This is a substantial, partially developed holiday lodge site set on a sloping, wooded hillside about 3.5 miles west of Loch Ness. The estate comprises 23 bespoke lodge units in varying stages of completion; none are currently habitable. One lodge already has residential/manager’s accommodation consent, while the remaining units have permission for 365‑day holiday use, offering operational flexibility.
Significant infrastructure is already in place: a 3‑phase electrical supply (160 kVA) and a drilled borehole provide power and a natural water source. The lodges feature contemporary external cladding and vaulted internal ceilings, and the setting offers elevated rural views and strong appeal to higher‑spend holiday guests once finished. There is potential to expand the site further subject to planning (STPP).
Buyers should note material shortfalls: many lodges are only to plaster or stud wall stage, with incomplete carpentry and first‑fix electrical work; none are currently habitable. Site landscaping, roadways, private gardens and final services remain unfinished. Utilities are offered without warranties — purchasers must verify connections and capacities independently. Broadband is very slow and the local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect staffing and local services.
The site suits developers, experienced holiday‑park operators or investors willing to complete construction and manage on‑site operations. With finishing investment and correct marketing, the premium lodge designs and proximity to Loch Ness could attract a lucrative holiday market. However, plan for significant capex, completion time and due diligence on planning and utilities before committing.
