Land
DRAFT DETAILS
51 acres or thereabouts of grazing land benefiting from planning in principal for the creation of a four bedroomed detached property with garage. The auctioneers have not inspected the site but believe The croft is situated in an elevated position with views out over Loch Shin, the surrounding hills and countryside. 0.27 hectares de-crofted for the residential building. We feel the land has multiple alternate uses such as for glamping/ camp site/ pods and long-term potential for development subject to necessary planning consents and de-crofting.
The land is mainly heather with self-seeded birch, scots pine and other native species growing on site. There is evidence of peat on site which may interest crofters cutting peat for their own fuel needs (Intendent Checks should be carried out). An access road has been constructed from the main road to the house plot and then continuing along part of the southern boundary of the croft.
Interested parties are advised to inspect the legal pack and the planning portal via the Highland Council reference number 18/04488/PIP
