Farm LandDescription
Offered at auction, this owner-occupied croft at Garalapin extends to approximately 14.70 hectares (36.33 acres) and includes a de-crofted site. Planning Permission in Principle was granted on 2 June 2021 for a single-storey or one-and-a-half-storey dwelling, and agricultural planning is also in place for an agricultural building. Any development remains subject to the relevant conditions and consents.
The land is shown as crofting ground with road access nearby, in a rural setting a short drive from Portree. The listing identifies potential for crofting and other rural uses, subject to crofting legislation and planning requirements. Portree provides shops, schools, medical services and other amenities, while the surrounding island offers access to outdoor activities.
The sale includes the croft and the identified development site. Buyers should review the planning documents, crofting status, boundaries, access and any applicable conditions as part of their due diligence.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a very different kind of project from a house renovation: the photos show open, uneven croft land, with no dwelling or residential accommodation visible. The standout opportunity is the de-crofted site with planning permission in principle for a new home, alongside a substantial rural holding on Skye; the planning status, conditions and feasibility will need careful verification. The land is partly stony and rough, so this is a ground-up development proposition rather than a cosmetic refresh.
At £150,000, the missing floor area means value against local £/sq ft cannot be judged. The low overall opportunity score reflects the limited information available to assess price and project economics, rather than a confirmed value comparison.
Key opportunities
- Progress the de-crofted site towards a new home, subject to checking the planning permission in principle, its conditions and required consents.
- Make use of the approximately 14.70 hectares of croft land for suitable rural, grazing or lifestyle purposes, subject to crofting rules and planning requirements.
- Shape a new-build project around the rural setting, with gated access and a nearby road visible in the photographs.
Key risks
- No dwelling is visible and the ground is uneven and partly stony — plan for a ground-up build and site preparation, not an interior refresh, with a substantial programme to establish residential accommodation.
- Verify the planning permissions, conditions, crofting obligations and practical feasibility before relying on the proposed dwelling or agricultural building.
