Sanachan Bunkhouse is a turn-key, freehold hostel on the NC500, offered as a sale of assets and goodwill. The business combines a character 1880s stone house with a newly built timber bunkhouse, recently signed off by building control and extending capacity to 16 beds. The property trades as budget accommodation and benefits from strong seasonal passing trade on the popular tourist route.
The site includes private single-bedroom owner’s accommodation with office/living space, off-street parking and roughly 0.5 acres of grounds offering scope for expanded parking, extra units or activity-based income streams such as bike or canoe hire. Heating is mixed: the new building uses an air-source heat pump while the original house is heated by an LPG boiler.
Practical points for a buyer: the new timber building has a completion certificate pending submission and has not yet been operated commercially, offering immediate upside when brought into use. The older stone house is single glazed and heated by LPG, and broadband speeds are slow — factors to weigh if targeting guests who expect strong connectivity or higher comfort levels.
This is a rare opportunity for an investor or operator to acquire an established, profitable hostel in a prime west-coast Highlands setting. With modest investment in marketing, parking and connectivity, the business can scale quickly during the tourist season and diversify revenue through equipment hire, guided tours or further bed expansion.
