Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this excellent building plot extending to approximately 0.874 acres, situated within the sought-after coastal village of Staxigoe, just a short distance north of Wick.
This generous plot offers a superb opportunity for those looking to build a bespoke family home in an attractive coastal setting. Benefitting from planning for the erection of a dwelling, formation of an access, and the installation of a treatment system and soakaway (Planning Ref: 25/03533/FUL), the site presents an exciting development opportunity for a range of purchasers including self-builders, developers or those looking to relocate to the north Highlands.
The site enjoys a pleasant position close to the sea and the historic harbour of Staxigoe, a traditional fishing village well regarded for its coastal scenery and convenient proximity to Wick. Services are located nearby, helping to make this an accessible and practical development opportunity. The Community Development Charge has already been paid by the current owners and is included within the purchase price.
Extending to approximately 0.874 acres, the plot provides ample outdoor space for gardens, parking and landscaping, allowing purchasers the flexibility to design a home that fully maximises the setting and surrounding outlook. The size of the site also offers excellent potential for creating a spacious family home with generous external grounds.
Staxigoe is a popular residential area and is ideally positioned for access to Wick, which offers a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, healthcare services, schooling, leisure facilities, cafés, restaurants and transport links including rail and airport connections.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial plot in a desirable coastal location, offering excellent potential to create a beautiful home within easy reach of local amenities and the stunning Caithness coastline.
