This contextually driven house is defined by its harmonious relationship with the surrounding mountains, sea lochs and sky. Set close to the rural hamlet of North Connel in Scotland’s Argyll and Bute region, its striking silvered-larch and stone-clad façades have been cleverly orientated to make the most of the sublime surrounding views. The wrapping garden stretches to around a third of an acre; it has been cleverly cultivated under current ownership and is home to a handy garage/workshop. The house, a part of Achnacree Bay View, lies around six miles north of the popular western coast town of Oban and 95 and 120 miles north-west of Glasgow and Edinburgh respectively.
