Nestled within 4.5 acres of scenic coastal terrain, Woodside of Benholm presents a remarkable opportunity for those looking to develop a custom home in an exceptional environment. Elevated to maximize the breathtaking views of the North Sea and surrounding landscape, this prime location is conveniently situated between Montrose, Dundee, and Aberdeen, with the charming village of Johnshaven nearby providing essential amenities and a friendly community atmosphere. <br><br> The site currently features a partially dilapidated structure that is deemed uninhabitable, offering a blank slate for redevelopment. Essential utilities such as water and electricity are already available on-site, simplifying the process for future construction. Furthermore, a static caravan is included with the sale, which could serve as temporary accommodation during the renovation or initial building phase.<br><br> Previous planning permission was granted by Aberdeenshire Council (reference app/2015/2171) for converting land to domestic use and constructing a replacement dwellinghouse. Although this permission has now lapsed, it establishes a precedent for potential redevelopment. Initial proposals outlined plans for an expansive home of approximately 258m2 over two stories featuring modern energy-efficient elements such as a pitched slate roof and quality timber windows. A treatment plant and soakaway drainage system were also planned. While further applications will need to meet updated environmental standards, comprehensive planning documentation is available for review by prospective buyers.<br><br> The predominantly flat land is well-kept and offers extensive possibilities for landscaping, equestrian facilities, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Access to the property is via a picturesque tree-lined driveway.
