SituationGlenstriven Estate occupies a magical setting on the western side of the Cowal Peninsula overlooking Loch Striven. Th e southerly and westerly views from the estate are magnifi cent and include the Islands of Bute and Cumbrae, together with the distinctive peak of Goat Fell and the mountains of Arran.

Access to the estate is via a minor public road which leads for about 15 miles from Dunoon through the villages of Innellan and Toward before terminating at the entrance to Glenstriven Estate. With no through road beyond this point, traffi c is very light and the estate notably secluded as a result.

Th e village of Innellan has a Post Offi ce, convenience store and two pub/restaurants. A wider range of services is provided in Dunoon, with a good selection of shops, professional services, a hospital with A&E and secondary school with sports and community leisure facilities. Dunoon provides two ferry links across the Clyde estuary to Gourock. Th e journey time by ferry is circa 20 minutes and ferries leave at 20-minute intervals during the day.

Th e closest airport with scheduled domestic and international fl ights is Glasgow International Airport (41 miles) which can ordinarily be reached in around 1½ hours. Gourock has a railway station which provides frequent services to Paisley (for Glasgow airport) and Glasgow city centre. Glasgow airport also has a heliport with helicopters available for charter. Th e journey time to Glenstriven by helicopter is about 15 minutes.

With its many islands, peninsulas and sea lochs, Argyll has thousands

of miles of coastline and, as such, the sea is a feature of the working life and leisure time of its inhabitants.

Th e quality of sailing off the Argyll coast and Inner Hebrides is of world renown and there are several well-established commercial marinas within close range of Glenstriven at Dunoon, Rothesay, Port Bannatyne, Inverkip and Portavadie.

In terms of land-based activities, there are golf courses at Innellan (9 holes) and Dunoon (18 holes). Further afi eld there are internationally acclaimed golf courses at Loch Lomond and on the Ayrshire coast at Royal Troon, Trump Turnberry, Prestwick, Western Gailes and Dundonald. Th e vendors are keen golfers and have, on several occasions, enjoyed day trips to the Ayrshire courses via a fi xed hull (inboard) launch. Th e journey time to Turnberry (the southernmost of the courses) is about 1½ hours in calm sea conditions.

Historical NoteTh e story and success of Barnes Wallis’ Bouncing Bomb in WWII is well documented. Th ese bombs were extremely eff ectively employed in targeting the diffi cult to destroy hydro-electric dams, as well as fl oating vessels moored in calm waters in the Norwegian Fjords.

Th e story of the testing of the boards on the waters of Loch Striven was well documented by the BBC in recent years, when successful eff orts to recover bombs from the sea bed were made.

Two sizes of bombs were used and dropped by Lancaster Bombers and Mosquito Fighters. Th e bombs were dropped at “precisely” 60 feet above the water at 232 mph with back-spin at 500 rpm.

Glenstriven Estate

There are many accounts of test runs including Chesil Beach, Dorset and the spectacular destruction of a redundant dam at Nant-y-Gro near Rhayader in Wales; however, one of the secret test sites took place on Loch Striven, where the topography of the surrounding hills at the head of the loch was similar to some of the hydro-electric sites in Germany.

All the local residents were evacuated due to the confidential nature of the tests. Only one elderly lady remained and she was resident at Glenstriven House. We have been informed that “during test flights, she was taken into a back room with closed curtains until the end of the trial”.

DescriptionGlenstriven is an exceptional quality residential, sporting and waterside estate, extending in total to about 1,041 acres. It was purchased by the current owners in the early 1980s and during the past 35 plus years has been developed and improved in many ways. Glenstriven House was comprehensively refurbished and modernised and has been maintained and run to a high standard. Each of the additional houses has also been modernised to provide very comfortable accommodation – for letting as holiday accommodation and for employees. Each of the properties has stunning views over Loch Striven, a sea loch providing wonderful access to world-class yachting.

