Summary - KILMICHAEL INVERLUSSA, LOCHGILPHEAD, ACHNAMARA PA31 8PX
1 bed 1 bath Detached
Large plot with planning potential for a carbon-neutral home and barn conversion.
Stone-built detached cottage with adjacent barn and large plot (0.216 acres)
Kilmichael Inverlussa is a one-bedroom detached former crofter’s cottage set on a large 0.216-acre plot with extensive countryside and loch views. The stone-built cottage and adjacent barn sit in a peaceful, loch-side location near Achnamara, about 15 minutes from Lochgilphead, and present clear development potential either through careful restoration or by progressing the submitted planning application for demolition and a carbon-neutral replacement (Planning ref: 24/01319/PP).
The property requires full renovation and is currently in poor repair: EPC rating G, partly double glazed, heated by open fires, served by a shared private water supply and communal septic tank. There is no mobile signal, broadband is slow, and services have not been independently checked. These constraints make the site best suited to a buyer prepared for rural refurbishment or development rather than someone seeking a ready-made home.
For an investor or developer the plot offers tangible upside: permission may be progressed to replace the cottage with a modern, carbon-neutral home and convert the barn for extra accommodation. The site’s large grounds, potential for a mooring application to local authorities, and location within a scenic Marine Protection Area add lifestyle and leisure value that will appeal to niche purchasers seeking a secluded loch-side project.
Buyers should budget for comprehensive repair or demolition costs, upgrades to insulation, services and wastewater, and factor in limited communications and slow broadband. Council tax band B and the generous plot size are positive practical details, but the property’s remoteness, deprivation index, and amount of work required are material considerations for any purchase decision.
