Property Details

The Location

Just yards from the shore, Carrick Beach House sits at the edge of the tidal sea loch in Carrick Castle, offering panoramic views north to Lochgoilhead and south towards Loch Long, with mountains rising all around. This peaceful spot is ideal for exploring the coastline, watching wildlife, fishing from the rocks, or simply taking in the scenery from the raised patio or beachside bench.

Whether you’re strolling the lochside road, venturing into the surrounding woods and peaks, or simply observing the local wildlife from the comfort of your lounge, this location is a paradise for nature lovers. Gannets, seals, porpoises, and even the occasional minke whale have all been spotted here. The house is a destination in itself—remote, scenic, and deeply relaxing.

The Property

This characterful two-storey Victorian villa offers spacious and comfortable accommodation while retaining many original features. Ideal for large families or groups, the property sleeps up to 9 guests and includes a large drawing room with a bay window and baby grand piano, a separate dining room with loch views, a well-equipped kitchen, a games/TV room, and four spacious bedrooms upstairs.

Entry is via the rear of the house from a private hard-standing parking area (space for up to 3–4 cars). Inside, you’ll find generous living spaces and a layout perfect for both socialising and relaxing. Outside, there’s a raised front patio, a lower lawn, and direct access to the lochside just across the lane.

A grand lochside villa with space for the whole family – secluded, scenic, and full of charm.
