Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire three detached cottages, located in the fringe of the coastal village of Dervaig on the Isle of Mull, situated within grounds extending to 1.5 acres
Nestled on the picturesque fringe of the charming coastal village of Dervaig, Glen Houses presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established holiday letting business on the ever-popular Isle of Mull.
Set within approximately 1.5 acres, the listing comprises three detached timber-built cottages, thoughtfully positioned to capture the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Each cottage is elevated to make the most of the natural outlook and designed with comfort and practicality in mind. The accommodation in each unit typically includes:
• A welcoming family living area
• A well-equipped kitchen
• Bathroom and hallway
• Two bedrooms, ideal for families or small groups
While individual specifications of the three properties vary slightly, the core design principles remain consistent, ensuring a harmonious aesthetic across the site. The cottages are currently configured as an owners’ cottage and two letting cottages.
Access to Glen Houses is via a shared driveway leading from the island’s single-track road. A centralized parking area provides ample space for multiple vehicles, catering to guests and residents alike.
Adding further appeal, the site includes a development plot with planning permission in principle for a single residential dwelling—offering scope for expansion or the creation of a bespoke home.
Each property benefits from its own council tax registration, and all share a communal septic tank system.
The location enjoys enduring popularity among holidaymakers seeking a tranquil escape to this popular Scottish island.
Glen Houses are located on the fringe of the popular coastal village of Dervaig, to the north of the Isle of Mull. The village supports a church, village hall, a local pub and a well-respected primary school. Secondary education is undertaken at Tobermory. Everyday requirements can also be found in Tobermory approximately 8 miles by car or bus. Dervaig has a traditional village store, located within the heart of this close-knit community.
The property is a short drive from Calgary Bay, one of the island’s most popular and picturesque destinations. The local area is extremely popular with those looking to enjoy the many outdoor activities on offer, and the area is also popular with those keen on wildlife.
The Isle of Mull well connected to Oban by a regular ferry service. Oban is a vibrant port town with an attractive sea front and busy harbour.
Specifications for the properties include mains electricity, mains water and shared private drainage.
From the ferry terminal in Craignure, take the A849 north, signposted towards Tobermory. Continue through the village of Salen for 2.5 miles to Aros Bridge. Adjacent to the bridge, take the left turn and follow the glen road for approximately 11 miles towards the village of Dervaig.
Glen houses are located on the right-hand side, clearly market by a sign. Follow the driveway into the parking area. The three cottages are located to the top of the site.
