There are plenty of timber cabins tucked away in the woods around Loch Awe, but relatively few come with their own stretch of shoreline and the right to fish in the loch itself.
Fyne, a two bedroom cabin at Dalavich in Argyll, occupies a waterfront position where the grounds extend down to Loch Awe, providing direct access to one of Scotland’s largest freshwater lochs.
The property also benefits from riparian fishing rights, allowing fishing for native species from the shore or by boat, according to the selling agent.
For anyone interested in getting out onto the water, that direct access is an important distinction, with paddleboarding and wild swimming also among the activities available from the shoreline.
The cabin forms part of Loch Aweside Chalet Park, a development of timber properties set among the trees near Dalavich village.
Although modest in size, Fyne makes good use of its position overlooking the water.
A timber balcony extends from the main living accommodation, providing an outdoor seating area with views across the loch and a private hot tub.
Inside, the accommodation is arranged around an open plan lounge and kitchen, with timber lined walls, glazed panels and a multi fuel stove set on a slate hearth.
The kitchen has fitted units and the usual appliances, while the living area opens directly onto the balcony.
There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other fitted with bunk beds, providing accommodation for up to five guests.
A separate shower room completes the accommodation.
The cabin is currently operated as a holiday letting business, with Dawsons Estate Agents describing it as established and profitable.
No trading accounts or financial figures are included in the sales brochure, although the agent states that future bookings and business handover information can be made available.
The property is being sold with its trading furniture and furnishings, and the current owners hold a short term letting licence issued by Argyll and Bute Council.
Any incoming operator would need to establish the licensing requirements applicable to a change of ownership.
There are also practical considerations, including shared private water and drainage arrangements, an EPC rating of F and a monthly factoring charge covering shared services and maintenance.
Dalavich is a small community on the western shores of Loch Awe, with a village shop, Post Office facilities, café and social club.
The surrounding area is known for its wooded shoreline, scattered islands and opportunities for fishing and other outdoor activities.
Fyne’s appeal is closely tied to that setting, although its established holiday letting operation gives the property a commercial purpose beyond its use as a private retreat.
It is a small cabin with a particularly interesting piece of Loch Awe on its doorstep, and the shoreline access and fishing rights are what distinguish it from more conventional holiday accommodation.
The property is being marketed by Dawsons Estate Agents.
