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.

Lot 1 - Main house
A substantial baronial hunting lodge occupying an elevated position overlooking Loch Awe and the Ben Cruachan massif. The property includes a traditional walled garden with loch frontage and offers extensive accommodation with significant potential for refurbishment or redevelopment. Currently arranged as nine self-catering apartments plus a four-bedroom owners’ apartment, making it ideal for continuation as a hospitality business, a boutique retreat, or conversion back into a large private residence.

Lot 2 - Detached cottage
A charming detached cottage with private garden, offering flexible use as a home, rental, or holiday let.

Lot 3 - Development plots
Two attractive building plots with scope for new development (subject to consents). Excellent opportunity for a local builder or self-build project

Lot 4 - Whole site
Available as a whole: Main house, walled garden, cottage and plots. A rare chance to acquire a historic estate in one of Scotland’s most beautiful lochside settings.

Loch Awe has over 60 miles of shoreline and is the longest freshwater loch in Britain, set in some of the most outstanding scenery in the Highlands, with Glen Coe being just over an hour away. Dalmally has a thriving Primary School, modern Health Centre, Pharmacy, Post Office, Train Station and Church. Oban, to the west, is a busy town which offers a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as a very good range of bars and restaurants. Oban also has a number of primary schools, a high school, a medical centre, a modern hospital and churches of various denominations. It is known as the “Gateway to the Isles” with an attractive sea front and busy harbour from which the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries operate serving most of the inner Hebridean islands as well as two of the outer Hebridean islands. A railway station lies adjacent to the ferry terminal. The line serves Glasgow and beyond and services run on a regular basis.
