Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a picturesque development plot nestled amidst the dramatic landscapes of the Cairngorms National Park, this unique rural plot offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a bespoke highland home. Extending to approximately 0.08 acres (313 square metres), the site is steeped in character, featuring the, stone-built ruins of a historic cottage. Surrounded by native birch and rowan trees, the plot enjoys an exceptional degree of peace, privacy, and seclusion. Sweeping views stretch out across the picturesque Strathavon countryside, capturing the timeless beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Planning & Development Potential: There are currently no active or historical planning applications in place for the site, providing a clean slate for the incoming purchaser. This allows an exciting chance to work with the local planning authorities (Moray Council) to design a bespoke residential project that harmonises modern living with the rich heritage of the existing historic structure. Services & Access: There are currently no services directly on site, though mains electricity lines run adjacent to the plot. Prospective buyers will need to make their own arrangements for utility provisions: drainage will be to a private septic tank, water supply is anticipated to be via a private source such as a borehole, and purchasers will be responsible for all connection works and costs. Access to the property is provided via a shared access track.

Avonside - Avonside, nestled in the heart of Glenlivet, is a truly enchanting locale. This serene corner of Scotland is as renowned for its sweeping landscapes as it is for its sense of peace and tranquillity.

Glenlivet itself is a place of timeless beauty, home to rolling hills, verdant valleys, and picturesque waterways. Here, the river Avon gently weaves its way through the land, lending Avonside its distinctive name and character. This tranquil waterside setting affords Avonside an atmospheric charm that is both captivating and restorative.

The community in Avonside is as warm as the scenery is beautiful. It's a place where neighbours become friends, and the rhythm of life is dictated by the changing seasons and the abundant local wildlife. Whether you're watching the morning mists lift from the valley or admiring a spectacular sunset over the Cairngorms, life in Avonside is a constant celebration of nature's spectacle.

Transport Links - Located in the heart of the Highlands, Glenlivet offers a number of convenient travel options for local, regional, and international travel.
