Description

Waterside plot of land in amazing location within the attractive Highland town of Alness on the famous North Coast 500 tourist route.

Amazing location on the heart of whisky country with famous distilleries nearby including Glenmorangie, Dalmore, Teaninich, Ardross and Invergordon. All are easily accessible and offer wonderful tours and tasting events- creating further draw to the area.

The plot has been measured at 535sqm (5758sqft), is easily accessed and offers direct access to the River Averon with fishing rights included. The river as regarded as a classic 'spate' river. Best enjoyed when water levels rise and fall. The water runs from it's source at Loch Morie and is home to many hardy fish including the majestic salmon (Permit may be required for salmon fishing).

The land is offered on a FREEHOLD basis and offers for immediate use with potential for multiple uses.

The surrounding area has recently seen residential development so the opportunity may exist to develop the plot but it is offered without planning permission and the auctioneer can give no advice on planning.

Alness is an exceptional location for land ownership as it is located only 20 miles north of the City of Inverness (The Capital of the Highlands) with direct access from the A9 trunk road making travel easy from the airport and strong connectivity across the Highlands.

Alness enjoys a active local economy with a strong demand for land- recreational and development land and has appeals strongly to investors with significant growth in demand in recent years.

The town enjoys an ideal position on the Cromarty Firth Green Freeport Zone almost guaranteeing long-term housing demand and employment growth creating a significant long-term growth in land value.

Significant local attractions include The Fyrish Monument, Alness Golf Club, Dolphin watching at the nearby Chanonry Point and the stunning river walk along the banks of the River Averon.
For the Golfer- Alness Golf Club is the primary course located in town, offering an 18-hole parkland layout on Ardross Road with views of the Cromarty Firth. Several other scenic and championship courses are within easy driving distance, notably Royal Dornoch and Fortrose & Rosemarkie.

High demand area with extremely limited land supply. Act now to avoid disappointment.
