Ron Mara sits within an elevated rural position on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula and from its raised vantage point there are sublime views across surrounding countryside and over the Sound of Gigha, to Gigha, Islay and Jura, Cara Island and towards Northern Ireland.

Ron Mara is a very well-appointed detached Eco- house completed in a combination of smooth render and larch clad with contemporary grey frame glass exterior neatly presented under a dark grey slate roof. Its accommodation is light, bright and laid across two easily managed levels. Ron Mara has been well maintained, recently upgraded including new downstairs bathroom, water tank and air source heat pump and sits within generous garden grounds.

The house is perfect and well set up for principal family living; Kintyre is also a well-known west of Scotland holiday and short break destination, and so Ron Mara offers scope as a second or income producing holiday home.

The property has glorious sea views towards the top of Northern Ireland, Gigha, Islay and Jura, and benefits from the mild climates created by the Gulf Stream. The western coast of Kintyre has a number of beautiful unspoilt beaches.

The town of Campbeltown is 15.1 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.

In addition, from the eastern side of the peninsula, there is a short ferry crossing from Claonaig to Lochranza on the island of Arran.

The ferry to beautiful Gigha from Tayinloan is circa 10 minutes to the north of the property.

For sporting/outdoor enthusiasts, the links course of Machrihanish is of international acclaim and attracts many visitors. An additional 18-hole golf course known as the Machrihanish Dunes Golf Club has also recently opened.
