With Dumfries & Galloway currently one of the hottest trending regions for tourism in Scotland, there are now plenty of reasons to explore this beautiful part of the country.
And should you be looking to escape here, there might just be an ideal opportunity in the Owl Cote & The Bird's Nest, a beautiful property that's just gone on sale close to the shore of Carrick Bay - a hidden gem beach on Scotland's idyllic southern coast.
On the market for offers of over £680,000, the site comes with two exciting properties, which could be used as a family home or even as a holiday let for those looking for an exciting business opportunity.
Located around 5 miles from Gatehouse of Fleet, Carrick Shore is a picturesque sandy beach with safe swimming and is suitable for sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. The nearby village of Gatehouse of Fleet and larger towns of Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas offer plenty of amenities.
Speaking about Owl Cote, Estate Agents Galbraith said: "Owl Cote is a wonderful stone cottage created from a former byre, completely renovated in 2011. On the first floor, there is a 10’ balcony with glass balustrading leading from the airy sitting room from which to enjoy stunning views of Carrick Bay."
The cosy three-bedroom cottage also comes with a detached annexe suite, the Birds Nest.
The Galbraith team added: "The Bird’s Nest is a cosy annexe retreat featuring open plan living and bedroom area with an en suite bathroom. It has wall-mounted radiators and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. A small stove lends a cosy touch for colder nights.
"Both house and annexe are currently run as holiday lets, offering amazing breaks away from the stresses and strains of life. The surroundings are wonderfully restorative and whether kept for private use or let out, Owl Cote and The Bird’s Nest offer the buyer a rare chance to acquire a lifestyle envied by many."
