Description

UNDER OFFER

An opportunity to acquire approximately 13.92 acres (5.63 hectares) of agricultural land situated on the outskirts of Helmsdale. Enjoying an attractive coastal setting, the land offers potential for agricultural, grazing, equestrian or amenity use

Kildonan Glebe comprises an attractive block of land extending to approximately 5.63 hectares (13.92 acres), situated on the fringes of Helmsdale and enjoying an appealing coastal setting. The land is predominantly classified as Grade 4.1 by the James Hutton Institute Land Capability for Agriculture classification, with a small area of Grade 6.2. This classification indicates land suitable for livestock grazing and the production of a limited range of crops, offering flexibility for agricultural, equestrian or amenity purposes.
The land is gently undulating in nature and benefits from good accessibility, making it suitable for a variety of rural and lifestyle uses, subject to any necessary consents. Along the coastal edge there is an area of rougher ground, adding character and biodiversity interest to the holding while providing a natural transition to the shoreline environment. The boundaries are largely defined by established trees, creating a sheltered and private setting whilst enhancing the landscape appeal of the property.
Its location on the edge of Helmsdale offers a balance between rural seclusion and convenience, with local amenities and transport links readily accessible. The combination of productive grazing land, attractive coastal surroundings and a desirable position close to the village makes Kildonan Glebe an appealing opportunity for those seeking agricultural land, equestrian grazing, conservation interests or a long-term landholding investment.

Kildonan Glebe is situated just off the A9 towards the north edge of the village of Helmsdale. Helmsdale and nearby Brora offer good local amenities including shops, restaurants and health care facilities. Primary schooling is available in both Brora and Helmsdale whilst pupils travel to Golspie for secondary education. About 1.5 hours to the south of the property lies Inverness which offers a comprehensive range of shops and recreational facilities. Inverness also offers international air links as well as national train services.

From Inverness, follow the A9 north for approximately 68 miles to the village of Helmsdale. Continue through the village, remaining on Navidale Road (A9) as the road bends to the right. Proceed towards the northern edge of the village and, just before the roundabout, the access to the land can be found on the right-hand side through a field gate.
