Summary - Ardbrecknish House, Ardbrecknish, Dalmally, PA33 PA33 1BH
21 bed 10 bath Detached
Historic lochside estate with nine lets, immediate income and strong redevelopment potential.
Grade B listed baronial house with strong historic character
Ardbrecknish House is a rare Scottish baronial estate on the banks of Loch Awe, presently configured as nine self-catering apartments plus a public bar, commercial kitchen and a four-bedroom owner’s apartment. The property currently sleeps around 50 guests and produces immediate income as a holiday-let operation, with clear potential to expand as a wedding venue, boutique hotel or private apartments.
The setting is a major asset: extensive mature grounds, a historic walled garden with direct loch frontage, and views towards Ben Cruachan offer strong guest appeal and activity opportunities (fishing, stalking, hiking). The house retains original period features and high ceilings that create character and authenticity attractive to premium guests.
Buyers should note important practical constraints. The building is Grade B listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate redevelopment. The estate is historic and will require ongoing maintenance and sensitive restoration to preserve character. Services include mains electricity, shared private water supply and private drainage; heating is electric with supplementary woodburner and oil-fired Rayburn—there may be upgrades needed for modern hospitality standards.
Location advantages and limits balance out: it’s 50 minutes from Oban and about 90 minutes from Glasgow Airport, useful for visitor access, but the property sits in a remote, very deprived area which may affect staffing and local services. Additional lots (a detached cottage and development plots) are available separately, offering further development or income opportunities.
