4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Island of Luing is an enchanting small inshore island situated about 15 miles south of the principal west highland town of Oban with an excellent car ferry service for the short journey across from the mainland.   Local amenities on the island include a shop with post office, community halls and a visitor centre with licensed cafe and restaurant.  A more comprehensive range of services including professional and recreational facilities is to be found in Oban.  The island has changed little over the past centuries, remaining a place of great tranquility and natural beauty with an abundance of flora and fauna and stunning sea and island views.


Ard Shona is situated in an idyllic spot at Blackmill Bay, a small settlement close to the village of Toberonochy and enjoys magnificent unobstructed views from its shore side position over the Sound of Luing to the Islands of Lunga and Scarba.  This most appealing one and a half storey property has been extremely well maintained by the current owners with upgrades including replacement windows in 2022 and a replacement roof in 2014,  and offers well proportioned accommodation with a particular feature being the bright and spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living room with  multi-fuel stove and large windows designed to fully capture the breath taking views. In contrast the sitting room, also with multi-fuel stove, provides a cosy room for winter evenings.  The utility room, bathroom and one of the four bedrooms complete the ground floor accommodation, with an impressive staircase with glazed paneling leading the upper floor and the further bedrooms.  In  addition the property benefits from excellent storage and an efficient oil-fired central heating system.  The delightful established garden with paved patio and access to the shore all adds to the charm of this impressive  home.
