Blackwater Cottage is located in a stunning rural setting within an easily accessible area of Dumfries & Galloway. Situated just 5 miles North of St John’s town of Dalry and about 20 miles from Castle Douglas in the Stewartry area of Dumfries & Galloway or indeed travelling further north with Ayr on 31 miles distant. Blackwater Cottage has enormous charm with great potential for either small scale agricultural or equestrian purposes or indeed a fantastic holiday home. The property is ideally situated for those seeking a rural lifestyle, yet within reasonable reach of major commuting links.

This detached 200-year-old stone cottage, has lovely views from every window sitting in a superb, elevated position amongst the hills, valleys and lochs of Galloway. In recent months the cottage has benefitted from new glazing units, air sourced heat pump and solar panels. The property is neutrally decorated throughout with the sitting room benefitting from a wood-burning stove. The large well-maintained garden has a hardstanding area, which provides plenty of off-road parking with an area set aside for outdoor entertaining. From the northern boundary of the property there is a core path (The Southern Upland Way), signed Butterhole Bridge, which guides you by a picturesque fast flowing river with waterfalls and pools. Given to the location, there is huge potential for tourism purposes, i.e. glamping pods.

This charming dwelling benefits about 3.378 acres of grazing land, which surround the property and has direct gated access from the garden grounds. The land does require some attention, however with a good land management program this could be greatly improved and utilised for a variety of uses.
