Ben Wyvis is the perfect site for outdoor and recreational pursuits. Set in an amazing scene in the Scottish Highlands with tarred road access and direct entry to the Glascarnoch River.
Easily accessible. River Blackwater is located just off the A835 road linking the city of Inverness (the Capital of the Highlands) with the beautiful costal town of Ullapool with a well-established road to the site.
The picturesque land is framed by the impressive, 500 metre long Glascarnoch Dam- a heralded local tourist attraction helping to create and maintain the 7km long Loch Glascarnoch reservoir- home to some of the area's best fishing- with the Loch famed for it brown trout and hardy pike.
Fishing is accessible from the banks and by boat (permit is required) for fishing in the loch but fishing rights for the river are included.
Ben Wyvis offers easy access to the iconic North Coat 500 route and to a number of local attractions including Ben Wyvis - Glas Leathad Mor- the highest peak in the region, Ben Wyvis Nature Reserve, The stunning Black Water Falls and some amazing fishing in the nearby rivers and lochs.
The land has been measured at 2,056sqm (22,130sqft), the land is regularly shaped and slopes fairly gently from the road to the water. The land is un-serviced and no ground works have been completed meaning it is perfect for immediate lifestyle/ recreational use.
The land is offered with a lodged planning application. No guarantees or assurances will be made by Braveheart Auctions in relation to development or planning permission. However, it is understood that the land is set within a designated development zone.
The land is located close to the extremely well regarded Aultguish Inn- offering breakfast, lunch and dinner services as well as an extremely well-stocked bar.
River Blackwater is located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands approximately 20 miles from Ullapool, 23 miles from Dingwall and 35 miles from the city of Inverness.
