Description

Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial development site with full planning permission for three architecturally designed four-bedroom family homes, boasting spectacular views over the Gare Loch in the picturesque village of Shandon.

Development Highlights:

Full planning permission granted (Ref: 23/00609/PP)
Plans for three bespoke, four-bedroom homes
Elevated position with stunning views across Gare Loch
Contemporary architectural design combining traditional render and stone quoins with stylish zinc detailing on roofs, dormers, and balconies
A thoughtfully unified yet distinctive design aesthetic across all three homes

Site Access & Infrastructure:

Access via the existing vehicular entrance to Seann Daraich
Proposed improvements include:
- Widening of the existing hardstanding to 5.5m to allow for vehicle passing
- Enhanced visibility splays for safer site egress
- New reflective bollards and pavement markings to improve safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians using the A814 corridor

Landscaping & Environment:

Selective removal of self-seeded trees to facilitate access and development
New landscaping proposals that reflect the character of the site, incorporating the existing Yew trees and the prominent Wellingtonia, both believed to be part of the original planting scheme

This is a truly unique opportunity to create a striking and cohesive residential development in one of Argyll and Bute’s most scenic and sought-after coastal locations.

Shandon is a small lochside village in Argyll & Bute, Scotland—about 6 km northwest of Helensburgh, overlooking the Gare Loch, and around 53 km northwest of Glasgow. It began life as a 19th-century retreat for wealthy Glasgow merchants. The village is ideal for outdoor lovers—walking, sailing, and proximity to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
