- Abi smillie

An outdoor activity centre in the most stunning of lochside locations is up for sale- and it could easily make a wonderful family home.

Craigmallo­ch Lodge, situated on the shores of Loch Doon in East Ayrshire’s Dalmelling­ton, is on the market with a very appealing price tag of offers over £250,000.

The property has been run as an activity centre for the last two years with bell tent camping and outdoor activities for small groups.

But its three bedrooms, homely kitchen, and traditiona­l living area complete with high beams, stone fireplace and access to the garden, would make for a great family home.

Not to mention its spectacula­r location, being at the gateway to the Galloway Forest Park and nearby to the UK’s first Dark Sky Park, offering superb star-gazing opportunit­ies; perfect for a family day out or camping trips on your doorstep.

And it’s that wonderful outdoor lifestyle which Vivien Wright, of Galbraith who is handling the sale, says will make a fantastic opportunit­y for potential buyers.

Vivien said: “This part of Ayrshire feels a world away from the central belt, with its amazing scenery and complete tranquilli­ty but it is actually easily accessible to Ayr and Glasgow.

“The property combines facilities for groups and direct shore access.

“Craigmallo­ch Lodge offers excellent potential either as an outdoor activity centre or as a family home with a wonderful lifestyle on offer in the most picturesqu­e rural setting.”

Outside there are two toilet/shower blocks with a washing up area and a garage/store. A slipway provides access into the loch for small boats and canoes.

The property is accessible via a single track public road, with a drive leading to a gravelled parking area to the side of the property with space for multiple vehicles.

Offers over £250,000. Contact Galbraith by telephone on: 01292 268181 or email at: ayr@ galbraithg­roup.com
