Off the east coast of the estate, and situated in the bay which faces the settlements of Craighouse and Keils, are four small islands, the English names of which are Flat Island, Rabbit Island, Little Rabbit Island and Goat Island. There are no manmade structures or development of the islands. One of the interesting features of the sale is that there it includes seven uninhabited islands: “Each of these is uninhabited with the exception of Castle Island, south of Ardfin Farm, which includes the ruined remains of Claig Castle – a one time stronghold of Clan MacDonald.

The PDF brochure shows some nice interior images of Jura House including floorplans and some really nice images. The nice thing about a sale is that you get a good overview of the estate including detailed information of Jura House and the other outbuildings which is otherwise not so easy to get. Occupying the majority of the southern part of the island, and rising to an elevation of over 1,500 feet above sea level, the views from most parts of the estate to nearby Islay, the Mull of Kintyre and (on a clear day) Northern Ireland are one of its outstanding features.”
With a predominantly southerly aspect, over 10 miles of coastline and a climate that is cushioned by the Gulf Stream, Ardfin extends to about 11,595 acres and is an estate which is described by the inhabitants of Jura as the most significant on the island. Ardfin Estate is a residential, agricultural and sporting estate with a principal house with magnificent gardens and superb location at its core, a range of habitable houses and cottages, an extensive set of traditional outbuildings, modern farm buildings, an in-hand stock farm, and exciting sport including red deer stalking, low ground game shooting and sea fishing. Let me quote a couple of paragraphs from the website: “The Jewel of Jura – an outstanding sporting estate including Jura House and its internationally-renowned gardens, several houses and cottages, prolific red deer stalking, with 10 miles of coastline and 7 private islands.
If you can spare the money you get one of the most beautiful estates in Scotland, in a superb location, including beautiful gardens, Jura House, a stunning coastline, farms, cottages and stalking.
