Escape to an award-winning luxury house with its own private beach on Loch Long in stunning Argyll

A spectacular setting, superb style and stunning views come together to create this exquisite waterside home. Boasting panoramic views from the welcoming living space, put your feet up and watch the world go by or enjoy a tipple at the table as the sun sets. Whet your appetite then wet your toes in the hot tub or stroll down to your private beach for an evening on the rocks. Before unwinding in this magnificent home, spend days adventuring local Helensburgh, swimming in Loch Long and hunting down exciting walking trails. For a magical escape shared with friends and family, look no further than this majestic abode.

Step inside where you will be wowed by sleek lines, contemporary features and breathtaking views of the ebbing water below. Soak up the tranquil atmosphere of the open-plan living space where the dining room, lounge and kitchen create the heart of the home. Cook up a storm in the stylish kitchen before gathering around the island for a glass of something cold and sitting down at the elegant table for a communal bite to eat. When there’s a chill in the air, simply fire up the wood burner, snuggle up on the sofa with a good book and lose yourself in a peaceful moment. Find four of five bedrooms on the ground floor, all of which are delightfully relaxing spaces in which to rest tired heads and aching muscles.

Descend to the lower floor where a large double bedroom with sitting area awaits. Also treated to its own balcony, wake up and sip a cup of coffee each morning as you make plans for the day ahead.

The fabulous interior is only complemented by the rough, craggy landscapes surrounding this home-from-home. Make the most of balmy evenings and head out to the terrace where you can soak in the cedar hot tub under the stars, wander down to the private pebble beach, dine alfresco and roam the gardens. Due to its waterside nature, please be aware of the steps which must be climbed to reach these different areas. For a day on the water, enquire about the boat charter and hop aboard from your very own mooring!

Once you have settled into the peaceful way of life at this charming waterside home, you might find yourself wanting a dose of city life for the day. Glasgow is 40 miles from your door and boasts an abundance of spots for retail therapy, savouring a delicious bite to eat and lapping up Scottish history at one of many memorable landmarks. Visit the Cathedral, Gallery of Modern Art or Riverside Museum to keep the creative guests happy before you head back home for a relaxing evening.

 

Make the most of waterside living and spend the day on the edge of Loch Long. Those of you brave enough to immerse yourself in the water will emerge feeling refreshed and revitalised after a dip, or you can try your hand at fishing if you prefer to stay relatively dry!

 

At 19 miles from home, you can enjoy a game of golf at the Loch Lomond Golf Club whilst other guests try their luck at spotting the porpoise, seals and birds which inhabit the surrounding area. The Sea Life Aquarium at Loch Lomond is a great day out for family members both young and old and is just 23 miles from your door.

We absolutely loved staying at Cape Cove. The view from the massive picture window was stunning - during our stay we say dolphins and seals from the window. We sea kayaked and swam straight from the propertys beach, and the hot tub was welcome to return to! Its a well equipped house with lots of space and comfort. Wed go back in a heartbeat.

we were a group of 8 with some kids. The property and views were just what we expected. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the games room, hot tub as much as we could. We would agree with previous comments that some minor TLC is required but this did not stop us from enjoying ourselves. Sundowners on the deck, watching the seals and submarines!

Spacious property with absolutely stunning views over Loch Long. Deck was great for eating/reading, plentiful seating by the hot tub. If it had been a bit warmer (we were there in May), the fire pit at the end of the garden might have been a great spot to watch the sun go down.
