Architect-designed coastal retreat with breathtaking views.
Occupying a peaceful position on the Morvern peninsula, Tigh Na Mara is a remarkable contemporary coastal home designed to embrace its spectacular setting. Elevated above the shoreline and enjoying uninterrupted views across the Sound of Mull towards the mountains beyond, the property combines bold architectural design with a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
Constructed around an impressive exposed oak frame, the house has been thoughtfully planned to maximise light, space and outlook. The principal living accommodation is arranged on the upper floor, ensuring that the panoramic coastal views are at the forefront of everyday life. Extensive glazing wraps around the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living room space, drawing the eye across the water while flooding the interior with natural light. Dramatic in scale and character, the room is defined by its vaulted ceiling, exposed oak timbers and walls of glazing which frame the ever-changing seascape beyond. Doors open onto three elevated balconies surrounding the upper floor, creating a seamless connection between inside and out and providing wonderful spaces from which to enjoy morning coffee, al fresco dining or an evening sunset over the Sound. Above the main living area, an oak-framed mezzanine gallery overlooks the reception space below and provides highly flexible accommodation, ideal as a reading room or studio. Adjoining the living space is the principal bedroom suite, which enjoys the same elevated position, creating a peaceful retreat with en suite bathroom. The remaining accommodation on the ground floor benefits from bedroom and generous study area providing an excellent home-working environment. An additional room, currently used as a cinema room with ensuite bathroom, offers further flexibility and could serve as a hobby room, snug or overflow guest accommodation. The property's versatile configuration could readily accommodate a variety of alternative uses depending on requirements. A utility room incorporates a drying area, boiler room and WC, while a substantial heated workshop/boat store provides excellent space for projects, storage or outdoor equipment. Outside, the grounds complement the natural beauty of the setting. Lawns and established planting provide a peaceful backdrop, while a small stream meanders through the property. The surrounding landscape attracts an abundance of wildlife and offers a constant connection to nature, whether watching seabirds over the water, observing passing boats on the Sound or simply enjoying the changing light across the surrounding hills and coastline. A separate barn further enhances the property's appeal, particularly for those wishing to make the most of the exceptional sailing, kayaking, fishing and wildlife opportunities available along this stretch of coastline.

What I love most about Tigh Na Mara is the way the house has been designed around the view. The open-plan living space, framed by walls of glass and surrounded by elevated balconies, ensures the ever-changing outlook across the Sound of Mull is always front and centre.
