An elevated building plot occupying an attractive position on the edge of open countryside

The site benefits from planning permission in principle for the erection of a single dwelling house, under Planning Reference 20/01962/PP. Full details are available on the Argyll and Bute planning.

The plot is sold as seen and is currently unserviced. Mains water, electricity and telephony are understood to be available in the vicinity, however the purchaser will be solely responsible for confirming the availability and location of services, together with arranging and paying for all necessary connections. Drainage will require a SEPA-approved private drainage system, with all associated applications, approvals and installation costs being the responsibility of the purchaser. The elevated site enjoys south-westerly aspects, with mature woodland forming the rear and southern boundaries. Within the lower part of the site is the Ballinakill Cross Slab, an interesting historic Scheduled Monument which forms an additional feature of the plot.

Clachan is a small and attractive West Highland village with a local petrol station providing everyday essentials and a district primary school. The village is also situated on the popular Kintyre Way, offering excellent opportunities for walking and enjoying the surrounding countryside. Nearby Tarbert, approximately 10 miles away, is a picturesque fishing and yachting harbour with a good range of shops, services, cafés, pubs and restaurants, together with a marina. Secondary schooling is available in Tarbert, while further shopping and leisure facilities can be found in Lochgilphead and Campbeltown.
The surrounding Kintyre Peninsula offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits, including walking, cycling, sailing, fishing and golf, with the renowned Machrihanish links course further south. The attractive coastline, beaches and access to the Isle of Gigha further enhance the area's appeal.
