Nestled on the serene banks of Loch Awe, in the heart of the breathtaking Scottish Highlands, this historic 18th-century property offers an unparalleled blend of charm, opportunity, and investment potential. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, it has been a cherished destination for international travelers and staycationers alike, drawn by its peaceful setting and rich heritage.
Situated within Ardbrecknish, a popular settlement located on the banks of Loch Awe, Ardbrecknish House 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.
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.
With a proven track record as a successful self-catering accommodation, the property has a spacious, well-appointed owner’s apartment, providing comfort and privacy amidst the thriving hospitality business. Guests return year after year to experience the tranquility, explore the Highlands, and immerse themselves in Scotland’s natural and cultural offerings.
This estate is more than a retreat—it's a rare development opportunity. Planning permission is in place for six exclusive plots, making this an ideal site for high-end holiday homes or private residences. In addition, the property’s walled garden offers coveted loch frontage enhancing the charm of the estate.
For those with a vision for redevelopment, the main building itself offers the potential to be converted from 10 self catering apartments into individual private residences, combining history and modernity in a highly sought-after location. Imagine restoring this magnificent building to its former glory, with luxurious apartments that capture the essence of Highland living, all while capitalizing on the area's growing popularity with discerning visitors.
Ardbrecknish House is located in a rural position and offers far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with open water views across Loch Awe. 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 complete with furniture, fixtures and fittings, ideal for those looking to step in and offer holiday let accommodation. For the avoidance of doubt, no business element is included in the sale and the property is being offered on a freehold basis.
An area of land to the east of the main house has been earmarked for the development of six, detached residential properties, with an option for four plots more being considered. An opportunity exists to acquire this additional land, subject to separate negotiation. Further details are available from the sole selling agent.
This 18th-century gem on Loch Awe is more than a property; it’s a gateway to Scotland’s heritage, a thriving business, and an exceptional investment opportunity with endless potential for the future.
