Description
A unique four bedroom detached home, presented in walk in condition and enjoying stunning loch and countryside views from its elevated position just off Shore Road (A880) in the coastal village of Kilmun.
Kasalito is an exceptionally adaptable home, centred around a bright and welcoming open plan sitting/dining room where twin French doors open directly onto the full width balcony, framing stunning views over the Holy Loch to the hills beyond. The room is cleverly arranged to offer both a comfortable sitting/TV area and a dedicated dining space, each positioned to make the most of the outlook.
The spacious kitchen is accessed from the sitting room and features modern units with ample room for a fridge freezer and dishwasher. A second set of French doors leads from the kitchen onto the balcony, creating a seamless indoor outdoor flow—perfect for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee while taking in the scenery. On the upper floor are 4 double bedrooms and a bathroom and 2 shower rooms.
With its enviable south facing position, the balcony is bathed in sunshine from sunrise through to sunset, creating an exceptional space to relax, dine or simply enjoy the uninterrupted views.
Internally, the property benefits from an en suite shower room, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, along with a handy utility room, a study/reading hallway and a floored attic room that would make an ideal home office, games room or guest space. Externally, a private driveway leads to a well equipped garage/workshop, while the decked area to the side and several thoughtfully placed seating spots provide inviting places to unwind outdoors. The extended rear grounds offer exciting potential for further landscaping to enhance the gardens even more. Beautifully presented, wonderfully versatile and set within a highly sought after coastal location with truly exceptional views, Kasalito is a lovely family home that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
The picturesque village of Kilmun is surrounded by exceptional natural beauty, sitting gracefully on the banks of the Holy Loch with outstanding views across the water, the Firth of Clyde, and the rolling hills and countryside beyond. Located approximately six miles from Dunoon and on the edge of Scotland’s First National Park, Kilmun offers a peaceful coastal lifestyle with excellent local amenities.
The village is well served by a post office/mini market, hotel, golf and bowling clubs, medical centre, churches, and a highly regarded primary school, proudly awarded the Green Flag.
Nearby attractions include the enchanting Kilmun Arboretum, home to a wide variety of tree species and wildlife, several recognised walking routes ranging from gentle to more challenging, and the historic Argyll Mausoleum set within the grounds of Kilmun Church.
Just a few minutes’ drive away, on the opposite side of the loch, lies the popular and ever expanding Holy Loch Marina, a hub for sailing and watersports. Many boat owners also take advantage of seasonal moorings within the loch during the summer months. A regular bus service connects Kilmun to Dunoon, making supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, cafés, pubs, sports clubs, sailing
facilities and the local cinema easily accessible. For those commuting further afield, Dunoon offers two ferry links to Gourock, providing onward rail and coach connections to Glasgow city centre, with Glasgow Airport, Braehead Shopping Centre, and Greenock all within comfortable reach.
