Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire one of two prime development plots, each benefitting from a popular location within North Connel, just a short commute to Oban.

Located within the picturesque coastal neighbourhood of North Connel, just a short commuting distance from the vibrant town of Oban, the Plots at Achnacairn offers buyers an opportunity to acquire one of two prime development sites, a wonderful opportunity for those looking to build their dream home in this much sought after location.

Extending to an area of approximately 0.247 and 0.41 acres respectively, the plots are accessed via an existing shared driveway from the coastal road.

The plots are situated in a popular residential location, and once completed, it is likely that a new dwelling will benefit from far-reaching views across Loch Etive.

The local village of Connel boasts many amenities and enjoys regular public transport links to Oban, Fort William and Glasgow.

The plots are each being sold with planning permission in principle, further details of which can be found on the Argyll and Bute planning portal under reference numbers 23/2444/PPP and 22/01950/PPP

The plots at Achnacain are located in North Connel, a hamlet on the north side of Loch Etive in Argyll and Bute, only a short drive from the villages of Connel and Benderloch. North Connel has a thriving community with a village hall, public house and an airstrip suitable for light aircraft which is becoming a popular ‘daytrip’ destination. A nearby visitor attraction is the beautiful garden at Ardchattan Priory.

Connel Village has two good hotels/restaurants and a doctor’s surgery with pharmacy. It is served by a regular bus service and has a railway station, with links to Oban and Glasgow. Benderloch, a very short distance away, is a popular coastal
village, offering an array of amenities including a local shop, garage, primary school, church, café, cycle path and regular bus service. Ben Lora and the sandy beach at Tralee are also very close by.

Oban, approximately 6 miles to the west, supports a wide range of shopping, recreational and leisure facilities, as well as banks, building societies and professional offices.There are a number of primary schools, a hospital, a leisure centre, a cinema and a well-respected high school. It is an expanding port with an attractive sea front and busy harbour from which the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries operate serving the Inner Hebrides and some of the Outer Hebrides. Oban offers excellent travel links by road, rail, sea and air

The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of all servitude rights, burdens, reservations and wayleaves, including rights of access and rights of way, whether public or private, light, support, drainage, water and wayleaves for masts, pylons, stays, cable, drains and water, gas and other pipes, whether contained in the Title Deeds or informally constituted and whether referred to in the General Remarks and Stipulations or not. The Purchaser(s) will be held to have satisfied himself as to the nature of all such servitude rights and others.

Driving from Oban, take the A85 signposted for Crianlarich and Fort William. Continue along the road for around 4.5 miles before turning right onto the A828 towards Fort William. Follow the road across the iconic Connel road bridge.

Approximately 200 yards from the bridge, turn right, following signs for North Connel and Bonawe. Continue along the road for approximately 1.8 miles. The entrance to the plots is located on the left-hand side, clearly marked by a Bell Ingram sale board.
