Coastal Magnificence: Saltwater Chronicles with private sea view deck.

Compose your greatest odes to the sea while luxuriating in this ocean-view expansive lodge. Saltwater Chronicles, Dunskey's Estate most ambitious project and crown jewel, features three bedrooms, three ensuite bathrooms with full soaking tub and rainshower. Perched atop the Estate's fairy glen, where bluebells cloak the ground like scented eiderdown, and the Scottish cragged coastline soars into the wide open skies, this maximalist lodge may awaken you to your own soulful chronicles.

Begin the journey via a secluded and private tree-lined path to the edge of the beach, whereupon an acre of enclosed wild garden and woodland will greet you. Manicured lawn and matured woodland are all yours to freewheel, including a handwoven hammock under the shade of beech trees. The piece de resistance is the spectacular and lighted private dock that nestles into the hillside, casting a magnificent view of the wild sea, endless sunsets, and the forever green rolling hills of Southwestern Scotland.

Two secluded beaches are steps away from this lodge. Port Mora, or Sandeel Bay, features a tranquil cove with sandy beach and a murmuring waterfall. At low tide, venture far out on the sand and discover wondrous aquatic life, including urchins, eels, starfish and playful octopus. On the other side, Port Kale provides two sheltered pebble beaches and small rock formations, where hours can be spent playing house, stone-skipping, clambering and collecting seaglass. Our resident seal, whose full name is Tidal Serge the Dunskey Seal of Approval, bobs about in the bay awaiting your admiration. When the tide is out, be sure to wade to the rocks and harvest pepperdulse seaweed, which tastes like oceanic truffles!

Inside the lodge you'll find the large living room with our personal collection of art that has taken a decade to collect and curate. Italianate leather curve sofa, blush pink velvet loveseat, and a vintage rocking chair will make it challenging to find a favorite seat. The modern kitchen is incredibly well-equipped, with a sustainable and particle-free cooking on the induction hob. We have here blond wide-plank oak floorboards with radiant heating underfoot. Taken together with bay windows of magnificent views of the coast, it may be tempting to snuggle up inside all the livelong days.

The first bedroom showcases shades of pale corals and resplendence, bringing that wild Scottish golden-hour lights indoor. Handmade artisan Gustavian bed, dressing tables, and a wondrous mural of the tree of life brings forth a splendorous retreat. The second bedroom is the color of the sea, with pops of colors from accented birds in both a water-haven mural and artwork. Two Italian canopy beds are in the third bedroom, with gleaming turquoise accent colors and murals in a pink-hue background. All of our bedrooms feature finest mattresses, crisp high thread count linens, and luxuriously soft bedding. Each bathroom features rain shower, soaking tub, and heated towel rails.

The cobblestone courtyard includes a corner outdoor bathtub where you can take in that glass of champagne alongside your favorite novel, while the sun slips into the sea. The BBQ grill is at the ready alongside reclaimed wood dining tables and chairs. Most days, we promise you'll have curious visitors, from soft-footed prancing deer to chattering sea birds and tottering hedgehogs.
