Description
Restalrig is a very well-appointed detached house in an elevated situation with views over the southern end of the Kilbrannan Sound and on to the south end of Arran, Ailsa Craig and the Ayrshire Coastline beyond.

Restalrig is an extremely well-presented detached property of white render finish, stone detailing and sandstone brick relief under a dark grey slate roof.

Situation
Restalrig is in a situation of great natural scenic beauty in an area known as Saddell which is about 4.6 miles south of the pretty harbour and coastal village of Carradale.

Carradale is on the south eastern side of the Kintyre Peninsula about 14.4 miles north of Campbeltown and about 23.6 miles south of Tarbert.

Carradale fishing harbour village is extremely scenic. The village has a provisions shop, post office, primary school and two hotels for local dining.

The village has always drawn people and holiday makers to the area to enjoy the peace of the location, scenic beaches, extensive forestry walks and a large number of outdoor and recreational activities. The village has its own community shop, restaurant, tearoom and doctors’ surgery, all of which are just a few minutes away from the Square.

The village has a challenging 9 hole golf course and at Machrihanish (15.4 miles) there are now two of the most challenging and scenic 18 hole links courses in the West of Scotland, Machrihanish and Machrihanish Dunes. Some of the local estates run commercial shoots and there are opportunities to fish on some of the local rivers and hill lochs as well as sea angling in the Kilbrannan Sound. The 3 mile golden beach of Machrihanish Bay is well known for windsurfing and surf kayaking.

Carradale lies at the centre of a network of forest and coastal walks and the area is rich in wildlife with numerous bird species and several species of deer frequently seen.

Neighbouring Torrisdale Castle has become something of a Kintyre peninsula destination with its small batch Gin distillery, café and pleasant parkland estate walks.

The West of Scotland is famed for its scenic sailing and it is possible to safely moor boats in the area with associated chandlery and marina services.

A bus service operates between Carradale harbour and Campbeltown. There is a small airport at Machrihanish with a twice-daily service to and from Glasgow.

The town of Campbeltown is 9.8 miles to the South and has two supermarkets, a full range of shops and professional services, a secondary school, an A&E hospital, leisure facilities (including a modern swimming pool) and a cinema.

From Tarbert there is a ferry link to Portavadie, which gives access to an alternative route to Glasgow via Dunoon and Gourock.

About 18 miles to the north is the picturesque little ferry port of Claonaig, by Skipness, which connects Lochranza on the island of Arran to the Kintyre peninsula, whilst the Kennacraig ferry is circa 20 miles distant (just off the A83) and connects the Kintyre mainland with Islay, Jura and Colonsay. The Kintyre Express offers regular sailings to Ballycastle in the north of Ireland. A long-distance footpath called the Kintyre Way was completed in 2006 and stretches from Tarbert at the North end of the peninsula, to Southend in the South and crisscrosses the peninsula, connecting communities, landscape, people and produce. The Kintyre Way is 100 miles long in total and with 4 to 7 days’ worth of walking, there is a combination of serious hiking and gentle rambles.
