About
Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present this magnificent, five bedroom detached villa set amidst approximately 3.3 acres of mature woodland and enjoying an enviable elevated position overlooking Gare Loch and the Firth of Clyde.
‘Tigh Geal’ is an exceptional architect-designed residence that represents one of the finest examples of late twentieth-century modernist architecture in the area.
Designed by Fred Walker, built circa 1976 and named after the Gaelic for "White House", this remarkable home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its spectacular setting.
Expansive glazing, dramatic split-level interiors and beautifully proportioned living spaces create an effortless connection between the house, its landscaped grounds and the panoramic views beyond.
Natural light floods the principal rooms throughout the day, while a series of terraces and outdoor spaces provide the perfect setting for both entertaining and quiet relaxation.
Extending to over 5,500 sq ft, the accommodation offers an impressive balance of architectural character and practical family living.
Having remained in the same ownership since 1986, Tigh Geal has been meticulously cared for, preserving its distinctive design while providing a home of exceptional comfort and quality.
The grounds include mature woodland, generous gardens, a private tennis court and a high degree of seclusion, creating a truly special lifestyle opportunity.
To fully appreciate the scale, layout and unique qualities of this exceptional property, we encourage interested purchasers to contact us for further information, detailed floor plans and to arrange a private viewing.
We would be delighted to guide you through everything Tigh Geal has to offer.
Nestled on the eastern shores of Gare Loch, Rhu is one of the West of Scotland's most desirable coastal villages, combining spectacular scenery, a strong sense of community and excellent accessibility.
Originally favoured by wealthy Glasgow merchants and shipowners, the village retains its elegant character with attractive period homes, mature woodland and stunning waterfront views.
Residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle surrounded by nature, with coastal walks, sailing, paddleboarding and wildlife all on the doorstep.
The sheltered waters of Gare Loch make Rhu a renowned destination for boating enthusiasts, with the prestigious Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club and Rhu Marina serving as the heart of the local sailing community.
The loch is also home to seals, porpoises and a variety of birdlife, making it a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors. Despite its peaceful setting, Rhu is exceptionally well connected.
The neighbouring town of Helensburgh, just a few minutes away, offers a wide range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, while Glasgow city centre can be reached in around 45 minutes by road or rail, making it an ideal location for commuters.
Families are particularly drawn to the area thanks to its excellent community atmosphere and well-regarded local schooling.
Rhu Primary School sits at the heart of the village and enjoys close links with the local community, with secondary education available nearby in Helensburgh. EPC Rating: E
