4 bedroom detached house

Waterside Property is delighted to present this exciting opportunity for a complete lifestyle change, literally on the shores of Kyles of Bute in the gorgeous coastal village of Kames. ‘The Pier House’, plus adjacent ‘Pier Cottage’, are both wonderful properties which have recently been upgraded to exceptionally high standards, thus offering the chance to live in a very comfortable and elegant home whilst generating a healthy income by renting the cottage out. Both properties benefit by the shoreside location, good sized gardens which incorporate the lawned pier, large decking areas, a section of the beach, numerous places to relax and enjoy the surroundings and parking for four vehicles. Opportunities such as this rarely come on the open market and this will most definitely appeal to anybody looking to relocate to this beautiful part of the world and lead a happy, content and fulfilling life. Early viewing is highly recommended.

The picturesque villages of Tighnabruaich and Kames sit on Kyles of Bute and are famous for their scenic beauty and sailing waters. The villages benefit from small local independent retailers as well as hotels, cafes and restaurants. The world renowned steamer, PS Waverley, also regularly berths at the pier. The wider area boasts a golf course, tennis court, children’s play area, sailing clubs and the ever expanding, and growing in stature, Portavadie Marina.
