A stunning coastal tower that was built by a laird during the 19th century has just come on to the property market.
Balcary Tower displays the best of the Scottish coastline as the Castle Douglas home provides incredible views of Hesten Island over the Solway Firth.
The four-bedroom property was originally built around 1860 by Colonel Johnstone, the Laird of Auchencairn House.
It is believed that it was constructed for his French governess and mistress.
The tower was extended in the 1960s and 1970s before undergoing a loving and professional refurb just eight years ago.
For a building that is now 160 years old, it comes equipped with a range of modern features and the latest in technology, including fibre broadband access.
You can easily flow through the kitchen, dining and seating areas - all of which provide amazing views of the coastline.
Another highlight is the main bathroom, where you can get a good glimpse of the Solway Firth.
The property has been decorated immaculately inside but is a home where the outdoors is the main selling point.
The tower offers direct access to the beach and even comes with its own ‘sea-filled rock swimming pool’, which fills naturally with sea water at high tide.
It also comes with a number of outbuildings - including a garage, boiler room, pellet store, boathouse, log store, two greenhouses and two garden sheds.
Galbraith, the estate agent selling the property, described Balcary Tower as: “One of the most unique and fine examples of a coastal property in Dumfries and Galloway.”
The home is currently available to buy for offers over £1,111,111.
Due to the unique nature the property, it is recommended to get a viewing in the bag early.
