This property encompasses a generous 0.6-acre parcel, accompanied by an additional approximately 2.93-acre paddock, providing ample space for various uses while boasting convenient roadside access. With full planning permission already in place for a dwelling house and a detached garage, this land presents a prime opportunity for those looking to invest in a residential project.
Nestled on the north-western outskirts of Muir of Fowlis, this site sits in a charming rural hamlet that offers both tranquility and easy access to the amenities of Alford, which is just a short drive away. Alford itself is experiencing growth and vibrancy, making it an appealing location for prospective residents. Local primary education is easily accessible at Craigievar Primary School, located just 1.5 miles from the property, while secondary education options are found at the Alford Community Campus—equipped with facilities including a swimming pool and sports hall.
The town of Alford hosts a variety of local shops such as butchers, bakers, and grocers, alongside essential services including a post office and Co-Op supermarket. Culinary offerings can be enjoyed at the Haughton Arms Hotel, known for its use of local produce in meals served in its public bar. Additionally, recreational options are available with an 18-hole golf course and the Alford Ski Centre nearby.
For those considering renovation or development potential, please note that both paddocks come with a clawback provision: if any non-agricultural planning permission significantly increases the land's value within 20 years of sale completion, the seller retains the right to receive 50% of that uplift from future owners.
Utilities such as mains electricity and water connections are situated nearby; however, these will need to be established by the buyer. The drainage system would consist of private treatment plant solutions per plot.
This property not only offers immediate opportunities for residential development but also benefits from being part of an evolving community with increasing demand for housing.
