The former Kirroughtree House Hotel in Newton Stewart has hit the market with an asking price of £695,000.
The 17th Century property is set within eight acres of private grounds, and previously operated as a 17-bedroom country house hotel, wedding and spiritual centre.
The building was the family seat of the Heron Family from the 15th to 19th Centuries.
The hotel has been under the current ownership since 2012, and is now being sold due to retirement. The property is available with vacant possession and offers various opportunities for development, including reopening as a hotel with new investment or being converted to self-catered apartments or other uses.
Tony Spence, associate director at Christie and co, who is handling the sale, said: “This building presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to create a destination in the south of Scotland. The tourism market in the south of Scotland continues to grow and has been boosted further by the ‘staycation’ holiday maker, while the traditional charm and character throughout the property and private grounds may also be of interest to wedding venue operators.
“Due to the outdoor space and surrounding woodland, the property may also be of interest to outdoor activity companies, catering for groups or school hires. The possibilities with a building as flexible in purpose as this are substantial and varied, and the surrounding land has many development opportunities too, with the adjacent lodge park being a potential source of customers.”
