A Scottish wildlife park in the idyllic area of Perthshire Hills is on the market for £1,500,000 — and it comes with all of its resident animals.
Auchingarrich Wildlife Park, a popular tourist attraction, is looking for a new owner to take care of its beautiful 131-acres of land and wonderful species who live there. As well as native Scottish animals (including Highland cattle, goats and sheep), the park also has a wide range of exotic creatures, such as meerkats, monkeys and porcupines.
The business has been privately run for over 10 years by the Scott family, who have made many changes to the land and farm during their tenure. As they embark on a new chapter, they are looking for suitable owners who are ready to take on an exciting, new challenge.
The park benefits from year-round trade, thanks to a high number of visitors, buzzy coffee shop and plethora of attractions. Growth has steadily continued over the years, with their three-year turnover in order of around £585,000. They also have two indoor play areas for children, an outdoor adventure playground, animal enclosures, a hatchery and animal feeding pens, too.
Also included in the sale of the wildlife park is a lovely quaint farmhouse, which is a traditional stone property with five well-sized bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms.
Inside the home, you'll also find a separate study, a country-style kitchen, and a cosy living room area with a fireplace. Situated on a private spot on the estate, it's the perfect place for homeowners to unwind after a long day on the farm.
"Auchingarrich Wildlife Park is located in a highly sought-after location ideal for tourism-related business," says Harry Stott, Senior Associate in Commercial Property, who is handling the sale of the farm for Galbraith.
"The business has a proven financial track record and is of an exceptional standard. The Torlum Coffee Shop is available for private hire for evening events or small intimate weddings, adding another business income."
Vikki Bennett, a spokesperson for OnTheMarket, adds: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run a business and also to enjoy the lifestyle in a beautiful part of the country."
The wildlife park and property is on the market for £1,500,000 through Galbraith via OnTheMarket.