Amongst the improvements effected by the current owners is the establishment of an exceptional pheasant shoot, which has earned the reputation as one of the best shoots in Scotland. Much of the credit for this lies with the former Head Keeper who built up the shoot

over 20 years. His determination, creativity, attention to detail and hard work have attracted international and UK-based shooting parties who return year after year to shoot the most challenging of birds. His son has now taken on the role of Head Keeper and has continued to ensure that Glenstriven provides sport of the highest quality.

The shoot was highly commended in the Purdey Awards in 2001 for Wild Game Conservation in recognition of the quality of habitat, conservation and game management employed on the estate.

In addition to the pheasant shoot, the terrain at Glenstriven provides the opportunity for red and roe deer stalking on the open hill and woodland edge. Due to the mild climate of the west coast and shelter provided by the forestry, red deer thrive and tend to grow to a larger than average size with culled stags of up to and over 20 stones being relatively common at Glenstriven.

One of the particular features of the estate is its network of vehicular access tracks. Established in conjunction with the development of the pheasant shoot, these tracks also provide excellent opportunities for walking, riding and cycling/mountain biking.

The estate pier provides direct access to the sea and some of the best sailing in the British Isles and Europe.

For the owners’ families, Glenstriven has been a most wonderful project over more than 30 years. A second home in the truest sense and the most wonderful environment in which to enjoy family holidays and entertain friends.

The components of the estate are described as follows:

Glenstriven HouseGlenstriven House was built in 1860 and is accessed by an attractive cobbled drive flanked by an avenue of lime trees and specimen conifers. Whilst the principal façade faces west towards Loch Striven, the drive leads to a gravel sweep adjoining the northern elevation as a result of which, the large portico entrance at the northern elevation to the house is the most actively used.

It should be noted that the public road terminates at the entrance to the estate.

Occupying an elevated position with westerly views over Loch Striven, the house is of stone construction which is painted beneath pitched slate roofs.

The northern façade of the house features a portico with decorative game-bird themed niches. Other features include dressed stone quoins and a circular cupola above the stairwell.

The internal accommodation is very well suited to the purposes of

entertaining house parties of guests with spacious and well-proportioned reception rooms, eight bedrooms (including four bedroom suites) and extensive utilitarian and storage space including a purpose-built wine cellar with capacity for around 500 bottles.

Features of the interior include a sweeping central staircase with decorative cast-iron spindles and wooden balustrade, decorative cornices, panelled doors with brass door furniture and traditional sash and casement windows throughout.

The services include private water supply, oil-fired central heating and propane gas cooker. The electrical, plumbing and heating systems have been comprehensively renewed during the vendors’ ownership. The services have the capacity to cater for house parties of up to 20 people on a regular basis (e.g. over 40 shooting parties occupied the house during the 2017/18 shooting season).

The layout and dimensions of the accommodation are as shown on the floor plans included in this brochure.

Gardens and GroundsGlenstriven House is surrounded by several acres of kept lawns, parkland and wooded policies, beds of herbaceous shrubs, a wide variety of hybrid rhododendrons and has strategically placed seating benches to take full advantage of the stunning views across Loch Striven.

Situated within the grounds is one of the more quirky attractions of the estate. Known as “The Glenstriven Arms”, this is the conversion of a former generator building as a small, discreet, private pub used by guests from the main house. It comprises a single room with working bar, bench and stool seating and it exudes charm and character.

Stables and OutbuildingsLying close to the north of Glenstriven on the other side of the gravel parking area is the former stable block, part of which has been converted to provide auxiliary living accommodation to complement Glenstriven House. This includes two bedroom suites, which, in combination with the main house, provide accommodation for a house party of 20 people in total.

Also within this range of buildings is a timber-panelled shoot room, fur and feather game larders (including a chiller) and the estate office.

Lying close by is a traditional stone barn with a slate roof, which is used for general storage and opposite the Stable Block is an implement shed (6.1m x 11.6m) of timber frame construction.

Lying a discreet distance from the main house and its immediate outbuildings is a general-purpose shed (16.0m x 18.3m) of steel portal frame construction with concrete block and timber-clad walls beneath a profile sheet metal roof. With a concrete floor and extensive apron on the south side to allow for it to be extended if required, this building is used for storage of machinery and equipment associated with the shoot.

