Rarely available, High Pluck presents an outstanding opportunity to rent an exceptional four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached residence, occupying an enviable elevated position overlooking the spectacular coastline of Saddell Bay.
Surrounded by rolling countryside and framed by breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the Firth of Clyde to the Ayrshire coast, this beautifully appointed home offers a unique blend of luxury, tranquillity and contemporary family living in one of Scotland's most unspoilt coastal settings.
Designed to embrace its remarkable surroundings, the property combines elegant interiors with expansive living spaces, creating a home that is equally suited to relaxed family life, sophisticated entertaining and peaceful retreat.
At its heart lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed with bespoke wooden cabinetry, Silestone worktops and a premium electric Aga. The adjoining utility room provides extensive additional storage and integrated appliances, ensuring both style and practicality. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto the sun terrace, where uninterrupted coastal vistas provide an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons.
The beautifully proportioned sitting room offers an inviting space in which to unwind, centred around a contemporary wood-burning stove that creates warmth and atmosphere on cooler evenings. Large patio doors seamlessly connect the interior with the landscaped gardens, encouraging effortless indoor-outdoor living.
Flexible accommodation on the ground floor includes a generous fourth bedroom, currently arranged as an additional reception room, complemented by its own shower room and separate WC. This versatile space is ideal for guests, multigenerational living or those seeking an elegant home office or snug.
The first floor offers three spacious bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and charming coombed ceilings that add character and warmth. The luxurious principal suite enjoys a private dressing area, generous en-suite bathroom and commanding views across the surrounding countryside and coastline. A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes the upper accommodation.
• House is extremely well insulated (built in 2009 despite its traditional appearance), so it doesn't take much to warm it up
• Solar panels that contribute electricity to the house
• PV solar panels that heat water.
• The Aga has the bonus of heating the whole house, and it will generally stay warm for a full day. It an intelligent management system that allows it to be set on a timer and also turned on/off via remote control.
• Underfloor heating downstairs and rads upstairs.
• Log burner in the lounge (with piles of wood under the decking, and cheap wood from the Community shop in carradale)
• Oil heating for water/underfloor heating/rads. McNairs in Campbeltown do a service where they deliver oil every time they pass, they'll just top the tank up and let you know how much. Since wthe landlord bought the property in May 2022, they only ever had the tank topped up twice, to a grand total of around 1800 litres costing about £1500. Oil prices obviously fluctuate,, but McNairs have historically charged between about 70p-80p per litre.
The house also has thermostats in most rooms that control the rads/heating in that room and can be set independently.
Outside, High Pluck is approached by private parking and sits within mature landscaped gardens to both the front and rear, providing complete privacy and an idyllic setting for outdoor living. The generous patio is perfectly positioned for al fresco dining, morning coffee or evening sunsets overlooking Saddell Bay.
Adding to the property's exceptional appeal is a detached studio building incorporating a fully insulated home office, creative workspace or gym, together with extensive storage and loft space—ideal for modern flexible living.
Perhaps most enchanting of all is the location. The world-renowned Saddell Beach, famous for its sweeping golden sands, historic castle and appearances in film and television, is just a leisurely stroll away. Whether enjoying coastal walks, wildlife spotting, paddleboarding or simply taking in the spectacular scenery, residents will experience an enviable lifestyle immersed in the natural beauty of the Kintyre Peninsula.
