Exceptional country house in exquisite lochside setting with a private island and bothy, BBQ house, spacious outbuildings, stabling and 40 acres in all including 870m of loch frontage. Blairhullichan, or Hulli as it is affectionately known, is not simply an outstanding country house in a stunning location but also a much-loved and characterful family home. Situated on the elevated hillside above Loch Ard, this exceptionally pretty eight bedroom period property dates from the 1600s with various additions and iterations over the centuries. Today, Blairhullichan is a beautifully styled six bedroom house with fine reception rooms and breathtaking views over its own gardens and land to Loch Ard, where the owners can row out from the boathouse to a private island. At present, the house includes an integrated two bedroom self-contained wing used successfully for multi-generational living, but which can be easily incorporated back into the main body of the house or used as a short-term holiday let (subject to licence approval). The ground floor accommodation begins with a splendid dining hall; off here is the living room with wood burning stove and the drawing room with open fire and wonderful bay picture window looking out to the loch. The cosy country kitchen has a range cooker and good storage with lots of room for a table for informal family meals. French doors lead out to a stone terrace and the garden. Completing the ground floor of the main part of the house are the pantry, larder and utility room. Upstairs there are five good sized double bedrooms, all with lovely views. The principal bedroom has a walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom while the others are serviced by three further bathrooms, one with separate walk in shower. The current configuration at Blairhullichan has the west wing of the house set up as a self contained but integrated annexe used successfully for multi-generational living. It could easily be incorporated back into the main body of the house or used as a short-term holiday let (subject to licence approval). On the ground floor there is a hallway, sitting room, dining room and galley kitchen. On the first floor are three spacious and sunny double bedrooms. Outbuildings include an external office off the courtyard and a fantastic range of attractive outbuildings include stabling, garaging, barns and stores. The mature gardens have been lovingly tended over the years and within them is the superb stone-built barbecue house with indoor grill and atmospheric space within that can seat up to 20 people. There is also a terrace in front, making this a fabulous entertaining place all year round. The sale of Blairhullichan includes the rare benefit of 870 meters of loch frontage and a private island (1.75) along with around 38 acres of garden grounds, paddocks (currently home to ponies and donkeys) and woodland, all of which offer a range of scenic walks straight from the house. Loch Ard itself is one of the jewels in the Trossachs crown, and ideal for rowing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, sailing and wild swimming. View payable LBTT Calculator for this property
