Each of the properties are located approximately five miles from the island's village of Arinagour, which has village stores, a medical centre, café, parish church, fire station, a UHI college campus, fuel station, community centre, and hotel.
Angus Kelly, partner at estate agents Bidwells, said: "The estate has fantastic appeal as both a lifestyle and sustainable investment proposition, with its expansive, historically rich island setting representing one of the most breathtaking locations in the Inner Hebrides.
"This is a truly unique instruction, and a special one for me personally. Having participated in a gap year with the seller Project Trust when I was younger, I have first-hand experience of the great work the charity has done in Coll and while it is sad that it is moving on, the sale represents an opportunity to put its property and landed assets to new use."
Ballyhaugh, also known as the Hebridean Centre, represents a historic building with capacity to accommodate up to 46 people. Individually, this is on the market for offers over £755,000.
