West homes Callander is proud to present The Chalet and Dunard House, a rare and highly versatile opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic Lochside positions within Scotland’s central belt, while also offering excellent potential for income generation through holiday letting.
Constructed in the 1960s from block and slate, Dunard House has been meticulously renovated over the years and now provides beautifully appointed five-bedroom accommodation, with the added benefit of convenient lateral living. The principal home is centred around a magnificent sitting room with adjoining dining area, both of which enjoy breathtaking panoramic views across Loch Ard.
The flexible layout also incorporates a self-contained unit with its own kitchen and living room, creating exceptional versatility. The property can comfortably function either as one substantial private residence or as a four-bedroom holiday let with separate one-bedroom manager’s accommodation.
Recently completed high-quality improvements ensure the property is presented in true walk-in condition, enhanced by modern efficiencies including double glazing, underfloor heating, and an impressive range of integrated kitchen appliances — perfectly suited to modern family living.
The bedrooms are all generously proportioned, while the exceptional principal bedroom is a particular highlight, featuring double doors opening onto a spectacular, spacious terrace overlooking the loch.
Loch Ard is widely regarded as one of the most sought-after locations in the central belt, celebrated for its stunning scenery and excellent accessibility to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The loch itself benefits from restrictions on permitted activities, preserving its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Surrounding the home are beautiful areas of wildflower lawn, intersected by a charming burn flowing gently towards the lochside.
