Leim Farm, a seven-bedroom coastal home on the tiny Isle of Gigha, is on the market for offers over £995,000 through Savills. The property overlooks the white sands of Leim Beach and the sea beyond, offering a peaceful retreat in a spectacular setting.
Property Features and Layout
The home is centred around a sheltered courtyard with seating areas, lawns, flower beds, a pond, and a greenhouse. A south-facing patio provides outdoor dining space, while the wider grounds offer direct access to coastal walks and Leim Beach.
Inside, a double-height circular reception hall sets the tone. The sitting area is beneath a galleried landing, and a separate snug features an open fireplace with a stone surround. An oak-panelled library includes bespoke bookcases, a gas fire, and a hidden doorway.
Kitchen and Leisure Facilities
The kitchen has custom oak cabinetry and a central island. The ground floor also includes a utility room, a family bathroom with a corner jacuzzi bath, and three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. A standout feature is the 18-foot indoor swimming pool with a counter-current system, complemented by a sauna.
First Floor and Observatory
Upstairs, the observatory offers triple-aspect views towards the sea and opens onto a decked terrace. An adjoining games room has space for a snooker table. The master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, a private south-facing balcony, and an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and walk-in dressing room. Also on this floor are another double bedroom with en-suite, a nursery, a further bedroom, and an office.
Outbuildings and Energy Efficiency
Outbuildings include a large garage and a barn/boathouse with double doors. The property features double glazing, a ground source heat pump, solar panels, wet underfloor heating, and radiators.
Property agent Iona Conn commented: "It's rare to find a home that combines such impressive accommodation with such a spectacular setting. For me, standing in the observatory and taking in the far-reaching coastal views was a real highlight of visiting Leim Farm."
