A once-grand mansion nestled in the heart of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park has been placed on the market with a price tag of £850,000. 

Pirniehall, located near the village of Croftamie in Stirlingshire, sits just four miles from the eastern shore of Loch Lomond and around 30 minutes from Glasgow.  

Originally built in 1896 as a private residence for Sir Alexander Murray, the property later served as a live-in school facility during the 1970s before closing its doors in the 1990s.  

It has remained derelict ever since, and has become dilapidated, with ruined rooms and broken windows and doors.  

The sellers say it offers a rare opportunity to restore and repurpose a piece of Scottish architectural heritage. 

The estate being offered for sale spans more than six hectares and includes the main house and several outbuildings.

Planning permission has already been granted for a comprehensive redevelopment of the site, which would see Pirniehall restored to its former glory as a 14,000 sq. ft. luxury mansion.  

The existing outbuildings are approved for conversion into seven apartments, with an additional eight luxury lodges proposed within the grounds. 

Further approved plans include an ancillary development featuring a double garage with a self-contained flat above, a gym, swimming pool, and outdoor games court.  

There is also scope for additional units, subject to planning consent.

The site is being marketed by estate agents Knight Frank. William Rankine, partner at Knight Frank Glasgow, said: “Pirniehall is a 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.”
