Description

This substantial plot of land at Benlister extends to approximately 5.60 hectares (13.85 acres) and presents a unique opportunity for development in the highly sought-after village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. The site consists of a single block of temporary grassland, complemented by an attractive area of woodland along the Benlister Burn. Positioned just south of Benlister Road, the land is generally level and sits at an elevation of around 10 meters above sea level, which may enhance its appeal for future projects. The surrounding area features established residential developments to the north and east, offering a mix of private and housing association properties. To the west, the property boasts a picturesque outlook across neighboring farmland, striking a balance between village convenience and rural tranquility. Notably, part of the site is allocated for residential development in the North Ayrshire Local Development Plan, indicating its potential for housing projects with an indicative capacity for 20 residential units. Beyond its residential prospects, the remaining land could support various agricultural or lifestyle ventures, such as a market garden, smallholding, equestrian use, or other rural business opportunities, pending necessary consents. This flexibility allows buyers to explore both residential development and productive land ownership in this desirable location. Plans detailing the plot's extent and location are available in the Useful Documents section.

Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents an intriguing opportunity with substantial land extending to approximately 5.60 hectares (13.85 acres) in the desirable village of Lamlash. The asking price of £400,000 is notably high when compared to the local average sale price of £268,631, which suggests that the price may not truly reflect the land's potential value. However, the property offers development potential, as part of the site is allocated for residential use in the North Ayrshire Local Development Plan, indicating a pathway for future growth and investment.

The land's flat nature and proximity to established residential areas enhance its appeal, making it suitable for various ventures, including a market garden or equestrian use. Although the property requires further exploration and planning considerations, its unique attributes and location could provide an exciting canvas for a visionary buyer looking to create value in a sought-after region.
