Ardlui Retreat is a rare, fully redeveloped waterfront estate on the northern shore of Loch Lomond. The freehold site extends to 12,800 sq ft of accommodation with about 180 metres of private loch frontage, direct water access and private jetties — a ready-made leisure holding for a high-end holiday operation or exclusive private retreat.
The property comprises a newly renovated five-bedroom main house plus eight luxury lodges, a reception and managers lodge, gym, wellness spa, BBQ hut, boat and jet-ski facilities, and operational buildings. Interiors were completed by a recognised hospitality design studio, and external leisure provision includes a timber pool deck and heated pool — all presented to modern, high-specification standards.
This is a business-scale asset: it offers immediate trading potential from holiday lets, events or private hire, with Glasgow and its international airport within roughly 60 minutes by road. Practical considerations include significant ongoing running costs, staffing and management needs, and likely planning and conservation controls given the waterside location and national park setting. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect some guests and operations.
For an investor or operator the retreat presents strong value drivers — extensive waterfront, multiple income-generating units, high-spec fit-out and immediate market appeal in a popular tourism corridor. For a private buyer it offers a rare large-scale leisure residence but will still require professional management and higher-than-average maintenance. Legal and business due diligence is advised, including confirmation of business rates, planning consents and service arrangements.
