Description
An exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke Highland home in the beautiful coastal settlement of Glenborrodale, on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.
Extending to approximately 0.38 acres, Plot A occupies an attractive rural setting amid the dramatic scenery for which this remarkable part of the West Highlands is renowned. The surrounding landscape is characterised by wooded hillsides, rugged mountains and the sheltered waters of Loch Sunart, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting in an area that remains notably unspoilt.
The plot benefits from Planning Permission in Principle under reference 25/03395/PIP for residential development, offering purchasers the opportunity to design and create an individual home suited to its Highland surroundings, subject to the necessary detailed consents.
Glenborrodale lies within an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers an enviable lifestyle for those with an appreciation of the outdoors. The nearby RSPB Glenborrodale encompasses internationally important Atlantic oak woodland along the shores of Loch Sunart, while the wider peninsula is particularly renowned for its abundance of wildlife, including red deer, otters, seals and both golden and white-tailed eagles. The surrounding coastline provides excellent opportunities for walking, kayaking, sailing, angling and wildlife watching.
Despite the wonderfully secluded character of the location, day-to-day amenities are available within the neighbouring communities of Salen and Acharacle. Acharacle provides a village shop and Post Office, primary schooling, medical facilities, a garage and places to eat, while further amenities are available throughout the peninsula.
Ardnamurchan is perhaps best known for its spectacular coastline and sense of space and tranquillity. From the white sands and turquoise waters of Sanna Bay to Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly reaches of the British mainland, the peninsula offers some of the finest coastal scenery in the Highlands.
