Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a prime development plot extending to approximately 0.6 Acres, benefitting from superb views across the surrounding countryside.

Situated in an enviable and elevated position above the colourful and much sought-after coastal town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, the Land North East of Erray Cottage, Erray Road presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a prime residential development site in a truly spectacular setting. Enjoying a peaceful and rural position, the plot commands outstanding panoramic views across the surrounding rolling countryside, creating an exceptional backdrop for a bespoke home.

Extending to approximately 0.6 acres, the site offers generous proportions and a gently sloping topography, well-suited to the construction of a striking individual dwelling designed to make the most of its elevated outlook. The plot extends to approximately 0.6 acres and benefits from planning permission for the development of a single residential dwelling designed to accommodate a three bedroom layout (or two bedrooms plus study), along with two bathrooms. Full planning details can be found on the Argyll and Bute planning portal under reference 23/00719/PP.

In addition to the main plot, an adjacent parcel of land extending to approximately one acre lies to the front of the site. This additional land is held under the same ownership and may be available by separate negotiation, presenting further opportunities for purchasers seeking increased amenity ground, privacy, or potential for alternative uses, subject to the relevant permissions.

Overall, this is an attractive and increasingly rare opportunity to secure a serviced building plot in a prime island location, offering both stunning views and development potential in one of Scotland’s most picturesque coastal settings.

The Land North East Of Erray Cottage is situated in a rural location above the colourful harbour town of Tobermory, a vibrant town which provides an excellent range of dining and shopping opportunities as well as offering primary and secondary schooling, a medical centre, churches, a golf course and a popular distillery.

The Isle of Mull is the second largest island within the Inner Hebrides. The island is accessed via a regular car ferry service from Oban to Craignure. Services from Lochaline and Kilchoan on the Morvern and Ardnamurchan peninsulas respectively are also available.
There is a small airstrip at Glenforsa suitable for private aircraft and a main line train service operating several times daily between Glasgow and Oban - some connecting directly with the ferries.

Mull boasts an extraordinary and diverse range of scenery, wildlife and leisure activities which brings large number of visitors throughout the year. The island also hosts a number of music and arts festivals plus the annual Tour of Mull car rally. In the sea surrounding Mull there are various trips provided to local puffin and seal colonies and also to Iona, and the island of Staffa where many tourists visit Fingal’s Cave.

Mains electricity, mains water and BT phone/internet services are located locally for connection. It is envisaged that a septic tank or bio digester will be installed as part of the build process.

From Oban, take the Calmac ferry to the Isle of Mull, arriving in Craignure. Upon leaving the ferry, turn right and follow the road for approximately 21 miles to Tobermory. At the roundabout, stay left, crossing the bridge over the river and then turn immediately right onto Breadalbane Street.

Follow Breadalbane Street to the end, where it drops down onto Erray Road. Turn left and follow Erray Road up the hill and round to the right. Continue along Erray Road past the police station, continuing to the left, past the entrance to Tobermory Golf Club and follow the road. The plot is located on the right towards the top of the hill, clearly marked by a Bell Ingram sale board.
