An exceptional lakeside opportunity on Royal Deeside, Loch View is a substantial freehold lodge previously run as a boutique golf and spa hotel. Presented in immaculate condition throughout, the property combines seven principal en-suite bedrooms with two self-contained two-bedroom apartments, extensive public rooms and a sweeping veranda that frames panoramic loch and woodland views. Set on about 2.5 acres with further land available, the plot offers privacy and direct lawn access down to the water’s edge (the loch itself is not included).
The building is versatile: generous ground-floor public spaces, upper-floor suites with private balconies, a games room, library and staff/ancillary accommodation provide multiple income or household-use scenarios. Ground-floor planning permission exists for a large reception, family room with dining kitchen, solarium gym and spa, two en-suite bedrooms and utility — useful groundwork for reinstating leisure use or creating a substantial private residence.
Practical benefits include full FTTP fibre (stated at 1600 Mbps) and excellent mobile signal, supporting modern hospitality or remote working. The lochside setting and proximity to Aboyne’s amenities, Royal Deeside leisure activities and Cairngorms access make this a strong seasonal or all-year-round proposition for hospitality or a grand private estate.
Important considerations: the property scale brings corresponding running and maintenance costs and a very expensive council tax band. The surrounding area is described as very deprived, which may affect staffing and local demand patterns; the site is offered as freehold but the loch is excluded. While the lodge is well presented, any buyer planning commercial hospitality will need to assess operational reinstatement and marketing to return it to hotel/spa use or adapt it for an alternative model.
