Sithean (meaning ’fairy knoll’ in Gaelic) is built atop a wooded hillside overlooking lovely Glen Lonan on a working, regeneratively managed, hill farm. Self-contained and peaceful, the house design allows an intimate connection with the birch woods on the lower level, whilst the living space has a south and west facing dining area, commanding spectacular views of Loch Etive, ’The Shepherds of Glencoe’ to the north, and Ben Cruachan on the east.
Equally well-suited for couples, small groups and families, there’s a large front porch, ideally suited for drying wet outdoor gear, leading into the well-equipped kitchen and utility areas on the main floor. The living, kitchen and dining areas are open plan with vaulted ceilings, and attractively divided by a split-level floor and earth brick walls. Cosy and warm in all weathers, there is a wood burner in the living area, with underfloor heating throughout the house. Also on this floor is a double bedroom with a galleried balcony equipped with twin beds, served by an en-suite Category 2 shower room.
On the lower level, where you feel part of the surrounding woodland, there is a double bedroom, a twin room and a bathroom with sauna, which has direct access onto a decking area. Energy conservation was an important factor in the design of the house; the earth sheltered lower floor is protected from prevailing winds, and the living spaces upstairs allow for passive solar gains as well as natural lighting and ventilation.
The farm is home to a wealth of wildlife; hen harriers and other birds of prey, red and roe deer, red squirrels, black and red grouse, golden eagles and white-tailed eagles, foxes and pine martens, just some of the wildlife which enjoy the varied habitats.
Perfect as a base for exploring the hills, woodlands, and coastlines of Argyll, Sithean is conveniently close to the A85 for easy access to many Argyll attractions. Taynuilt village centre is just a 5-minute drive with a main line railway station, a general store, post office, butchers, hairdressers, café, craft shop and a 9-hole golf course. Ideal for walkers and cyclists, Sithean sits close to the rural lane network forming part of the National Cycle Route 78, which stretches from Oban to Fort William.
Close by is the beautiful inland Loch Awe and fantastic forestry walks through nearby Fearnoch and Glen Nant. Ben Cruachan offers more challenging walking but can be viewed from all around. You can also visit inside the mountain at the Hollow Mountain Visitor Centre. There are several inns and hotels serving food within a short drive. The busy west coast town of Oban, the Gateway to the Isles is within 12 miles’ drive either along the main road (A85) or through enchanting Glen Lonan. Oban has an interesting selection of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, a whisky distillery, and various supermarkets. You can catch a short ferry trip from Oban to one of the Inner Hebrides, including Mull, Staffa, and Iona. There is plenty to do in the area and lots of attractions for days out, including trips to Glencoe, Ben Nevis, and the islands of Kerrera and Easdale to name but a few.
