Kilmichael House is one of the oldest houses on the Island of Arran, and is listed for its architectural and historic significance.
It is at the centre of an ancient estate, owned by the same family for hundreds of years: from the beginning of the 14th century through to 1950. With a 17th century core and subsequent enhancements in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the property is described in the title deeds as "the mansion house", but it is actually of a more manageable size than that description suggests.
Set in up to three acres of mature, landscaped grounds, with woodland, an arboretum and a garden sanctuary, it it much more than just another "house for sale".
