Glamping Plot next to Duncansby Lighthouse East End, John O' Groats, Wick, KW1

Land size
0.5 acres

Description

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present to the market the opportunity to obtain land with planning permission granted for holiday accommodation in one of the most popular tourist areas of Scotland.

The plot is approximately half an acre in size and has planning permission for 4 en-suite glamping pods and a larger en-suite cabin. Once complete, the site will represent the most North Easterly accommodation available in all mainland UK. The land is located on the popular NC500 route, and is a 5 minute walk to Sannick Beach, a 10 minute walk to the famous Duncansby Lighthouse, and a 15 minute walk to the famous Duncansby Sea Stacks. All of which are popular with tourists all year round.

This is an excellent opportunity to obtain a lucrative investment. All the information relating to the planning can be found on The Highland Council planning portal ref 23/05507/FUL.
