Dippen Lodge is a substantial, newly refurbished Georgian coastal lodge set within circa 130.93 acres on the southeastern tip of the Isle of Arran. The house combines period character—high ceilings, sash-and-case windows, wood panelling and ornate cornicing—with modern comforts including ground source underfloor heating and refurbished kitchens and bathrooms. Principal accommodation includes seven double bedrooms, five reception rooms, cinema room, study and a principal suite with dressing room and en suite. A renovated Coach House and Bothy provide self-contained annexe accommodation suitable for guests or holiday income.
The elevated, southeasterly site offers uninterrupted views across the Firth of Clyde to the Ayrshire coast, Pladda and Ailsa Craig. Formal gardens, woodland and heather-clad clifftops lead to panoramic coastal outlooks; grounds include glasshouse, potting shed, workshop, parkland, pasture, rough grazing and a lochan with a jetty. Two large 3-bay general-purpose sheds and former kennels provide useful storage. About 26 acres of formal gardens and policies sit immediately around the house; the wider holding extends north and south of the main road.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is remote with average mobile signal and very slow broadband — important for those needing fast connectivity. Council tax is described as very expensive and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect services and local economy. Two additional land blocks (97.83 acres) may be available separately for those seeking expansion or agricultural use. Overall this is a high‑character coastal estate offering both comfortable living and clear potential for rural enterprise or holiday accommodation, best suited to buyers comfortable with island life and limited connectivity.
