4 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious period house with almost nine acres and superb Loch Linnhe views.
4 double bedrooms each with en suite bathroom
Druimneil House is a rare Victorian country estate occupying almost nine acres of formal gardens, woodland and meadow on the shores of Loch Linnhe. The principal house, built c.1860, retains many original period features — high ceilings, ornate joinery, open fireplaces and generous reception rooms — and enjoys sweeping double-aspect sea views across to Morvern and Lismore. Substantial outbuildings include a converted Coach House and a single-storey Dorran cottage, providing immediate ancillary accommodation or rental potential.
The formal gardens were professionally tended for decades and include a walled kitchen garden, greenhouse, polytunnels, spring-fed ponds and elevated woodland walks. The sheltered south-facing patio and balcony make the most of the coastal microclimate and al fresco dining. Vehicular access is by private tarmac drive to gravel parking; some waterfront land remains where a boathouse previously stood (replacement structure subject to consent and no formal neighbouring access rights).
The house is extremely large and versatile but will require renovation and updating throughout; the current condition offers a strong basis for a sensitive restoration while also opening scope for reconfiguration or enhancement. Practical constraints include slow broadband speeds and a relatively high council tax banding. The location is remote: the nearby village of Port Appin provides basic services, while Oban (c.20 miles) supplies wider amenities and ferry connections.
For buyers seeking a characterful coastal estate — a family home with space for guests, staff or holiday rentals, or an investor prepared to refurbish — Druimneil offers distinctive scale, privacy and spectacular west-coast scenery. All major features are described in the accompanying floorplan and further inspection will clarify the extent of works required.
