Description

**Old Coastguard House, Kildonan, Isle Of Arran** This is a unique opportunity to invest in four building plots located in the picturesque village of Kildonan on the Isle of Arran. With breathtaking views of Ailsa Craig and Pladda, these plots are well-positioned to accommodate a range of potential development projects, whether for personal use or for rental income. The local area is known for its natural beauty and rich wildlife, making it desirable for those who appreciate outdoor activities. Just a short walk away, you’ll find a sandy beach that serves as a sanctuary for otters and seals. The village itself features essential amenities and is conveniently situated near Whiting Bay, which offers additional shops, cafes, and leisure options such as a golf course. Each plot has received in-principle planning permission, allowing for the construction of bespoke homes—ideal for families or as holiday residences. Potential designs could include single-storey bungalows or 1.5-storey villas featuring approximately 130-140m² of living space with three to four bedrooms. While utilities are not yet connected, they are reportedly nearby, facilitating future construction efforts. Kildonan is discreetly positioned off the main coastal route and boasts attractions like Yellowport harbour—a safe mooring spot for small boats—and easy access to local dining options. The surrounding region continues to develop as more homeowners turn towards self-building initiatives on the island. For those interested in further investment opportunities or community engagement, nearby Lamlash offers more extensive services including secondary education facilities and medical care. Brodick—the main ferry port—is just 12 miles away and provides regular connections to the mainland alongside diverse retail options. Beyond its immediate benefits, the broader Isle of Arran presents numerous recreational pursuits: from hiking in its scenic hills to exploring distilleries and local breweries. This area is increasingly attractive not only for personal enjoyment but also as a potential source of rental income given its appeal to tourists seeking an authentic Scottish experience. Overall, these plots present an excellent canvas for personal vision while also carrying significant investment potential in a thriving community setting on the Isle of Arran.
