Lagganbuie is a spacious six-bedroom detached house set on 0.66 acres overlooking Loch Feochan, five miles south of Oban. The house combines period origins (built 1937) with a sympathetic 2017 refurbishment that included rewiring, a new boiler and a new kitchen, so it is ready to occupy while retaining scope for further upgrading. The elevated position, two-tiered lawns, pond and patio deliver strong waterside character and excellent outdoor space for family life or holiday use.
The accommodation is flexible: three ground-floor double bedroom suites and two reception rooms make single-level living straightforward, while an upstairs lounge captures the loch views and provides separate living space. The property has been run successfully as a holiday let, so it suits buyers seeking an income stream or a large family home with guest accommodation. Off-street parking is provided via a private gated driveway accessed from the A816.
Notable positives include the sizeable plot with garden terraces, specimen planting, and a lawn fed by a small burn, plus fast broadband and average mobile signal for a rural location. Practicalities to note: heating is oil-fired, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the area records high deprivation — factors that affect running costs and resale dynamics locally. The setting is remote and primarily suited to those who value loch-side privacy and outdoor life over urban convenience.
There is also potential for further development on the grounds: previously identified space could accommodate an additional dwelling and separate driveway, subject to planning. For buyers wanting a peaceful West Coast base with strong scenery, flexible living and an established holiday-let track record, Lagganbuie is a rare opportunity; for those prioritising close town access or low council costs, the remote location and tax level are important considerations.
