Rare investment opportunity for homebuyers in Gleneagles, Perthshire

A rare second chance has arisen to buy one of CLC Country Homes fully furnished luxury lodges at Duchally Country Estate in Gleneagles, Perthshire, where investors can home in on up to 10 years guaranteed rental returns of around 7%.

“All of Duchally Estate’s 54 lodges were snapped up within weeks of being released,” said Jonathan Kessel, director of CLC Country Homes.

"But now, due to the current owner of this one lodge emigrating to New Zealand, there is a unique opportunity for one buyer to home in on a great property investment.”

Set in 27 acres of beautiful Perthshire countryside, close to the world famous Gleneagles golf course and the chosen home of the Ryder Cup in 2014, CLC Country Homes initially offered a range of two and three bedroom luxury lodges at Duchally Country Estate.

Complete with private decking areas overlooking the landscaped grounds, a superb leisure centre with indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa Jacuzzi and well equipped gymnasium, Duchally Country Estate also features a country house hotel with award winning restaurant and bar. A wealth of sports and leisure facilities are at hand close by, including fishing, clay pigeon shooting, four wheel off-road driving and, of course, golf.

The quality and range of amenities at Duchally Country Estate not only enhances the rental opportunities of the properties, but purchasers have also benefited from excellent capital appreciation over the past 2 years.

All the initial purchasers at Duchally took advantage of the CLC Country Homes leaseback scheme for up to 10 years giving a guaranteed rental return of 7% per annum. While a proportion of buyers were professional property investors around 60% were first time investment buyers attracted by the location, quality of build and the guaranteed rental return.

The property at Duchally currently for sale is one of the Garden Lodges, at a fixed price of £285,000 giving a guaranteed rental return of £19,390 per annum for remaining term of lease – up to 2015. The buyer is also being offered a special two week holiday package every year, which can be taken at any of the participating luxury Club La Costa Resorts and Hotels throughout the world for just £500 per annum.

This Garden Lodge is located in the middle of a semi circle of properties in front of Duchally Hotel. Finished in traditional render, with slate roof, it comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs and open plan living accommodation upstairs with dining room, kitchen and lounge opening onto a large balcony. The property is also fully furnished to a very high specification, with high quality integrated kitchen appliances, plasma televisions, DVD and CD player, and sumptuous soft furnishings.

"Whether people are buying as an investment, a holiday home with excellent rental potential or a freehold property for their own exclusive use, buyers today have very high expectations and at CLC Country Homes we aim to ensure that every home we build meets - and hopefully exceeds - these requirements," says Jonathan Kessel.

"That is why all the CLC Country Homes developments are multi-faceted. As well as luxury new homes in prime locations, finished to the highest specification with designer kitchens, bathrooms and en-suites, spacious, elegant living accommodation and secluded terraces and patios, owners at Duchally Country Estate also enjoy fantastic onsite facilities, and the benefits of 24 hour concierge reception service.”

Duchally is the ideal location for buyers looking to enjoy the good life in the country, while for those in search of some retail therapy, will enjoy the individual boutiques to be found in nearby Auchterarder and Perth.
