Outside are custom-built stables with three insulated loose boxes and a hay store, and a heated tack and feed-prep room, as well as an old boathouse.
He gardens are laid mainly to lawn and feature a number of colourful shrubs, and an equine turn-out area just before the stables. There are about 16 acres of rough grazing and 34 acres of mature woodland with broad leafs at the fringes. Directly in front of the house is a pretty lochan which holds brown trout.
Luachrach is just two miles from the West Highland town of Oban, which is a gateway to the Western Isles and has a good range of shops and services and the closest golf course is just a few hundred yards.