Houses and Cottages

Glenstriven LodgeSituated beside the drive at the entrance to the estate, this is a delightful and deceptively spacious traditional lodge cottage which has been enlarged and modernised by the current owners.

With private water and drainage and oil-fired central heating, the house is currently occupied by two of the estate employees – the chef/estate manager and his wife, the property manager, under a Service Occupancy.

Connected to the house is a wooden and steel double car port, outside store, log shed and courtyard patio area to rear of house. There is also a set of kennels. In front of the house, garden ground runs down to a pebbly beach at the edge of the sea.

Flagstaff CottageSituated about halfway between the Lodge and Glenstriven House with access off the main drive, this is a timber-framed and clad chalet-style cottage with accommodation over three floors.

Built in the 1990s, Flagstaff Cottage sits in a prominent position with wonderful views over Loch Striven. With large windows to maximise the benefit of the panoramic views, the internal accommodation is partly open plan and laid out over three floors. A feature is a spacious balcony and deck on the first floor.

The layout and dimensions of the accommodation are shown on the floor plans and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a built-in sauna.

To the rear of the house is a spacious gravel parking area plus timber framed boat shed and wooden garden shed. The cottage is offered for let as weekly holiday accommodation.

Pier Cottage and the Old SmokehouseThis is a wonderfully located cottage with additional accommodation, ancient garden and boathouse, situated on the shore of Loch Striven beside the pier.

The cottage takes its name from the original pier that was located here for many years before being replaced by the current greenheart pier in the 1990s. Of traditional whitewashed stone beneath a pitched slate roof, the accommodation is over two storeys and includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sauna.

A short distance from the cottage is a detached former fish smoker building, which has been converted as auxiliary accommodation to complement Pier Cottage. Constructed of stone under a slate roof, the accommodation comprises a bathroom on the ground floor and a bedroom on the first floor.

Pier Cottage and the Old Smokehouse are offered for let on a weekly basis as holiday accommodation.

Invervegain Farmhouse and BuildingsConstructed of stone under a slate roof, Invervegain Farmhouse occupies a particularly majestic position on the north side of the Invervegain Burn. The southerly view down Loch Striven to Bute is one of the best of all of the houses on the estate.

Originally built as a farmhouse with adjoining steading forming a U-shaped range of buildings, the house was extensively modernised in the 1990s with part of the adjoining steading being converted as a large games room.

The accommodation is laid out over two storeys and includes two reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms in addition to the large games room.

The undeveloped elevation of this range includes two former stables providing outbuildings/general storage space. Architectural plans showing the potential developments of the outbuildings are available from the selling agents.

There is a spacious enclosed parking area and garden together with a small paddock to the rear of the outbuildings.

Available to let on a weekly basis.

Pier A notable attraction of Glenstriven is its private pier. Constructed from North American greenheart timbers, the pier extends to about 30 metres in length with a deck width

of 3 metres at the seaward end. It is designed to work in low or high tide and enables boats with a draft of up to 6 metres (20 feet) to dock.

The pier enables easy access to spectacular yachting and boating throughout the Firth of Clyde, together with mixed water sports and sea fishing in Loch Striven.

shooting experience that Glenstriven has to offer.

In addition to pheasants, there are wonderful wildfowling opportunities, good numbers of woodcock in winter months and the occasional grouse on the hill (although the current owners have elected to preserve rather than shoot them).

With a large extent of forestry and open hill ground in this part of Scotland, the Cowal Peninsula is home to significant populations of both red and roe deer. At Glenstriven, the open hill ground lying above Invervegain Glen provides the opportunity for stalking. With access to the forestry, it is customary for the deer to shelter in the forest and graze on the open hill.

Whilst formal cull records have not been kept, the Head Keeper estimates that the recent annual cull by the estate has been in the region of 10 stags and 15 hinds/calves. The estate has a deer larder and chiller and venison is collected as required by a game dealer.

Land and WoodsThe land rises from the edge of Loch Striven to the highest point at Cruach nan Capull at 2,036 feet (611m) above sea level.

