Mucklehouse, Eday, Orkney
- Land size
- 7.04 acres
Description
Mucklehouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a generous parcel of crofted land (croft register O0591) extending to approximately 7.04 acres or thereby, set in a stunning coastal position on the island of Eday. Offering uninterrupted views over the surrounding sea and neighbouring isles, this picturesque holding combines productive grazing land with exceptional natural surroundings.
The land lies in a gently sloping coastal setting and is predominantly laid to permanent grass, well-suited for grazing, small-scale agriculture, or hobby crofting. The fields are bounded by traditional fencing, with clear boundary lines shown on the supplied plan.
A small cluster of traditional outbuildings sits toward the western side of the property, close to the shoreline. These buildings offer potential for storage, workshops, livestock shelter, or future redevelopment (subject to the necessary consents). Their position makes the most of the expansive coastal outlook, with open sea views visible in every direction.
‘A prospective purchaser should note that this croft land is regulated by the Crofting Commission. This means that the successful purchaser/assignee is agreeing to abide by certain duties with regard to the croft land. These duties are:
• A duty to be ordinarily resident on, or within 32km (20miles) of your croft
• A duty to cultivate and maintain your croft or put it to another purposeful use
• A duty not to misuse or neglect your croft.
In addition, there is a legal requirement to return an Annual Notice to the Crofting Commission each year, confirming whether or not you adhere to these duties. Failure to return this notice is a criminal offence, and if as a result of this, any failure to meet the duties is discovered, you could lose the croft or the right to
use it.’
