A portfolio of "luxury" holiday chalets has been brought to market.

The chalet park is near a famous Scottish festival site and is being sold as the owners retire after three decades.

Agent Bell Ingram said that "a rare opportunity has emerged in the Scottish Highlands as a portfolio of four luxury holiday chalets in Ardendrain, near Kiltarlity".

The established holiday business offers "significant growth potential in a thriving tourism market".

The chalet park, situated five miles from Beauly and 11 miles from Inverness, "is positioned to capitalise on the increasing popularity of UK staycations".

The location "offers stunning views and proximity to popular tourist attractions, making it a sought-after destination for holidaymakers". It is also not far from the Belladrum Festival site.

The chalets, each featuring three bedrooms, have recently undergone extensive upgrades to provide "modern, stylish" accommodation.

"With three decades of successful operation under the same family ownership, the park has built a strong reputation, evidenced by a high rate of returning visitors," the agent said.

The existing business generates "reliable income, and with Planning Permission already secured for the addition of two more chalets, there is clear potential for expansion and increased revenue".

Joanne Stennett, the estate agent handling the sale, said: "This is an exceptional opportunity for investors looking to acquire a lifestyle business in one of Scotland's most beautiful locations.

"With the current trend towards domestic travel, this property offers a secure investment with room for growth. The retiring owners are prepared to provide detailed financial records to serious buyers."

Bell Ingram said the property is priced at offers over £500,000.
