An attractive residential and amenity farm in a stunning position on the Isle of Mull has come to the market for offers over £1.25m.
The 356-acre Scallastle Farm, overlooking Scallastle Bay and the Sound of Mull, offers diversification, development and afforestation opportunities.
It includes five-bedroom Scallastle Farmhouse, a beautifully designed contemporary home offering views to Inninbeg and Lochaline, and, adjacent, three-bedroom Scallastle Cottage.
The farmland comprises 46 acres of permanent pasture and 282 acres of rough grazing/hill ground with the potential for afforestation. There are opportunities for deer stalking and rough shooting. The farm includes a range of outbuildings and a large area of hard standing suitable for the creation of modern farm buildings.
Diane Fleming, handling the sale for Strutt & Parker, said: “Scallastle Farm provides not only a fantastic opportunity to purchase a unique property on Mull, but also an island lifestyle which is hard to come by.
“The farm is nestled in a sheltered nook which overlooks the Sound of Mull and the close shores of the Argyll mainland as well as the contrasting mountainous landscape beyond.
“The architect-designed contemporary farmhouse at its core enjoys open plan stylish living spaces and even features a hidden room. The house oozes comfort and luxury with its under floor heating, high quality finishes and use of glass which frame the outstanding views.
“In addition, there is supplementary accommodation provided in the form of a three-bedroom cottage and the opportunity to develop further in the traditional stable buildings or along the river's edge.
“The farm itself benefits from a useful range of outbuildings and again there is potential to increase this to suit a more intensified agricultural farming model.
“We expect that it will appeal to those looking for an escape from the city and a sense of seclusion but not isolation, even more so now that we have entered a new realm where 'working from home' is becoming the norm.”
