Suleskerry, Skipness, Tarbert, Argyll and Bute, PA29

Stunning coastal retreat with expansive sea views.

Description

Set in an outstanding elevated position with truly spectacular views across the Kilbrannan Sound towards the Isle of Arran, Suleskerry is an impressive and substantial coastal residence. Thoughtfully designed with both the landscape and large-scale occupation in mind, the property offers approximately 6,100 sq ft square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors, with the majority of principal rooms perfectly positioned to maximise the exceptional outlook.

The accommodation begins opening into a welcoming reception hall, flowing through to a superbly proportioned and versatile games room, ideally suited to group occupation and enjoying far-reaching south-easterly views. At the heart of the house lies an expansive and well-appointed open plan kitchen, superbly equipped for entertaining with two range cookers, extensive bespoke cabinetry and ample space for dining.

An inner hall leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, each filled with natural light and benefitting from far-reaching views. The sitting room is a particularly inviting and characterful space, centred around an open fire, while the adjoining library offers a distinctive and atmospheric setting with extensive fitted shelving. The impressive orangery-style sunroom is bathed in natural light and enjoys sweeping southerly views, providing a bright and uplifting space for year-round enjoyment. A further snug provides a more intimate family living area, complemented by an additional study. The ground floor also includes a generously proportioned double bedroom with a stylish en suite shower room complete with a modern walk-in shower, offering excellent flexibility for single-level living if required. A separate utility room provides excellent storage, plumbing for additional appliances and external access.

On the first floor there are seven spacious double bedrooms, six of which benefit from well-appointed en suite facilities, featuring high-quality fittings including Matki walk-in showers and Kaldewei designer baths, together with a family bathroom. The layout is both flexible and well considered, ideally suited to private use, guest accommodation or a combination of both.

Externally, extensive decking to the south and west elevations provides superb, elevated vantage points from which to appreciate the spectacular coastal views. A sheltered sunken garden offers a more secluded and tranquil outdoor retreat, complemented by a useful storage building. The property is approached from a minor public road, leading through gates to a generous gravel parking and turning area.

The property benefits from a self-catering licence and is currently operating successfully as a high-quality holiday let, with forward bookings in place. It offers a compelling opportunity as a substantial private residence, a lifestyle purchase with supplementary income, or an investment with an immediate income stream. The current owners would be particularly keen to hear from buyers interested in continuing the holiday-let and its associated local employment; this operation, including forward bookings and income, is available by separate negotiation.

Location

Suleskerry occupies a superb position on the unspoilt Kintyre Peninsula, renowned for its dramatic coastline, quiet beaches and natural beauty. The setting combines a sense of island-style seclusion with the convenience of the mainland. The Peninsula boasts a number of excellent sandy beaches, including Sandy Bay at Skipness (2 miles), the popular surfing spot of Westport beach (31miles), and Carradale Bay (13miles). More secluded options include Shell Beach near Tarbert and the peaceful sands of Saddell Bay. Tarbert (10 miles) is a picturesque and lively coastal hub that hosts music and arts festivals. World-class sailing is available on Loch Fyne and the Clyde Estuary, with marinas at Tarbert—where regatta week is second only to Cowes—Portavadie, Crinan, Ardfern, and Craobh Haven. The Crinan Canal offers access to the Hebrides.

For outdoor pursuits, the waymarked Kintyre Way passes close to the house, winding through the peninsula's many scenic trails. The area is also well regarded for golf, with the championship course at Machrihanish (35 miles), the hidden gem of Dunaverty (37 miles), and attractive 9-hole courses at Tarbert and Carradale. Other convenient activities include boating and water sports on West Loch Tarbert, cycling along scenic coastal and island routes, and day trips to the Isle of Arran via the year-round ferry at Claonaig (1 mile).

The ferries to Islay and Jura lie around 6 miles away, placing the property within Argyll’s celebrated ‘Whisky Coast’, alongside Campbeltown and its internationally renowned distilleries. Everyday amenities are available locally. Skipness offers a vibrant village shop and coffee stop, an artisan smokery, and a renowned seafood cabin. Tarbert provides a wider range of services, including shops, restaurants, and both primary and secondary schooling. A regular bus service connects the two villages.
