A once-popular outdoor centre, which was controversially closed by Perth and Kinross Council, could make around £200,000 when it goes under the hammer this week.
The Blackwater building at Blairgowrie was shut last year, alongside a similar base at Kinloch Rannoch, as part of budget cuts.
Both facilities regularly welcomed residential school trips and private parties from across the country. Their closure was described by critics as a blow for local tourism.
Now the Blackwater centre, which was previously a primary school, will be offered for sale by SVA Property Auctions.
Sellers say the two-storey building, which sleeps up to 18 people, has a starting price of £190,000.
A spokesman for the auction company said: “The lot is ideally placed to continue to be used as an outdoor centre or for other business opportunities where a rural location adds value, such as dog boarding, retreats or a venture which taps into the increasingly popular vogue for glamping.”
He said the building could also be converted into a family home.
The property goes under the hammer on Wednesday.
The row over the closure of both centres was recently revived, after local Conservatives backed a national campaign to save Scottish outdoor centres.
Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP Liz Smith urged Perth and Kinross residents to sign a petition to safeguard the country’s under-threat facilities.
But the leader of the local SNP group councillor Grant Laing said the move was “hypocritical” coming just months after the council’s Tory administration closed down Blackwater and Kinloch Rannoch.
Meanwhile, the Rannoch Community Trust has secured more than £134,660 to take over the Kinloch Rannoch Outdoor Centre.
The group plans to use the Scottish Land Fund cash to transform the premises into a new social hub, with food, drink and business space.
Conservative Highland councillor John Duff said the funding award had vindicated the council in another row, after the administration was criticised for charging the trust £75,000 for the building.
At a council meeting last month, opposition councillors queried why the authority was asking a five-figure-sum from a community group when it was at the same time selling a High Street building to hotel developers for £1.
Mr Duff said the award allowed the trust to secure and fully refurbish the building “at no additional cost to local people.”
