Ardcraig, Craighouse, Isle of Jura, Argyll and Bute, PA60

An exciting opportunity to acquire a four-bedroom detached property set in an enviable coastal position on the Isle of Jura, sitting within croft ground extending to approximately 12 acres.

Situated in an elevated position above the charming coastal village of Craighouse on the Isle of Jura, Ardcraig presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained four-bedroom detached home, nestled within approximately 12 acres of croft land.

Accessed traditionally via the side elevation, the property welcomes you through a ramped entrance into a spacious utility room—ideal for storing outdoor gear and footwear. From here, a door opens into a generous open-plan living area tha combines the kitchen, lounge, and dining spaces.

The kitchen features a tasteful selection of wooden cabinetry paired with a contrasting dark-grey worktop, which extends to form a breakfast bar beside the dining area. Integrated appliances include a double oven and electric hob, offering both style and functionality. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a free-standing fridge/freezer. A pantry is also located within the kitchen.
Positioned at the front of the home, the lounge is perfectly placed to take in the sweeping coastal views. Bathed in natural light, the space feels bright and airy, with a multi-fuel stove set into the fireplace—an inviting focal point that complements the air-source heating system.

A hallway leads to a versatile ground-floor sitting room, also enjoying front-facing views. Previously used as a bedroom, this room benefits from an en-suite shower room, which also connects to the utility room via Jack and Jill doors. A formal entrance at the front of the house opens into the central hallway.

Upstairs, the first-floor layout includes four individually styled bedrooms, all accessed from a central landing. Two of the rooms enjoy front-facing aspects, while a family bathroom and a separate dressing room complete the upper level.
Externally, a sweeping track leads from the main road up to the property, providing ample parking to the rear. A large metal storage shed sits adjacent to the house, currently used for storage but offering potential for home-based business use.

Within the grounds, two partially constructed cabins offer exciting potential for development as letting pods, subject to the appropriate planning permissions and licences.
The surrounding croft land, extending to around 12 acres, follows the natural contours of the hillside—ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle opportunity. An area of decking with seating is located at the roadside, offering views out across the water.

The Isle of Jura is just a few miles north-east from The Isle of Islay and separated by the Sound of Islay. Despite its size, Jura is only inhabited by about 200 people, who are outnumbered by the huge

population of deer. Jura has a lot to offer to its visitors. There are many historical sites of interest, varying from Iron Age Forts, ancient burial grounds and standing stones.

Craighouse is a scenic village and the main settlement on the island with a shop, bistro, a welcoming hotel, a village hall, the Parish Church and a primary school. Older children travel together daily to the high school on Islay. Jura’s only distillery produces the world-famous malt whisky which is exported all over the world.
Jura’s west coast is wild terrain of raised beaches and interesting caves, offering visitors wildlife and stunning views. Jura is a paradise for walkers with the Paps of Jura being the main destination.

Services include mains water, mains electricity, private drainage, air source heating, BT phone and superfast broadband connectivity.



Vehicle travel to the Isle of Jura is either by ferry from Kennacraig, Tarbert to the Isle of Islay, and then a further ferry crossing to Jura. Alternatively, a passenger ferry also crosses from Tayvallich directly into the village of Craighouse.

Ardcraig is situated just a short distance from the village centre, with the entrance track marked clearly at the roadside.
