Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and equestrian lovers alike, with its own generous paddock, high quality stables with three loose boxes, hay store and tack room, the cottages are located close to Crianlarich, Oban and Glencoe in the village of Dalmally.

Dalmally is in the county of Argyll and Bute, a pretty village near Kilchurn Castle on the A85, the main route to Oban and the West Coast.

The sale comprises two beautiful modular homes, Achnacoin Cottage and Fortingall Cottage, that both provide cosy, stylish accommodation with the opportunity to create a wonderful lifestyle with ample flexibility.

Designed by The Wee House Company, the two-bedroom houses are efficient and easy to maintain with a timber finish and provide well-proportioned reception spaces, both with French doors to their own private deck where the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and glens can be enjoyed.

Iain Paterson, handling the sale for Galbraith, said: “The sale of Achnacoin Cottages presents a very exciting opportunity for interested parties seeking their ultimate lifestyle move. The two properties offer flexibility with the potential for a multitude of different uses, from continuing as a holiday let, to providing a superb full-time home with the opportunity for multigenerational living.

“Location wise, it doesn’t get much better than this for outdoor enthusiasts, be it visitors to the area or local residents alike. For hikers there is a superb network of local paths, the West Highland Way nearby and no less than nine Munros within 10 miles of the property. There is also a good network of cycle tracks and paths for mountain bikers. Water sports can also be enjoyed locally in Oban and skiing is available at the well-regarded Glencoe Mountain Resort.

“Given the equestrian set up at Achnacoin Cottages, the sale should also attract interest from equestrian lovers or potential buyers keen on setting up their own livery business perhaps.”

The grounds extend to some 5.60 acres (2.27 hectares) in total. Each property boasts its own private decking and front garden, and there’s a communal garden area to the rear.

The generous paddock runs right down to the River Orchy. This was previously used as a smallholding but in recent years has been allowed to return more to nature providing habitat for a wide variety of plants, insects, animals and birds.

The paddock is surrounded by beautiful native trees and also has a pretty burn running up the wester edge. Enclosed by fencing, the paddock could easily be used again for smallholding purposes or for keeping horses. The paddock has its own access from the public road with well maintained track that leads down to the stables. The stables are sturdy and well maintained with three loose boxes and a hay store/ tack room.