Whilst there is no longer any farming activity at Glenstriven, there was a hill sheep farm on the estate for many years prior to the current owners’ purchase in the 1980s. Within the policies of the estate, there are several enclosures of former in-bye pasture and rough grazing extending in total to about 59 acres.

The woodland is a mix of native broadleaves and conifers, scattered along the shoreline, up gullies and at the sides of burns.

Having previously owned Invervegain Glen – a commercial plantation of mainly Sitka spruce and larch – this was sold by the vendors several years ago. The boundary between the properties is on the southern fringe of the forest and therefore Glenstriven includes several stands of coniferous woodland which provide both a helpful buffer between the estate and adjoining forest and are also excellent pheasant coverts.

The hill ground is divided into two parts lying on either side of the independently owned Invervegain Glen forest. Precipitous in places and exposed to the elements, the views from the hill ground throughout the south-western Highlands and islands are truly breath-taking.

Sporting Through a combination of dedicated hard work, investment, creativity and trial and error over a 30-year period, a most varied, challenging and exciting driven pheasant shoot has been established at Glenstriven.

A variety of terrain including tall conifers, birch banks and craggy cliffs help in producing pheasant drives of world-class quality.

With 12 named drives in total (shown on the sale plan within this brochure), some of the drives have Loch Striven as the backdrop and the scenery is majestic.

The variety in the presentation of birds is fantastic including high curling birds coming off crags, gliding pheasants over treetops and some extreme pheasants at such appropriately named drives as “Rio Grande” and “The Eiger”. Having worked as his assistant for many years, the current Head Keeper took over the role from his father in 2017 and has continued to improve and develop the shoot.

Whilst the owners have retained a number of days for their own enjoyment, there is a well-established letting programme with a number of loyal shooting tenants from around the UK and further afield who recognise the unique

Granted in October 2017 under the reference 17/02650/PP, further details about this application are available on line at www.argyll-bute.gov.uk.

The vendors have identified that part of the hill ground at the northern end of the estate may have potential for a future wind power development. Informal discussions with a wind energy consultant have taken place and it is the vendors’ intention to negotiate a ‘clawback’ provision within the missives of sale to enable them to share with the purchaser of this part of the estate, the financial benefit accruing from any future wind development on the estate.

OffersOffers should be submitted in Scottish legal form to the selling agents. Prospective purchasers are advised to register their interest in writing with the selling agents following inspection.

Health and SafetyGiven the potential hazards of a working estate, we ask you to be as vigilant as possible when making your inspection for your own personal safety.

Special Conditions of SaleThe purchaser of the estate shall within five working days of conclusion of missives make payment as a guarantee for due performance of a sum equal to ten per cent of the purchase price on which sum no interest will be allowed. Timeous payment of said sum shall be a material condition of

the contract. In the event that such payment is not made timeously, the sellers reserve the right to resile without further notice. The balance of the purchase price will be paid by CHAPS transfer at the date of entry and interest at five per cent above the Bank of Scotland base rate current from time to time will be charged thereon from the term of entry until payment. Consignation shall not avoid payment of the foregoing rate of interest. In the event of the purchaser failing to make payment of the balance of the said price at the date of entry, payment of the balance of the purchase price on the due date being of the essence of the contract, the sellers shall be entitled to resile from the contract. The sellers, in that event reserve the right to resell or deal otherwise with the subjects of sale as they thinks fit. Furthermore, they shall be entitled to retain in their hands the initial payment of ten per cent herein before referred to which shall be set off to account for any loss and expense occasioned to them by the purchaser’s failure and in the event of the loss and expenses being less than the amount of the said deposit the sellers shall account to the purchaser for any balance thereof remaining in their hands.

The estate will be sold subject to all rights of way, rights of access, wayleaves, servitudes, water rights, drainage and sewage rights, restrictions and burdens of whatever kind at present existing and whether contained in the Title Deeds or otherwise, and whether formally constituted or not affecting the subjects of sale.

The sellers shall be responsible for any rates, taxes and other burdens for the possession and for collection of income prior to the Date of Entry.
