Neil Calder, partner in the Inverness office of Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said, “The area is a very popular tourist destination with the renowned village of Plockton eight miles away. The sale extends to 346 acres and comprises an interesting mix of development, agricultural and amenity land.”

Euan MacCrimmon, director at Strutt & Parker, Inverness, added, “As well as the active residential development consents, the sale provides some interesting opportunities for amenity buyers with an interest in natural capital to develop a small coastal estate.”

The land is offered for sale as a whole, with offers over £995,000 invited, or in four lots. Offers over £195,000 are invited for Lot 1, comprising 236 acres of ‘attractive’ coastal land and woodland mainly crofted land comprising common grazings, tenanted crofts and croft apportionments, with amenity, sporting, and natural capital opportunities.

Offers over £250,000 are invited for Lot 2, comprising 85 acres of ‘spectacular’ coastal grazing ground with potential to construct an extravagant coastal property overlooking Loch Alsh, or potential for a leisure-based development such as a caravan park/cabins, subject to gaining appropriate planning and other consents from the local authority.
