Description - Imagine waking up to panoramic views of Loch Ewe stretching towards the picturesque Aultbea and Mellon Charles peninsula, all while being embraced by the protective hills in the backdrop. The tranquillity and beauty of this idyllic setting are simply unparalleled.

The well placed and prepared sites are on the magnificent coastline road of the Peninsula on the outskirts of the village of Poolewe, and are sited with views over Loch Ewe, whilst enjoying the shelter from the Northwest. Across the sea loch is Inverewe Gardens and the village hall, which can be viewed from the location of the sites, as well as around the peninsula to Inverasdale and Cove.

Plot 1 measures approximately 0.14164 ha (0.35 of an acre) and are accessed via a shared access road, leading from the main Poolewe to Inverasdale road. Individual driveways will be the responsibility of the purchaser(s). An access road has been laid to tarmac, with all mains services brought in to the development for connecting up to each plot. There is also a 2 - 3 vehicle parking area, and 2 wheelie bin stores conveniently positioned for all the plots.
