Description
Riverside Freehold Land Opportunity - 549 sqm in Alness
A unique opportunity to acquire a 549 sqm freehold plot in a beautiful riverside setting in Alness, Ross-shire.
If you are looking for your own piece of Highland land in an attractive natural setting, this 693 sqm plot offers an exciting opportunity in the sought-after Alness area.
A Beautiful Highland Location
Alness is a charming and well-established Highland town, beautifully positioned between the Cromarty Firth and the surrounding Ross-shire countryside.
The area is renowned for its stunning scenery and wealth of outdoor opportunities, with rivers, woodland, countryside and mountains close at hand. Alness also provides convenient access to the wider Highlands, including Inverness, making it an appealing location for those seeking the peace and character of Highland surroundings while remaining within reach of everyday amenities and transport links.
Riverside Setting
One of the property's most appealing features is its position alongside the river, providing a peaceful natural environment and an opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of the water.
The river is regarded as a classic "spate" river, with naturally rising and falling water levels that give it a constantly changing character.
Flowing from its source at Loch Morie, the river is home to a variety of hardy fish, including the majestic salmon. This adds particular appeal for those with an interest in fishing and the natural environment, although appropriate permits or permissions may be required for salmon fishing.
