Set above tranquil waters on approximately three quarters of an acre, this traditional early-1900s home blends historic character with usable modern fittings. The elevated position frames uninterrupted views over Loch Achray; mature gardens, woodland and a burn create privacy and multiple outdoor seating areas. A detached timber garage/workshop and private driveway provide convenient off-street parking for several vehicles.
Internally the house is arranged over two floors with flexible accommodation: ground-floor living room, dining kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; two upstairs double bedrooms, one with dressing area and ensuite. Recent improvements include a Howdens kitchen (installed c.2022) and a 2021 oil central heating system with Hive controls and hot-water-on-demand. A woodburning stove in the lounge adds character and efficient zonal heating.
This property will suit buyers seeking a spacious rural family home or a lifestyle retreat in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Broadband speeds are reported fast, supporting remote work, though mobile signal is average. The house has been modernised in key areas but, as with many period stone cottages, ongoing maintenance should be expected for roof, stonework and grounds given the age and woodland setting.
Practical considerations: council tax is described as expensive, heating runs from oil (tank maintenance and fuel costs apply), and the location is remote — about seven miles west of Callander via the Dukes Pass — so daily commuting and services should be considered. Flood risk is low, and the very large plot offers scope for garden projects or modest outbuilding expansion subject to permissions.
