Half Mark is an exceptional bespoke residence extending to almost 3,800 sq ft, combining a striking fusion of historic accents and contemporary architecture with outstanding craftsmanship and high-quality finishes. Thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and make the most of its superb rural setting near the hamlet of Buchanan Smithy, it offers beautifully appointed accommodation with panoramic views across Loch Lomond.
A welcoming reception hall creates an immediate sense of light and space, featuring seamless Scottish Clashach sandstone flooring that continues onto the covered veranda, a handcrafted solid oak staircase, a galleried landing and a rooflight overhead. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan deVOL kitchen and dining room, providing an excellent space for everyday living and entertaining. Adjoining the dining area is a snug/cinema room, while a utility and pantry lead through to a boot room with a shower room and access to the integral double garage. A dedicated study provides an ideal space for home working, while the elegant drawing room, with its large bay window, and the comfortable sitting room both open directly onto the garden via the veranda. The ground floor is completed by a double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a separate WC.
The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, including the principal suite with panoramic views towards Loch Lomond, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by two well-appointed family bathrooms.
The beautifully landscaped grounds are a particular feature of the property. A sweeping gravel driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the integral double garage and substantial utility wing. The gardens have been meticulously designed and maintained, featuring expansive lawns, colourful herbaceous borders and a tranquil natural swimming pond created by Splash Gordon. A full-sized private tennis court further enhances the leisure facilities, while a wraparound covered veranda provides an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining and enjoying panoramic views of the National Park and overlooking Loch Lomond itself.
Contributing to its high B Energy Performance Certification the home incorporates a discreet solar panel system with battery storage for improved energy efficiency. Especially useful in conjunction with the fitted EV charging point. The dedicated workshop/storeroom houses a biomass heating system with a high-performance HDG boiler, allowing for sustainability and long-term efficiency.
