A derelict former mansion house in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park has been put up for sale with a price tag of £850,000+.
The six-hectare Pirniehall site, which is located near Croftamie in Stirlingshire, has planning permission for redevelopment into residential and holiday uses.
Permission has already been granted to restore the mansion and convert the existing outbuildings into seven apartments, with another eight luxury lodges proposed in the grounds. There is further scope to add more units, subject to planning.
To complement the plans, an ancillary development, comprising an annexed double garage with a self-contained flat above, and adjoining gym, swimming pool and outdoor games court, have also been approved.
Pirniehall was originally built as a home for Sir Alexander Murray in 1896 and was converted into a live-in school facility during the 1970s, before closing in the 1990s.
William Rankine, partner at Knight Frank Glasgow, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “Pirniehall is an historic property that has stood empty since the 1990s, awaiting restoration and redevelopment. This sale could breathe new life into the building and its surrounding estate, creating a new tourist or residential site – or even a mix of the two – in the beautiful setting of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. It is rare we see such a unique opportunity come up and we anticipate a great deal of interest from both leisure and residential developers.”
