Ardlui Resort on Loch Lomond brought to market for £8m

Ardlui Retreat, a three-acre luxury estate on the banks of Loch Lomond’s northern shore, has been placed on the market for offers in excess of £8m. 

The property includes a five-bedroom main house with infinity pool, eight luxury lodges and 180 metres of loch frontage. 

Originally built as a hunting lodge for the Colquhoun family in the mid-19th Century, the estate was eventually converted into a hotel and leisure park. It was last acquired in 2016 and redeveloped as a high-end retreat. 

Facilities include a manager’s lodge, gym, reception building, laundry services and communal barbecue area. A residential caravan used for staff, storage space, boat and jet-ski jetties, and a woodland site with planning permission are also part of the sale.

Ardlui Retreat sits alongside the family-owned Ardlui Resort holiday park, which was also recently listed for sale.

William Rankine, partner at Knight Frank Glasgow, who is handling the sale, said: “Ardlui Retreat is a rare opportunity to acquire a luxury estate in the heart of Loch Lomond. It currently operates as an exclusive short-lets business, but there is the option to expand or reconfigure the site so that it could equally be used as a private family compound for several generations or be developed as a wellness, hospitality, or event destination.”

John Rae, head of office at Knight Frank Glasgow, added: “This is one of the most remarkable lifestyle investment opportunities in Scotland and we expect there to be a great deal of interest from a range of potential buyers. It is the first in a series of sales we have coming up across the leisure, experience, and luxury sectors with our growing expertise in these types of assets.”
