Ballindalloch Filling Station & Shop Post Office

Highly profitable rural petrol station, village store & PO plus 3-bed cottage. Lease for sale.

A fantastic lifestyle opportunity particularly for a couple or hands-on owner operator looking to potentially take their first-step into running their own retail business/petrol station.

As often the case with businesses in rural settings, trade can be somewhat seasonal although it does trade well throughout the year as it remains a vital service to the wider community and others working in the surrounding area.

The property forms part of the historic Ballindalloch Estate and is situated at Bridge of Avon, within the scenic Speyside area of the Scottish Highlands. The location occupies a prominent position on the A95, the principal route linking the A9 at Aviemore with the A96 at Keith and providing an important connection through the Speyside and Cairngorms area.

The business is ideally positioned to benefit from a combination of local community trade and significant passing traffic, together with the area's strong tourism appeal. It is within easy reach of a number of well-established visitor attractions, including Ballindalloch Castle, Ballindalloch Golf Course, the Delnashaugh Inn and Ballindalloch Distillery.

The wider Speyside area is internationally renowned for whisky production and forms part of the famous Malt Whisky Trail, attracting substantial numbers of visitors throughout the year. Tourism is further supported by the area's exceptional natural environment, with opportunities for salmon fishing on the River Spey, walking and cycling, mountain biking and access to the Speyside Way and Cairngorms National Park.

Aviemore is approximately 28 miles to the south west, while Keith is approximately 24 miles to the north east, with Grantown-on-Spey and other principal Speyside communities also readily accessible. The combination of a strategic roadside location, established local amenities and a highly attractive tourism setting provides an excellent platform for the continued operation and development of the Village Store, Post Office and Fuel Station.
