There is something special about this stretch of Scotland’s west coast, where mountains descend towards sea lochs and small communities sit among woodland, open countryside and water.
Barcaldine lies between Oban and Appin in a landscape that offers the peace of rural Highland life without leaving everyday amenities impossibly far away.
Appin View sits comfortably within that landscape, surrounded by mature gardens and countryside with partial loch views adding another dimension to its wonderfully peaceful setting.
Recently modernised and beautifully presented, the cottage has the warmth and character of a country home while providing the comfort expected of modern life.
Everything is arranged on one level, giving the house an easy simplicity that would work equally well for permanent living, retirement or as a west coast escape.
At the heart of the home is an open plan kitchen, dining and living space where cooking, conversation and relaxation come naturally together.
A traditional open fire brings character to the dining area, while the lounge has its own multi fuel stove and a semi vaulted ceiling that enhances the feeling of light and space.
From here, sliding doors lead into the conservatory, creating a peaceful place to sit and look across the garden and surrounding countryside whatever the weather decides to do outside.
Three double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and visitors, while the contemporary shower room reflects the thoughtful modernisation found throughout the cottage.
The gardens are an important part of life at Appin View, with mature shrubs, flowers and lawns creating colour through the seasons and attracting wildlife throughout the year.
A raised deck provides somewhere to sit outside and appreciate the quiet surroundings, with further seating and barbecue areas making the grounds as useful for entertaining as they are for simply finding a peaceful corner of your own.
There is also a substantial detached timber workshop with power, heating, lighting and plumbing, opening up possibilities for hobbies, storage or practical workspace away from the house.
Beyond the garden, this part of Argyll offers almost endless opportunities to get outdoors, whether walking, cycling, wildlife watching or taking to the water.
Tralee Beach is only a short drive away, while historic Barcaldine Castle provides another reminder that this landscape has stories stretching back through generations.
Oban lies around 11 miles to the south, providing shops, schools, restaurants, healthcare and leisure facilities as well as ferry connections that open up the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides.
What makes Appin View particularly appealing is the balance it achieves, offering genuine country living in a beautiful west coast setting while keeping the coast, Oban and the wider Highlands within easy reach.
