An exciting opportunity to embrace an island lifestyle with this 32 acre smallholding, located midway between Bowmore and Port Ellen on the magical Isle of Islay.
Gariehill Smallholding offers a unique and rare opportunity to purchase farmland with accompanying Planning Permission in Principle for a dwelling house, offering a full country lifestyle on the magical island of Islay. The property is a haven for wildlife, with Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles gliding overhead, and Hen Harriers and Buzzards amongst the many other species of birdlife on show. In addition, Red deer and Roe deer graze the hillside.
Gariehill lies on an enviable elevated position, with the smallholding stretching to approximately 32 acres, offering a mix of native heather and rough grazing which can easily be improved into grassland. The Smallholding of Gariehill lies midway between Port Ellen (four miles south) where you will find shops, hotels, Playing Fields offering a variety of sports, restaurants, primary school and notably the southern ferry port on Islay and Bowmore (the island's capital) lies six miles north offering a wide variety of shops, Islay High School, hotels, restaurants, hospital along with Islay's Community owned swimming pool with attached leisure facility and superb gymnasium.
Gariehill enjoys outstanding panoramic views over Glenmachrie Farm, Machrie Hotel and Golf Course, Lochindaal and Laggan Bay, stretching westwards over the Atlantic Ocean encompassing far-reaching views of the Irish coastline. Eastwards, the views stretch to Sgorr Bhogachain, a small but distinctive steep pointy hill, located halfway between Glenmachrie and Kildalton. The 'Big Strand', a seven mile stretch of sandy beach backed by dunes is also located close by. On Islay, the utterly fabulous sunrises/sunsets and breathtaking nights often offering Aurora Borealis displays have been well documented and remain the highlight of everyone having experienced them.
Islay Airport is just a short drive away, with flights twice a day to Glasgow and beyond. For more information on Islay from it's people, world famous distilleries, history, things to do and it's heritage go to
