Lodge for sale in Dalavich, By Taynuilt PA35

Attractive detached timber holiday chalet with rare shore frontage

Occupying an exceptional, rural position, with stunning, unspoiled views across Loch Awe to the surrounding countryside, Sloy offers a superb, detached chalet, located within the popular Loch Aweside Chalet Park, at Dalavich. Quietly nestled amidst ancient woodland, the property is further enhanced by the generous garden grounds, equating to around a third of an acre, and including rare Loch frontage, plus a large detached garden shed, ample parking and Scandinavian hot tub. Benefiting from double glazing and partial electric heating, the chalet is in excellent order throughout, and provides deceptively spacious accommodation over one floor. The bright open-plan living area is flooded with natural light and boasts views across the adjoining decked balcony to the loch beyond, and is a most attractive feature. Both of the bedrooms feature wood cladding, much of which has been painted white, adding to the serenity of the property and its surroundings, whilst the shower room is fully tiled with underfloor heating. Sloy has holiday use all year round and would provide an idyllic holiday retreat or as a holiday let in a very buoyant self-catering market as currently used.

The village of Dalavich is situated on the banks of Loch Awe, one of Scotland's largest and most picturesque freshwater lochs. With its wooded shores and scattered small islands, the area is a popular destination for anglers, hill walkers, cyclists, ramblers and holiday makers. Dalavich itself offers a well-stocked General Store, which includes a Post Office and an excellent Café, whilst the extremely active, community-run village hall also offers a bar and caters for private functions.
