AirShip 002, the aluminum-clad structure is perched on the Morvern Peninsula and has become a popular Airbnb rental.
Designed by architect Roderick James and interior designer Amanda Markham, the AirShip 002 features a gleaming silver exterior, distinctive portholes, and large windows overlooking the Sound of Mull. The interior includes a double bed, kitchenette, living area, shower room, and a wood-burning stove. The property is raised above the ground on metal legs, and its entrance is accessed via steps, enhancing the boarding a spaceship experience. It currently holds an average rating of 4.94 out of five from over 500 Airbnb reviews.
The AirShip 002 is being sold as part of the Druim Na Cracaig portfolio, which also includes two other distinctive holiday lets: The PilotHouse and The Captain's Cabin. A two-bedroom owner's or housekeeper's home, The Old Chapel, is also part of the sale. All properties are situated on more than four acres of land with views towards Tobermory, the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, and surrounding mountains.
The PilotHouse is an elliptical, two-story building with a living room elevated to maximize sea views, while its lower level contains a bedroom, study, and shower room. The Captain's Cabin, inspired by maritime life, offers a saloon, galley kitchen, double bedroom, and a private rooftop deck, featuring modern amenities like underfloor heating and triple glazing.
The Old Chapel provides a more traditional accommodation with two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and conservatory. The sale also includes parking, workshops, storage buildings, and the established holiday-letting business. The asking price was reduced by £100,000 from an initial listing of over £750,000. The business has reportedly maintained an annual turnover of approximately £100,000 over the past four years. The properties have been featured on television programs such as "Scotland's Greatest Escape" and "Alan Cumming's Paradise Homes."
