Portfolio at Ardbrecknish House

Exciting opportunity to acquire a magnificent Scottish baronial-style property overlooking Loch Awe, set within mature grounds extending to approximately 6.5 acres. Set in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands, and nestled on the serene banks of Loch Awe, this historic 18th-century property offers a blend of character, charm, and investment potential. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Ardbrecknish House has been a cherished destination, drawn by its peaceful setting and rich heritage. The property offers buyers an opportunity to acquire a substantial self-catering/bed and breakfast facility, currently sub-divided to form a series of individual self-contained flats. This impressive property also boasts public house, commercial kitchen and function room at ground floor level. The property has potential for various uses, such as a private residence, boutique hotel, private apartments, wedding venue or wellness retreat, all subject to relevant consents. Listed as Grade B on the Historic Environment Scotland register, it is thought that the original part of the building was constructed as early as the 1400’s, extended sympathetically through the years with the majority of the current layout constructed during the 1800’s. A walled garden is included in the sale, located on the banks of the loch, offering scope for development, subject to the necessary planning consents. The property is being offered as individual lots or collectively as a whole.
