Detached Victorian villa set above the shores of Loch Long.
Occupying an elevated position above the shores of Loch Long, The Mount is a substantial Victorian villa extending to approximately 3,400 sq ft, combining impressive period proportions with flexible family accommodation in one of Argyll's most picturesque coastal settings. The property enjoys a commanding outlook across the surrounding landscape, with views towards the loch and the dramatic hills beyond, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and connection to its natural surroundings.
The house is entered via a welcoming porch and vestibule which open into an impressive reception hall, setting the tone for the generous accommodation that follows. The principal reception rooms are well proportioned and arranged to take advantage of the property's attractive setting. A magnificent sitting room and separate lounge provide elegant spaces for both entertaining and everyday living, while a formal dining room offers an ideal setting for family gatherings and special occasions. A separate office provides valuable home working space, adding further versatility to the layout.
At the heart of the home lies the dining kitchen, offering ample space for informal dining and family life. A range of ancillary accommodation including a wet room, laundry/sewing room, rear porch and extensive storage areas ensure the house is well suited to modern living while retaining the character and charm expected of a property of this era. A garage and separate store provide further practical storage solutions.
The first floor is centred around a spacious landing and comprises five bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom. The remaining bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for family members and guests, served by a family bathroom. The layout provides an excellent balance between formal reception space and comfortable bedroom accommodation, making The Mount equally appealing as a permanent family residence or a substantial second home.
The setting is undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Surrounded by mature woodland and established gardens, The Mount enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion whilst remaining close to the shoreline. The elevated position allows the property to take full advantage of the spectacular scenery, with ever-changing views across Loch Long and towards the mountains that frame this beautiful stretch of Scotland's west coast.
A sweeping driveway wraps around the house, providing extensive parking and an impressive approach. The villa is surrounded by mature gardens with expansive lawns and established trees, while approximately one acre of additional land to the rear enhances the sense of space, privacy and exclusivity in this highly desirable coastal location.

I particularly love the balance The Mount offers. It has the grandeur and character of a substantial Victorian home, yet feels incredibly warm and welcoming. Combined with the mature gardens and stunning coastal setting, it is a property that is difficult to leave.
