Corrachaive is an exceptional parcel of rural property & land assets which are located in a wonderful location circa 7 miles west of Dunoon. The property and land sits within a picturesque valley which provides for a private and rural situation with many opportunities available for an inbound buyer. Colintraive (10 miles to the south) has a hotel with a friendly bar and an enviable reputation for pub and restaurant cuisine, an everyday provisions shop, post
office, heritage centre, community garden and an all-weather bowling green. From Colintraive there is a short and regular 5-minute Calmac ferry crossing to the neighbouring Island of Bute.

The main town on Bute is Rothesay where there are local shops, a supermarket and a further ferry to the Clyde coast. The other main centre in the area is Dunoon which provides further shops, supermarket and services, in addition to two competing ferry services across the Clyde. Excellent local medical services are delivered from Tighnabruaich.

There is a local primary school at Glendaruel, and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon Grammar, which has an excellent reputation. A school bus runs from Colintraive to Dunoon Grammar in the morning and afternoon to transport students to and from school. It is possible for some of the students to board at the school.

The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits, including yachting and boating, golf, fishing, hill walking and country walks in an area rich in history. The Cowal Way stretches from Portavadie on Loch Fyne and travels for some 41.6 miles to Arrochar through some of the most dramatic and picturesque sea and landscapes on the west coast.

A scenic 9-hole golf course is at Kames, with further courses on the Island of Bute and at Dunoon. Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area as are a number of shoots run either commercially or by syndicates. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement.

Local bus services run to Tighnabruaich, Rothesay and Dunoon. The Braehead retail village to the west of Glasgow is only 32.6 miles (albeit including a short ferry crossing over the Clyde) and has Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s anchor stores, a range of High Street multiples, plus an IKEA superstore. Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Morrisons each have large outlets
in Greenock, circa 16.9 minutes (in normal driving conditions) from the ferry terminals.
The city of Glasgow is 41.5 miles by ferry and provides extensive retail, commercial, cultural, higher educational and leisure services

Travel Directions

Take the ferry to Hunters Quay, Dunoon. Leaving the terminal turn right onto the A815. At the ‘T’ junction adjacent to the marina in Sandbank turn right. After approx 1.5 miles turn left on to the B836. Travel for about 7 miles through Glenlean the entrance to Corrachaive is on the left hand side.
