This property offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a piece of land with remarkable potential. Spanning approximately 1/4 of an acre, the site boasts stunning, unobstructed views of Loch Snizort, the Ascrib Islands, and the Trotternish peninsula. Its location adjacent to the Gillen Township road ensures straightforward access for development.
The site previously received detailed planning consent in 2006 for a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-storey home (planning reference 06/00153/fulsl). While some preliminary work has been completed—such as site levelling and septic tank installation—prospective buyers should verify the current validity of planning permission or explore new options tailored to their vision. Additionally, the responsibility for connecting water and electricity falls to the purchaser; however, it is believed that these utilities are readily available nearby.
Waternish itself is approximately 25 miles northwest of Portree, Skye's principal town. The area provides essential amenities including a pub and reputable seafood restaurant, alongside public slipways and moorings. For more extensive services, Dunvegan is around 12 miles away and offers shops and a medical center. The vibrant Portree is equipped with secondary schools, recreational facilities like a swimming pool and cinema, as well as various shops and eateries.
The region is not just scenic; it's also rich in wildlife, making it popular among nature enthusiasts and walkers. Residents may find opportunities to spot minke whales, basking sharks, dolphins, sea eagles, and deer in their natural habitat.
