The gWest golf resort in Blackford, Perth and Kinross, has been put up for sale.
The resort, which is located next to Gleneagles golf club, extends to around 639 acres and includes an 18-hole, David McLay Kidd-designed championship golf course and clubhouse shell, inspired by 18th century Scottish architect Colen Campbell.
The golf course, which has planning consent for up to 170 residential plots, a hotel and spa, leisure and entertainment facilities, and staff accommodation, was originally completed in 2009, but very few people have had the opportunity to play it.
Euan Kelly, partner at Knight Frank Edinburgh, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “It is incredibly rare that an opportunity like gWest becomes available. We’re expecting a huge amount of interest from across the globe in what could be a once-in-a-lifetime asset: a substantial consented resort development site, with a golf course designed by a celebrated architect, in one of Scotland’s most prestigious leisure locations.
“While the bold ambitions for the site have yet to fully come to fruition, a sale could see them take an important step forward and add another destination to Scotland’s, and Perthshire’s, strong tourist offering.”
