Description
Escape to the Highlands with this exceptional riverside plot near the peaceful village of Garve, offering breathtaking scenery, fresh Highland air and the chance to create your own retreat in one of Scotland's most spectacular locations.
River Blackwater is perfectly suited for outdoor and recreational use, set within a stunning Highland landscape with tarred road access and direct frontage onto the Glascarnoch River.
Freehold plot is easily accessible, located just off the A835 - the scenic route connecting Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands, with the beautiful coastal town of Ullapool. A well-established access road leads directly to the land.
The picturesque setting is framed by the impressive 500-metre-long Glascarnoch Dam, a renowned local landmark which creates the expansive 7km-long Loch Glascarnoch reservoir. The loch is famed for excellent fishing, particularly brown trout and hardy pike, attracting anglers from across the Highlands.
Fishing is available from both the banks and by boat (permit required for loch fishing), while fishing rights for the river are included with the sale.
River Blackwater also offers excellent access to the world-famous North Coast 500 route and a wealth of nearby attractions including Ben Wyvis, Glas Leathad Mòr -the region's highest peak- Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve, the stunning Black Water Falls and countless rivers and lochs renowned for fishing and outdoor pursuits.
The plot extends to approximately 421sqm (4,532sqft). The land is regularly shaped and gently slopes from the roadside towards the riverbank, creating a highly attractive natural setting. The site is unserviced and no groundworks have been undertaken, making it ideal for immediate leisure, camping or recreational use.
The property is offered without planning permission and Braveheart Auctions provide no guarantees or assurances in relation to future development potential or planning consent.
Subject to the necessary permissions, small-scale developments such as chalets, pods or similar recreational structures may be possible.
The land is located close to the highly regarded Aultguish Inn, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner alongside a popular and well-stocked Highland bar.
River Blackwater enjoys a superb central Highland location approximately 20 miles from Ullapool, 23 miles from Dingwall and 35 miles from Inverness.
A rare opportunity to secure your own peaceful Highland escape in an unforgettable riverside setting.
