Description

This exceptional opportunity presents a unique chance to acquire an owner-occupied croft situated on approximately 14.70 hectares (36.33 acres) at Croft 2 Garalapin, Portree, on the stunning Isle of Skye. The property comes with Planning Permission in Principle, granted in June 2021, for a single or one-and-a-half storey dwelling, along with agricultural planning for an agricultural building. This combination of crofting land and residential development potential makes it an attractive proposition for crofters, lifestyle buyers, and those looking for long-term investment opportunities in one of Scotland's most desirable locations. The de-crofted site offers exciting possibilities for the development of a new dwelling, subject to relevant conditions and approvals. With extensive land available, there is considerable scope for various crofting and rural uses, including agricultural, grazing, equestrian, or hobby farming. The generous acreage allows for the establishment or expansion of lifestyle interests while enjoying the privacy and character associated with traditional Skye crofts. Nestled in the peaceful Garalapin area, the property is surrounded by some of the island's most renowned landscapes. Portree, the principal town on Skye, is conveniently located nearby and provides a wide range of amenities including shops, restaurants, schools, and professional services. The Isle of Skye is celebrated for its breathtaking natural beauty and offers excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits such as walking, hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching. This rare opportunity to acquire a substantial croft with a de-crofted development site and Planning Permission in Principle is likely to appeal to a wide range of purchasers seeking both land and residential development potential in an outstanding part of the Isle of Skye.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents a rare chance to secure a substantial croft on the beautiful Isle of Skye, with approximately 14.70 hectares (36.33 acres) of land. The property offers potential for both agricultural use and residential development, having received Planning Permission in Principle for a new dwelling. While the asking price of £150,000 is notably below the local average, which is encouraging, the lack of specific floor area details limits the assessment of value per square foot. This creates a unique opportunity for someone looking to invest in land with development potential in a sought-after location.

Although the existing home may require significant renovation, the vast acreage provides ample scope for various uses, whether for creating a dream home or establishing agricultural pursuits. With the scenic backdrop of Skye’s landscapes and the amenities of Portree nearby, this property could be transformed into a charming rural retreat or a thriving agricultural venture. However, potential buyers should be aware of the light renovation projects that may arise as they develop this site further.
