Description
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.
This is a rare and superb opportunity to purchase a substantial building plot (approx. 0.42acres) which enjoys the most iydillic setting with stunning panoramic views across Loch Long and beyond.
There is potential for 2 plots as there was full planning for one and outline passed for another, both of which have now lapsed but should be re-issued quite easily subject to application. For further details please view the Argyle and Bute council planning - 09/00629/DET
Portincaple is an exclusive hamlet of varied house styles which predominantly overlook Loch Long, access to Whistlefield and onto Garelochhead provides general shopping, primary schooling and transport links for day to day living. Neighbouring towns such as Helensburgh provide a more comprehensive array of amenities including supermarkets, chain stores etc, secondary education/ private schooling options can be found there. Although Portincaple is a delightful rustic and rural setting ideal for outdoor activities either land or water based it is also surprisingly close to commercial hubs such as Glasgow city centre and international airport. Rail services can also be accessed via Garelochhead.
Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
