Description

An exciting Highland riverside opportunity with fishing rights and potential for future residential development, subject to planning permission in stunning location in the amazing Western Highlands of Scotland.

This substantial parcel of land in the scenic surroundings of Spean Bridge. Known as Salmon Fields on the supplied site plan, the land extends to approximately 35,600 m (3.56 hectares / 8.8 acres) and enjoys a setting alongside the River Spean.

The size and location offer considerable potential for buyers wishing to explore the possibility of building houses, subject to obtaining planning permission and all necessary consents. Whether considering a future residential proposal or a longer-term land investment, this is an opportunity to acquire riverside land in an attractive Highland setting.

No planning permission is currently in place. Any future development would be subject to the relevant approvals, and no particular number of houses is approved or guaranteed.

The River Spean frontage is a key attraction, offering a distinctive setting and direct access to the surrounding natural landscape. Fishing rights are included, adding a further dimension to the purchase. Their precise extent, permitted use and any associated conditions should be confirmed through the title documentation and legal pack.

The land benefits from riverside access and fishing rights, adding appeal for buyers drawn to the surrounding countryside and outdoor lifestyle.

For purchasers seeking land for personal enjoyment, the riverside surroundings offer an attractive base for spending time outdoors, wildlife watching and photography. The holding could also appeal to buyers interested in conservation or land management, subject to any applicable restrictions and consents.

Spean Bridge sits within Lochaber, close to the Great Glen and surrounded by the mountain landscapes of the Western Highlands. Salmon Galleries, Nevis Range and wider Ben Nevis area contribute to the location's appeal, with opportunities for walking, mountain biking and exploring some of Scotland's most dramatic scenery.
The village provides local amenities, while nearby Fort William offers a wider range of shops, restaurants, services and transport connections. Access to the A82 and A86 places the land within reach of destinations across the Highlands, combining a rural setting with practical accessibility.

To reach Salmon Galleries from Fort William town centre, follow the A82 towards Inverness and Spean Bridge. After passing the 30 mph sign on entering Spean Bridge, turn right onto the A86. Continue past the primary school and Braes Guest House on the left, then proceed approximately 50 metres beyond the guest house before turning right into the gated access to Salmon Fields.

Combining approximately 8.8 acres, riverside access, fishing rights and scope to explore future housing proposals, The Salmon Galleries offers an opportunity for buyers with a vision for its future.

A substantial riverside holding combining fishing rights, recreational appeal and longer-term potential in an established Highland village location.
