Description

Set in an enviable elevated position with panoramic views across Brodick Bay, Goat Fell and the surrounding Arran countryside, Lastmarvin Cottage and Rustic Retreat present an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly flexible site with exciting potential. Located just a short distance from the heart of Brodick, this unique offering includes a detached one-bedroom bungalow and a separate, modernised cabin, both enjoying a peaceful rural setting and some of the island’s most captivating scenery.

The site holds considerable potential for redevelopment. Subject to the appropriate consents (STPP), the cabin could be replaced with a new 3–4 bedroom detached home, and discussions with the local planning authority have already indicated support in principle for this. In addition, services remain in place for a second static caravan, previously located next to the Rustic Retreat, offering further development possibilities.

Given the non-standard construction of both the cottage and the cabin, the property is suited to cash buyers or those not requiring mortgage finance. As such – a Home Report is NOT required.

Whether as a tranquil island escape, an investment opportunity, or a site for a bespoke self-build home, Lastmarvin Cottage & Rustic Retreat offer an exceptional prospect in one of Arran’s most picturesque settings.

Accommodation

Lastmarvin Cottage
Constructed approximately 90 years ago, Lastmarvin Cottage is a detached bungalow of timber-frame construction with concrete board, wet dash render, and a steel slate-effect roof. Internally, the layout includes a living room, kitchen, shower room, and one double bedroom. The property is currently tenanted on a short-term basis (and would be prepared to remain), generating a monthly rental income of £500, with vacant possession available from 3rd November 2025. Despite its modest footprint, the cottage is ideally suited for use as a long-term rental, holiday let, or private retreat.

Rustic Retreat
Rustic Retreat began life as a caravan and has been thoughtfully reconfigured and extensively upgraded into a bright, well-insulated and stylish one-bedroom cabin. The internal layout is open-plan, comprising a comfortable living and dining area with log-burning stove, modern kitchen with integrated appliances, and a shower room with contemporary fittings. The double bedroom includes built-in storage, and large patio doors lead out to a private area of decking, perfectly positioned to take in the breathtaking views. Until recently, the cabin operated as a licensed 3-star holiday let, attracting up to £130 per night. While it is no longer licensed under current short-term let legislation, it remains an ideal space for guests, rental, or personal use.

Grounds & Services

The property sits within generous garden grounds, ample parking for multiple vehicles, and uninterrupted vistas that stretch across Brodick Bay to the imposing peak of Goat Fell. The setting is peaceful, private, and naturally sheltered—ideal for those seeking space, light, and inspiration.

The site is connected to mains electricity and water, with sewage managed via a shared septic tank (shared with the neighbouring property, The Sheilin). Services for an additional caravan remain in place, including power, water and drainage, offering immediate scope to reintroduce a second unit (STPP).

Area

Located just over a mile from the main road, Lastmarvin Cottage & Rustic Retreat enjoy a peaceful rural setting while still being within easy reach of Brodick’s many amenities. Often referred to as “Scotland in Miniature,” the Isle of Arran boasts a rich blend of dramatic landscapes, vibrant local communities, and a wealth of outdoor and cultural activities.

Brodick, the island’s capital, offers two Co-op supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, a nursery and primary school, library, medical centre, and the island’s main ferry terminal, with frequent CalMac sailings to Ardrossan and Troon. Thanks to the Road Equivalent Tariff (RET), ferry fares are now significantly more affordable, and onward rail connections from Ardrossan and Troon link directly to Glasgow. Prestwick International Airport is just 16 miles south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport approximately 24 miles to the east.

A short drive south leads to Lamlash, home to the island’s High School, hospital, and a further selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. Across the island at Lochranza, a second ferry terminal provides easy access to Kintyre and the wider West Highlands via Claonaig.

Lastmarvin Cottage and Rustic Retreat offer a truly rare opportunity to acquire a flexible site in a spectacular setting, with the potential to build a stunning new island home or continue with holiday letting and lifestyle use. With breathtaking views, existing services, and planning potential, this is a site with real scope for development, or simply to enjoy as it is.
