Location

Cashel Farmhouse lies within the heart of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, on the east side of Loch Lomond itself, between the village of Drymen to the south and Ben Lomond to the north. The property is accessed directly off a “C” classified public road, which runs north from the village of Balmaha, along the eastern shores of Loch Lomond to Rowardennan (approximately four miles north of the property), where the public road terminates.

Balmaha benefits a number of tourist facilities, with nearest small‐town services available in Drymen, approximately seven miles south of the house. Larger town services are available in a number of towns to the south and east with Glasgow City Centre being approximately twenty-six miles.

History

Cashel Farmhouse was formerly part of Cashel Forest Estate managed by the Cashel Forest Trust principally as a native forest with public access encouraged, along with forestry education activities. Extensive areas of the open hill are managed for peatland restoration.

Cashel Forest Trust has crafted a network of walking paths, some of which are wheelchair compatible, showcasing the finest features of the Estate. These paths wind through captivating landscapes, past the UK’s largest wild crab tree, and offering breathtaking views over Loch Lomond, its islands and surrounding hills. Cashel Farmhouse would benefit from these managed paths which lie on the doorstep of the property.

Description

Cashel Farmhouse – 1.39 Hectares / 3.43 Acres

Cashel Farmhouse is a highly attractive and versatile property, comprising a traditional four-bedroom farmhouse, a range of charming courtyard steadings including a visitor centre, a Dutch barn, and an adjoining field—all set in a prime location near the eastern shore of Loch Lomond.

To the front of the farmhouse, there is ample private car parking, complemented by mature garden shrubbery that enhances both privacy and shelter. A grass field is directly in front of the property and included in the sale.

The property boasts an extensive collection of traditional stone-and-slate outbuildings, along with various storage sheds, offering significant potential for redevelopment. The central courtyard, currently used for machinery storage, is a flexible space that could easily support a variety of commercial or creative ventures.

Adjacent to the main house is a sympathetically converted outbuilding, now operating as a fully functional visitor centre. This facility currently welcomes the public and serves as a hub for educational programs, exhibitions, meetings, local conferences, and community events.

The four-bedroom farmhouse of two and a half storey height extends to 218 square meters. The property now requires modernisation and offers an excellent opportunity for the buyer to refurbish it according to their own taste and requirements.
