exceptional, imposing detached loch-side property with breath-taking views
Boasting incredible, panoramic views across the majestic Falls of Lora on Loch Etive, the sale of Cnocaruan & Cnocaruan Sea View offers a superb and extremely rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional loch-side home.
Dating from 1894, the property has been fully restored and extended, offering beautiful, original, traditional features seamlessly blended with comfortable, modern touches.
The sale would provide the successful purchaser with a very flexible property, suitable as a permanent family home or as an exciting business and lifestyle opportunity as is currently used.
Property Description
Situated on a prime, rarely available site, with stunning panoramic views over Loch Etive towards the surrounding countryside and striking Connel Bridge, Cnocaruan & Cnocaruan Sea View form an exceptional detached villa, comprising two independent properties under one roof, set in a quarter acre of grounds. Built of granite and sandstone in 1894 as a ship master's house, the property has changed family ownership only twice during this time. The current custodians fully renovated the property in 1998 and sympathetically extended to the rear of Cnocaruan in 2005, creating a superb letting cottage Cnocaruan Sea View, ideally linked to the main house by a bright, welcoming entrance hallway.
In immaculate order and beautifully presented, the properties benefit from double glazing, oil fired central heating and offer a subtle mixture of traditional features including an impressive split-level staircase, pitch pine doors, cast iron open fires and plaster cornicing whilst boasting modern elements throughout. Many of the rooms benefit from dual aspect windows, the majority of which have views to the loch and it's ever changing tidal currents, an absolute favourite of canoeists and home to an abundance of seals, the occasional otter and various bird life including herons, cormorants, eider duck and kingfisher. The large, loch facing lounge in Cnocaruan Sea View is a most impressive feature with fully glazed French doors accessing the expansive patio and decking area, ideal for entertaining. More recent additions are the two enchanting summer houses, 'The Hide Out' and 'The Lookout' set in the grounds, complete with log burners and the fishing/seating deck, affording the most incredible views.
Providing spacious and flexible accommodation as a whole, the sale offers an exciting opportunity to purchase a large family home or to continue the lucrative self-catering lifestyle business as currently run. Cnocaruan Sea View is run on commercial rates and has a guaranteed 45 week occupancy rate whilst Cnocaruan is let for 20 weeks per year on domestic rates however both have growth potential. Business accounts will be available to seriously interested purchasers following a first viewing and at the owner's discretion. The sale includes the superb website and goodwill, whilst the furniture and business items are available at separate negotiation.
Externally, the property is accessed by a gravelled driveway leading to the detached timber garage and provides ample parking. The charming garden grounds have been landscaped to compliment the property and are laid to a mixture of lawn, gravelled pathways, decked and paved patio areas, offset with mature trees, shrubs, bushes and seasonal planting.
Connel Village is situated approximately five miles east of Oban on the main A85 trunk road to Glasgow and provides a stop on the main Oban to Glasgow rail line. The village facilities include a well stocked General store with Post Office, a primary school, doctors surgery and three licensed hotels with a further range of services available in Oban itself.
