Excellent opportunity to purchase an area of Owner-Occupied Croft extending to approximately 21.49 acres, in the popular village of Achiltibuie on the naturally beautiful West Coast of Scotland.
The land for sale measures approx. 8.69ha (21.49 acres) and consists of croftland plus two decrofted plots with potential for development. The croftland is in two separate parcels – the larger area extending from the public road down to the foreshore and a smaller area 0.68 ha (1.68acres) lying on the north side of the public road. The croftland is registered with the Crofting Commission as two separate crofts and offers permanent grassland and rough grazing suitable for cattle or sheep.
The plots measure 0.23ha and 0.51ha and planning consent was obtained for the Erection of a House (05/00207/OUTRC) and the Formation of Access & Installation of services to Three Affordable House Plots (ARM) (06/00450/REMRC) respectively. These permissions have now lapsed and new consents would be required for any development.
A gravel track gives access from the public road across both crofts and also to a Water Authority tank near the foreshore. The whole property has been actively farmed as one unit.
For information about owning a croft and crofting legislation, it is recommended that advice is sought from the Crofting Commission () or a solicitor with Crofting experience.
Viewing Arrangements The croft can be viewed at any time by prior arrangement through the selling Agents.
