- Land size
- 1.98 acres
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 0.8 hectares of land in a secluded position within Cunnister on Yell. The land, located at Map Grid Reference HU 526 966, with the remainder of the croft registered with a separate crofter. The plot offered for sale is clearly defined and under separate ownership, with no rights or claims held by others. Prospective purchasers may apply to the Crofting Commission for a 'Division of Croft,' which, if approved, would establish the land as its own croft with a unique name and registration number, granting full crofting rights and associated entitlements.
The good grazing land slopes gently down to a fence bordering croft land below and also stretches to an access road to the right. There are stunning views to the left and right of the voe, with the shore close by at approximately 100m away. Good for sea fishing. The area enjoys stunning views of the voe and surrounding countryside and is rich in wildlife. Rare birds such as the Rose Coloured Starling, King Eider, Golden Plover, and White Winged Scoter have been recorded locally, while marine life includes Killer Whales, Risso's Dolphin, and occasionally Humpback Whales. Puffins, seals, otters, and Shetland ponies are also frequently seen, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.
The land lends itself to a variety of potential uses, such as an artist's studio, a meditation bothy or retreat, or even a birdwatching sanctuary, taking full advantage of the peace, scenery, and wildlife that surround it.
