A lochside guest house on a famous Scottish tourist route has been brought to the market.
The 24-bedroom property is on the North Coast 500 road trip route and is described as being sited in a “breathtaking location”.
Agent Graham + Sibbald said the Harbour House, Garve Road, Ullapool, “nestled on the serene shores of Loch Broom”.
Graham + Sibbald said: “Set on the iconic NC500 route, the Harbour House is a prime destination for visitors seeking an exceptional combination of modern comfort and authentic Highland charm.
“The Harbour House is ideally positioned as a base for exploring Ullapool’s vibrant arts and culture scene, as well as the region’s rich outdoor activities. Guests can enjoy boat tours, kayaking, hiking, and fishing, or visit local galleries and craft shops. With its central location, the hotel is also a perfect stop for travellers heading to the North Coast 500, one of the world’s most scenic road trips.”
The agent said the property is a “beautifully designed, 24-bedroom property that captures the essence of contemporary coastal living”.
Situated in the heart of the vibrant village of Ullapool, this home enjoys “stunning panoramic views of the harbour, the loch, and the surrounding mountains”. “Every detail of this residence has been carefully crafted to blend comfort, style, and the natural environment,” the agent said.
The property offers 21 modern en-suite bedrooms and three “exceptional self-contained cabins” on the edge of the loch. The property also offers an “impressive” self-contained manager flat and a large two-bedroom owner accommodation with outstanding views over the Scottish countryside.
“The property offers a great business opportunity for the right buyer to build upon the already stellar reputation and frequent return guests,” the agent said. “It is evident the current owners have poured time and commitment into the property and as a new venture awaits, they have left behind an outstanding business.”
Peter Seymour, director of the hotel and leisure department with Graham + Sibbald, said: “We are delighted to bring to the market the Harbour House in Ullapool. Nestled on the serene shores of Loch Broom, Harbour House offers a rare opportunity to own a luxurious property in one of Scotland’s most breathtaking locations. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil Scottish hotel, a savvy investment, or a permanent residence by the sea, Harbour House combines modern elegance with the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.”
Alan Maclaurin, owner of the Harbour House, said: “Owning Harbour House is a unique opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life while investing in a thriving business with excellent returns and the potential to transition back to a hotel.
“This self-sufficient guest house features one of the most stunning owners’ accommodations you will find in this type of business. It truly offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and investment.”
Graham + Sibbald is inviting offers for the freehold interest.
Proposed retirement village on site of old dye works goes up for sale
A site in Glasgow which has planning permission to be turned into a retirement village is to go on the market for £5 million.
The former Netherplace Old Dye Works site close to Newton Mearns has been brought to market by Watling Real Estate and Graham & Sibbald with a price tag of £5 million.
It already has planning permission to be used as a residential retirement village but there are other options for the site for whoever buys it. The site is 15.27 acres and is close to the motorway, and the planning permission for it allows for a retirement residential community with a care home and a multi-purpose village centre which would all be access from a new road being built.
