A Perthshire estate that includes a 53-bedroom country house hotel is on the market for almost £6 million.
Ballathie House Hotel is situated just south of Kinclaven, near Stanley, and has been run by its current owners for nearly two decades.
It is being marketed by Christie & Co, who describe the hotel as a “true Scottish gem”.
The current proprietors have owned Ballathie Estate state since 1998 and the hotel since 2005.
Perthshire hotel a ‘unique opportunity’
A brochure advertising the hotel for sale states: “The sale of Ballathie House Hotel and Estate presents a unique opportunity for a purchaser to take over one of Perthshire’s premier country house hotels.
“The restaurant boasts 2 AA Rosettes and visitors to the hotel can enjoy seasonal menus including local produce, all prepared by the established head chef and his team.
“The hotel enjoys an excellent reputation for food and service in the main dining room.”
Built in 1880, the property includes turret roof features which flank the main entrance doorway.
The hotel includes a total of 53 bedrooms, with the main house having 25 rooms.
The additional 28 contained are split between Riverside House and Sportsman’s Lodges.
A large estate extending to 235 acres, the grounds include woodland, numerous fields surrounding the hotel, and fishing rights on the River Tay.
‘Significant potential’ at Ballathie House Hotel
According to Christie & Co’s report, there is “significant additional income potential” for the estate.
These could include high-end self-catering lodges, while the hotel is a popular wedding venue with a large marquee often erected to the side of the main house.
The current owners have also considered the idea of creating spa facilities.
This could be achieved by reconfiguring existing staff accommodation or creating custom built facilities.
The Perthshire hotel is on the market for offers over £5,950,000.
Ballathie House is not the only multi-million-pound hotel being in Tayside and Fife being marketed by Christie & Co.
The Russell Hotel, on Courier Country’s most expensive street, is on sale for £3.5m.
