Detached house for sale

The picturesque purpose-built coastal village of Craobh Haven was created around the marina in the 1980’s and is renowned as a particularly well serviced haven for yachting enthusiasts ().  In addition to the marina there are riding stables and an excellent ‘pop up’ restaurant, a branch of  Lucy’s Cafe, which can be found in the nearby village of Ardfern, (designated one of the UK’s 7 Quirkiest Seaside Villages in a Times Article) together with  an extremely well stocked general store with post office, hotel with restaurant, further yachting marina, primary school and a thriving community hall which is the focal point for various activities and groups with many artists and creative residents in the area helping towards its success. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the principal Argyll towns of Oban to the north and Lochgilphead to the south.


Lunga Mill is situated in an extremely sought-after and idyllic location on the fringe of the village of Craobh Haven, enjoying easy access to the shore and is within walking distance, along a track leading through the countryside, to the village of Ardfern.  The former mill, was built around 1700 as the grain and sawmill serving Lunga Estate and now presents as a unique and existing restoration project to develop the property, which has planning permission for an extension, into a fabulous home, which has been designed to  blend together the original features with modern day living perfectly.  Works have  already been  started (planning permission reference number 22/01102/PP Argyll & Bute Council) and have all been sympathetically carried out,  taking care not to in any way detract from the historic nature of the building and from the overall character and charm. At the heart of the building and of particular note, is a most impressive and large reception room with exposed stone walls and oak beams and with an oak staircase leading to the upper floor galleried landing with floor to ceiling glazing filling the rooms with natural light and leading on to a balcony where the views can be enjoyed over the countryside to the seascape beyond. The surrounding grounds are truly magical  and enchanting with the original wheel being a prominent feature, which all adds in abundance to the appeal of  this magnificent project.
