Boat O'rhone, Mossdale, Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, DG7

Lochside home with private frontage and exceptional views over Loch Ken.

Description

Occupying a truly outstanding setting on the shores of Loch Ken, Boat O’rhone is a thoughtfully designed detached bungalow which makes full use of its enviable waterfront position. The house enjoys direct ownership to the foreshore, with facilities to launch small boats and a floating timber jetty, creating an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful yet accessible part of south-west Scotland.

The approach is via a gated driveway leading to a generous gravelled parking area, with gardens and grounds which wrap around the property and offer a variety of seating areas to follow the course of the sun throughout the day.

The internal layout is well balanced and arranged to maximise both natural light and the uninterrupted outlook across the loch. A particular highlight is the sun lounge, a light-filled space with wood-burning stove and a striking picture window framing views over the water. With dual access it opens seamlessly onto the elevated front deck, the covered rear porch and the generous back patio, allowing for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Positioned off is a contemporary dining kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial island, ideal for informal dining and entertaining. The living room is well -proportioned and also enjoys large picture windows and sliding patio doors opening directly to the outside.

The property offers three bedrooms. Two are comfortable double rooms, while the third is currently arranged as a gym and benefits from a built-in sauna. The main bathroom is finished to a high standard, with full-height tiling and a contemporary suite including bath and shower. A fully floored and insulated attic, complete with Velux windows, offers excellent potential for further development subject to the necessary consents.

The property benefits from a range of outbuildings, including an attached single garage, a timber workshop and log store. An 8.5kW solar panel system is in place, significantly enhancing the property’s energy efficiency.

The outdoor space is a defining feature of Boat O’Rhone. An impressive elevated deck at the waterside offers a spectacular vantage point across Loch Ken, ideal for enjoying both sunrise and sunset and provides a sheltered area for outdoor dining. Loch Ken is celebrated for its fishing, swimming and private launching for small crafts, all of which can be enjoyed from the garden’s edge.
