There are places in the Highlands where the landscape encourages people to slow down, leave the car behind and spend more time outdoors.

Dalavich is one of those places.

Set on the shores of Loch Awe and surrounded by ancient woodland, the village offers a peaceful retreat where walking, fishing, cycling and simply enjoying the natural world become part of everyday life.

Tucked away within the popular Loch Aweside Chalet Park, Taigh Nan Con occupies one of the most secluded positions on the site.

Surrounded by mature trees and set within around a third of an acre of private ground, the detached timber chalet enjoys a quiet woodland setting only a short walk from the shoreline of Scotland’s longest freshwater loch.

The property has an immediate sense of warmth and informality.

Its timber exterior sits naturally among the trees, creating the impression of a genuine woodland retreat rather than a conventional holiday home.

Inside, the open plan living area has been designed to make the most of the available space.

A vaulted timber ceiling enhances the feeling of light and openness, while French doors lead directly onto the raised deck, allowing the surrounding woodland to become an extension of the living space.

At the centre of the room, a wood burning stove creates a welcoming focal point that makes the chalet just as appealing during the colder months as it is in summer.

The kitchen blends neatly into the open plan layout, providing everything needed for relaxed weekends away or longer stays without dominating the room itself.

Two bedrooms offer practical accommodation, making the property equally suited to couples, young families or those looking for a peaceful Highland base.

Outside is where Taigh Nan Con really comes into its own.

The elevated timber deck wraps around three sides of the chalet, creating a variety of places to sit, dine or simply enjoy the surrounding woodland.

A covered hot tub and separate timber sauna transform the outdoor space into something more than just a garden, offering a place to relax after a day’s walking, fishing or exploring the nearby countryside.

Beyond the deck, the natural lawn, mature trees and fire pit continue the sense of seclusion, making the grounds feel private while remaining part of a welcoming woodland community.

Dalavich has long been regarded as one of Argyll’s hidden gems.

Loch Awe attracts anglers, kayakers and wildlife enthusiasts throughout the year, while the surrounding forests provide miles of walking and cycling trails.

The village itself offers a shop, café, post office and active community hall, giving residents and visitors the essentials without disturbing the area’s peaceful character.

Taigh Nan Con also benefits from a short term letting licence, providing the opportunity for new owners to continue operating it as a successful holiday let or simply enjoy it as a private retreat whenever they choose.

What makes this property particularly appealing is its simplicity.

It is not about luxury for its own sake.

Instead, it offers something increasingly valuable.

Peace, woodland, fresh air and the chance to spend time surrounded by one of Scotland’s most beautiful natural landscapes.

The property is being marketed by MacPhee & Partners.
