Description

An incredible opportunity on the banks of Loch Rannoch.

Existing incomplete property with PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED for redevelopment into an impressive 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Highland home, together with an additional parcel of approximately 930 sqm of land.

This is something truly special.

Property and land opportunity at Bridge of Gaur, on the western side of magnificent Loch Rannoch in rural Perthshire.

For anyone who knows Loch Rannoch, the location needs very little introduction.

This is one of Scotland's great Highland settings - a spectacular landscape of mountains, forests, open skies and the waters of Loch Rannoch, stretching west towards the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor.

Rannoch House is currently incomplete and requires redevelopment, but importantly PLANNING PERMISSION HAS BEEN GRANTED under application reference 26/00597/FLL for the erection of a dwellinghouse.

The approved proposal creates an impressive three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, providing the successful purchaser with the opportunity to transform the existing property into a substantial contemporary Highland residence.

Rather than acquiring bare land and beginning the planning process from scratch, the purchaser has an existing structure, an established site and planning permission already secured for the centrepiece of the project.

The inclusion of the additional circa 930 sqm parcel of land makes the overall proposition considerably more interesting as the land itself offers potential for further development. (subject to planning).

It provides the successful purchaser with a much larger overall holding and the freedom to investigate a variety of possibilities for the additional ground, subject entirely to the necessary permissions, licences and consents.

Taken together, the property and land create an exciting proposition for purchasers looking for lifestyle, development and potential income.

The approved three-bedroom, three-bathroom configuration of Rannoch House could be particularly well suited to the Highland holiday market.

A high-quality finished property in this setting could potentially operate as an income-generating holiday home, premium short-term rental or luxury Highland getaway, subject to all necessary licences and consents.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom layout provides flexibility for families, groups and couples travelling together, while the setting offers precisely the type of experience many visitors to Scotland are seeking - mountains, water, wilderness and outdoor adventure on the doorstep.

Massive short-term rental potential.
With potential peak-season rates in excess of £500 per night and potential annual income of up to £100,000 for a well-presented, well-managed and successfully operated holiday property.

These figures are illustrative projections rather than guaranteed income, and purchasers considering commercial use should undertake their own assessment of achievable occupancy, rates, operating costs, licensing and taxation.

The additional land adds another dimension.

Purchasers may wish to investigate its potential for recreation, tourism, camping, glamping or other complementary income-generating uses, or potentially longer-term development, subject in every case to obtaining the necessary planning permission and other consents.

Alternatively, retain it simply as additional private ground alongside what could become a magnificent Highland home.

Live here. Escape here. Generate an income from it. Or create a combination of all three.

Loch Rannoch and the surrounding countryside offer exceptional opportunities for walking, Munro climbing, cycling, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, wild swimming, photography and wildlife watching.

Bridge of Gaur occupies a wonderful position towards the western end of Loch Rannoch, with the extraordinary landscapes of Rannoch Moor beyond and famous Rannoch Station providing access to the West Highland Line.

Despite the sense of wilderness and escape, the wider area remains accessible to destinations throughout Highland Perthshire.

This combination of accessibility and genuine Highland seclusion is precisely what gives the area such appeal to permanent residents, second-home owners and visitors alike.

For a purchaser looking for a permanent residence, this is an opportunity to create an extraordinary family home.

For someone searching for a Scottish escape, it could become an incredible second home.

For an investor or holiday accommodation operator, the combination of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, additional land and the Loch Rannoch setting creates an exciting proposition worthy of serious investigation.

And for someone who simply wants to own something special in one of Scotland's most beautiful places, it is difficult to imagine a more spectacular blank canvas.

An incomplete house can be transformed. Additional land creates possibilities. A location like this cannot be recreated.

Any reference to potential holiday accommodation, tourism, camping, glamping, short-term letting or other income-generating use is subject to all necessary planning permissions, licences and consents. No warranty is given regarding achievable rental rates, occupancy or income and purchasers should undertake their own commercial due diligence.
