Tigh an Daraich occupies a stunning river side location in a very picturesque and popular area of Argyll, close to Taynuilt village.
The site comprises a unique and varied range of properties all under the same ownership, and offers a superb opportunity to acquire from a choice of traditional three bedroom family home with separate self-contained flat, three high end lodges and two building plots.
The site is also being offered as a Whole. Two of the lodges and both plots are being sold with full planning permission or, if preferred, the lodges come with the option to be developed by the current owner, each backed by an Architect’s Certificate.
The house and separate flat, located above a double garage, are situated some distance from the lodges, ensuring total privacy. The plot west of the house is accessed via a private track and is situated in a lovely, secluded area surrounded by trees.
The second plot, Salmon Leap, enjoys an enviable position nestling into the river bank. The detached lodges form part of an exclusive residential development of five created by the current owners, two of which have already been sold. All enjoy stunning panoramic views with two positioned high up on the river bank which benefits from SSSI status.
Dating from the early 1900s, Tigh an Daraich house is a delightful family home. The property has benefited from a number of improvements by the current owners including the addition of a large ground floor kitchen/dining/living area and cloakroom and has recently been repainted externally. Close to the house is a large, double garage with 1 bedroom first floor apartment accessed via its own private entrance. The apartment is suitable for holiday rentals or longer term use. Also within the grounds is a deceptively spacious summer house. The timber cabin is also ideally suited for holiday use with open plan living and sleeping area, sauna and shower room.
The three detached lodges have also benefited from recent improvements and two are being offered with planning permission to create considerably larger properties. The lodges have been designed for permanent living or long term letting by the owners and all enjoy superb views over the surrounding countryside.
The two plots offer a choice of locations within the overall site and both come with planning permission in perpetuity. Salmon Leap is designed as a state of the art three storey, eco-house with large, open plan spaces and uninterrupted views of the river. The second plot to the west of Tigh an Daraich comes with permission for an architect designed five bedroom property with integral garage. We are advised services for both plots are close by.
