The Seventy Ninth Group, a leading asset management company with a reputation for developing luxury leisure and holiday parks, has embarked on its latest £15m venture on the banks of Loch Ness.
The 17.5-acre site in Drumnadrochit marks the beginning of an ambitious project set to redefine hospitality in the Scottish Highlands.
Over the next 12 months, the group plans to develop and construct over 30 high-end lodges, ranging from two- to four-bedroom properties, catering to the growing demand for premium accommodation in one of the UK’s most iconic destinations.
Loch Ness: a premier tourism hotspot
With over 2 million visitors each year and contributing more than £750 million to the Scottish economy, the Highlands remain a magnet for both domestic and international tourists.
Jake Webster, managing director of The Seventy Ninth Group, explains:
“The Scottish Highlands, and Loch Ness in particular, 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.”
Financing a vision for luxury living
The project is being financed through a combination of investments from the company’s founding family, the Websters, and its established financing arm. This strategic approach underscores The Seventy Ninth Group’s commitment to expanding its luxury property portfolio while tapping into the Highlands’ year-round tourism appeal.
What to expect
The planned lodges aim to combine contemporary design with the rustic charm of the Highlands, offering stunning views of Loch Ness and providing a perfect blend of luxury and natural immersion. The lodges will cater to discerning travellers seeking high-quality accommodations and exceptional service.
Investment outlook
As demand for premium holiday properties continues to soar, The Seventy Ninth Group’s development stands to capture a lucrative share of the hospitality market. For investors and tourists alike, this Loch Ness development represents an exciting new chapter in luxury tourism within the Scottish Highlands.
