Description
0.8 acre serviced building plot in Lower Plaidy
Full planning permission for a 3 bed, 2 bath bungalow
Low and Partners is delighted to showcase this superb 0.8 acre building plot in Lower Plaidy, offering an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke home in a peaceful and highly desirable rural setting. With generous grounds, excellent access and full planning permission already in place, this plot represents a rare chance to build in a location that combines countryside living with everyday convenience.
The plot enjoys direct road frontage onto the A947 Turriff to Banff road, providing straightforward access to surrounding towns and amenities. Lower Plaidy is well positioned for families and commuters alike, with local schools and services close by, and both Elgin and Aberdeen approximately 35 miles away. The area is also renowned for its dark skies, making it a perfect location for witnessing the aurora borealis when conditions allow.
Full planning permission has been granted for a three bedroom, two bathroom bungalow, allowing the next owner to progress confidently with their build. A soakaway for the septic tank is already installed, and the plot benefits from three separate entrances, offering flexibility for layout and access. Electricity and mains water are close by, with the added advantage of natural spring water available on site.
The land is well maintained, with good stock fencing replaced in 2021, and the generous 0.8 acre size provides ample room for gardens, parking, garaging or additional outbuildings, subject to the appropriate consents.
This is an excellent opportunity to secure a substantial building plot in a sought after rural location, with planning in place and key infrastructure already underway — an ideal setting for creating a countryside home tailored to your own design.
