Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty - designated as a National Scenic Area in Scotland - High Dougarie Farmhouse sits in an elevated position above Dougarie shore, on the west coast of the Isle of Arran. This is a truly rural location with breathtaking views over the Kilbrannan Sound to the Mull of Kintyre and beyond. Perfect for peace and quiet and a great place to get away from it all. - A walkers heaven, there are miles of paths to follow, mountains to scale (Goat Fell being the highest at 2866 feet) with a great range of flaura, fauna and wildlife to be taken in en route - amongst other things the unique Arran whitebeam (Sorbus arranensis), fascinating birdlife and red deer seen in their natural habitat.
- Also a golfers paradise - there are two courses within easy reach, a nine hole course just two miles away along the shore and a rare and challenging twelve hole links course within ten minutes drive, as well as five other courses around the island.
- Tennis, squash and swimming are all available nearby, as well as pony trekking. The outdoor activity centre at Balmichael is again within easy reach, where there is a golf driving range, quad centre, indoor laser shooting and archery and adventure playground to pick just a few of the many things on offer.
- So, there is no shortage of things to do to keep both children and adults entertained but, of course, equally one can just enjoy the tranquillity, beauty and peace and simply relax.
- Trout and salmon fishing may be available by separate negotiation with the Estate Office.
- Local shops are roughly four miles away in both directions and the main town centre, where the ferry arrives, is only ten miles away where there are a plenty of shops and a large supermarket.
