Traditional farmhouse enjoys views to the Hebridean Islands

Smiths Gore is pleased to announce the sale of Achanadraine, located on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in a superb rural, elevated position commanding outstanding views across to Islay, Jura and Gigha.

The property comprises a traditional stone built farmhouse used in the past as a shooting lodge, under a slate roof, a range of traditional outbuildings with conversion potential, and an area of good quality grazing land. The total area of the property for sale extends to approx 6 ½ acres

The farmhouse dating back to 1871, now in need of refurbishment to realise the former grandeur, provides spacious family accommodation, a particular feature being the high ceilings, wooden floors, decorative fireplaces and original French doors from the drawing room leading to the front garden. The adjoining steading buildings on either side of the farmhouse are in varying states of repair forming a courtyard to the rear. A detached stone agricultural shed consisting of a large garage with 2 double doors, stables and a smaller byre is found on the eastern range.

The paddock which adjoins the farmhouse and steading to the south is included in the sale of the farmhouse and extends to approximately 3 acres.

Achanadraine is located 17 miles south of the coastal picturesque fishing town of Tarbert providing very good local shops and services, also very popular with the yachting fraternity as the harbour has facilities and berths available for passing and long term stays. The Royal Burgh of Campbeltown 21 miles to the south east is the largest centre of population on the Kintyre peninsula and provides a broader range of facilities including hospital, primary and secondary schools, hotels and leisure facilities. There are a number of nearby golf courses, daily flights from the airport at Machrihanish, ferries to the Hebridean Islands and an abundance of scenic countryside to explore.

Joanna Ablett, selling agent at Smiths Gore’s Edinburgh Office says:

“The sale of Achanadraine provides the opportunity for an astute buyer to release the potential of this former shooting lodge and steading and with views across to the Hebridean Islands which are just superb this property is a must see.”

A fixed price of £375,000 has been set for the whole.
