A £15 million plan has been announced for dozens of new luxury lodges near Loch Ness.

Asset management company, The Seventy Ninth Group, made the announcement after buying a 17.5 acre site in the Drumnadrochit area.

The company, whose portfolio includes luxury leisure and holiday parks, said the purchase of the Loch Ness site “signals the start of an extensive development programme - including the development and construction of over 30 luxury two, three, and four-bedroom lodges over the next 12 months”.

It did not indicate the precise location of its new acquisition. The Courier has reached out for more information.

Speaking as the firm made its announcement, Jake Webster, managing director of The Seventy Ninth Group: “The Scottish Highlands, and Loch Ness in particularly, have long been a top draw for domestic and international tourists seeking stunning natural beauty, rich history, and a quintessential luxury retreat.

“This acquisition represents an exciting opportunity to establish a premier hospitality offering in one of the UK’s most iconic regions.”

The company, which already has a foundation in the commercial property sector, has been expanding “rapidly” into the luxury holiday home market in the UK in recent times.

The new Drumnadrochit project is being financed through a combination of investment from The Seventy Ninth Group’s founding family, the Websters, alongside the company’s established financing arm.

It argued that this approach “allows the group to enhance under-valued assets into high quality properties, while positioning them for long term sustainable returns and delivering exceptional value to its stakeholders”.
