Overlooking the mysterious waters of Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde, this exquisite property is a winner of numerous architectural awards. With an enviable waterfront location and exclusive use of a sheltered beach and jetty, there's plenty to see from the comfort of the property. If you fancy a stroll, just 1.5 miles away is the tiny hamlet of Cove with a welcoming pub; ideal for a delicious pub lunch and a wee dram of whisky.

Framed by seamless glass walls, the open-plan living space overlooks the beautiful Loch Long, creating the illusion of walking on water. On stormy days, the roaring wood burner adds to the dramatic atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for dining in style at the table or spotting porpoises, seals and amazing bird life in the waters below. The well-equipped kitchen is designed to cater for a full house and dinners can also be enjoyed from the stunning glass-fronted dining area or out on the covered teak deck which also features a state of the art BBQ. From the entrance hall, you'll find three of the double bedrooms, the twin bedroom and the family bathroom, each carefully finished with soothing contemporary decor. The utility room and a handy cloakroom are also on this floor, with stairs leading down to the final double bedroom, sitting area and shower room all leading to a slate deck and seawall.

To the north, there is another terrace with sun loungers, a shelter with an outside shower and superb hot tub overlooking the pebble beach. Enjoy sunny days, cold water dips or nights beneath the stars, whatever you choose, the hot tub makes them all invigorating. Fish for mackerel from the mini pier, arrange a charter boat to fetch you and go sailing on the word famous Firth of Clyde, or arrive by your own boat and moor up at Cape Cove. From the beach you can walk up to Tighe Choin, a micro gym with beautiful views before taking the boardwalk to the north of the land to Smiths Lookout where you will find an outside fire pit with seating and storage.
