Oban, the principal tourist town of Argyll and the unofficial capital of the West Highlands, supports a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure and recreational facilities and professional services. There are primary schools, a high school, a leisure/sports centre and a general hospital as well as churches of various denominations. The thriving town has an attractive sea front and bustling harbour from which Caledonian MacBrayne ferries serve many of the Hebridean Islands. There are also good transport links to the central belt of Scotland by road and rail.
The community of Kilmore is situated just a short drive away, some 4 miles or so south of Oban, just off the A816 Oban to Lochgilphead road, in a delightful rural area of great beauty and tranquility. There is a good bus service in operation which also provides transport for primary and high school children to the schools in Oban.
Tigh na Sith is situated on the fringe of the development known as Barran, and from its elevated position enjoys far reaching views over the surrounding countryside, together with an excellent degree of privacy.

The four bedrooms all have built-in storage, whilst the principal room has an en-suite. A utility room and family bathroom complete the accommodation, whilst the integral garage provides a useful space. Externally the property is surrounded by a well maintained established garden, which all adds to the appeal of this fine executive home.
