Set high above the other properties within the development, Gate Lodge enjoys a wonderful elevated position overlooking Loch Sunart. From the house and its outdoor spaces, the loch and surrounding landscape provide an ever-changing backdrop, with the changing light and weather giving the outlook a different character throughout the day.
The house itself has a generous feel, with three good-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en suites. The principal living space is particularly well suited to the setting, with the kitchen, dining and living areas brought together in one open space. It is easy to imagine meals around the table with the loch beyond, followed by an evening beside the wood-burning stove as the landscape outside changes with the light.
The property becomes even more interesting once outside. A separate cabin sits in the grounds and takes full advantage of the elevated position. With its own bathroom and kitchen area, it is far more than a garden room. The wrap-around composite decking and glass balcony create a wonderful place to sit outside and take in the views across Loch Sunart, whether that means morning coffee, an evening drink or simply watching the weather move across the landscape. A walk-in storage room beneath the cabin provides additional space without compromising the accommodation above.
The cabin also offers interesting potential for those looking for additional income, subject to any necessary permissions and regulations, with its own facilities and private outdoor space making it well suited to consideration as a holiday letting opportunity. Equally, it could provide a very comfortable retreat for family and friends or a separate space for those working from home.
There is also a substantial workshop, carport, ample parking, a shed and two wood stores, giving plenty of room for practical projects, outdoor equipment and the things that come with enjoying a rural setting. A ramp provides access to the front door, adding to the practicality of the house.
What makes this home particularly appealing is the combination of its setting and its flexibility. It has the space to work as a comfortable permanent home, somewhere to spend extended periods with family and friends, or a place to retreat to and make the most of the remarkable surroundings. The separate cabin adds another dimension, while the workshop and generous parking make the property equally suited to those who need useful working and storage space.
Above all, this is a home that makes the most of where it is. The position above the development, the outlook over Loch Sunart and the opportunity to sit on the balcony or decking and simply take in the landscape are qualities that cannot be added later. They are what give this property its appeal and what make it a particularly special place to call home.
