Sporting property - for sale - United Kingdom

On Scotland’s west coast, between Oban and Lochgilphead, this 220-acre (89-hectare) sporting estate brings together a fully renovated stone farmhouse, rolling pasture, native woodland and a private freshwater loch. The house looks out over the estate, and a gravel track leads directly from the courtyard to the loch. You can head out at first light to stalk deer and spend the evening fishing for wild trout, all within a few minutes of home.

A traditional Scottish farmhouse with room for guests

The original stone farmhouse has been fully renovated and sympathetically extended on both sides. Two adjoining sitting rooms offer distinct spaces, one overlooking the pastures and the other filled with natural light. With its Lacanche range cooker and granite worktops, the kitchen and dining room is a welcoming place to gather after a day outdoors. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite shower room. A guest studio with its own shower room is reached by a separate staircase. Another wing houses a gym that could also serve as a home office.

Deer stalking and wild trout fishing

The mix of woodland edges, open pasture and native woods offers varied ground for red and roe deer stalking, with further opportunities for woodcock shooting. The estate has a secure gun room and heated kennels housed in a converted stone outbuilding. Set away from the house, the private freshwater loch extends over several acres and offers a secluded spot for wild trout fishing or taking out a rowing boat.

Traditional stone outbuildings and historic features

The original farm buildings sit around a sheltered courtyard and offer scope for conversion into holiday cottages or guest accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. Close to the main house, a former stone farmhouse believed to date from the early 18th century offers a further opportunity for restoration. Higher up in the woods stand the remains of a 13th-century chapel, a reminder of the estate’s long history.

With its renovated farmhouse, private loch and 220 acres of varied ground, this Argyll estate offers the pleasures of owning a Scottish sporting property on a manageable scale, with room to stalk, fish and welcome guests throughout the seasons.
