A Scottish golf course that had been offered as part of a roughly $2 million property package is now available on its own for about $590,000.
Aigas Golf Course, near Beauly in the Scottish Highlands, is an established nine-hole parkland layout covering about 30 acres, with a clubhouse, parking lot and practice area. The course has been on the market since January, although until now it had been included as part of a much larger offering.
Selling agent Bell Ingram has been seeking offers of more than $1.97 million for the full package, which includes the golf course, four furnished vacation cottages, farm buildings and two adjoining agricultural fields. Altogether, the property covers about 56 acres.
The new $590,000 listing does not represent a
$1.38 million price cut. Instead, it gives potential buyers another option, allowing them to acquire the golf operation without purchasing all of the surrounding property.
According to the new listing, the course operates year-round, while the clubhouse is staffed from April through the end of October. The operation currently employs one full-time greenskeeper and a seasonal part-time assistant. Robotic mowing also has been introduced on most fairways and some areas of rough.
The original $1.97 million offering remains on the market. Joanne Stennett, a senior associate at Bell Ingram and head of the firm's estate agency team in Beauly, said earlier this week that the entire package remains available and that "we are purely looking at different options."
"The interest still seems to be with the whole package rather than just the course," she added.
Bell Ingram is essentially letting the market decide which option is more attractive. For about $590,000, one buyer could acquire Aigas Golf Course primarily as a golf business. For more than three times that amount, another buyer could acquire the course along with a much more diversified mix of property and potential revenue sources.
The question now is whether offering the golf course separately will bring a different kind of buyer to the table.
