Nestled within 4.5 acres of beautiful coastal terrain, Woodside of Benholm provides a remarkable opportunity for redevelopment into a custom home amidst breathtaking views of the North Sea and surrounding countryside. This elevated plot is strategically located between Montrose, Dundee, and Aberdeen, with the nearby village of Johnshaven offering essential amenities and a friendly atmosphere. The existing structure on the site is currently in a state of disrepair and uninhabitable; however, it presents an ideal blank slate for a visionary buyer looking to craft their dream residence. Essential services such as water and electricity are already available on-site, simplifying the development process. Additionally, a static caravan included in the sale offers immediate accommodation options or temporary living space during construction.
Previously granted planning permission (app/2015/2171) by Aberdeenshire Council allows for the change of land use to domestic curtilage and the erection of a new dwellinghouse. Although this permission has lapsed, it establishes an essential foundation for future redevelopment efforts. Past designs envisioned a spacious two-storey home encompassing approximately 258m2 that featured contemporary energy-efficient elements alongside traditional aesthetics such as a pitched slate roof and high-quality timber windows. Future building plans would need to comply with updated energy efficiency regulations while retaining the essence of this stunning site.
The predominantly well-kept open turf offers extensive possibilities for landscaping or equestrian pursuits, making it ideal for those who appreciate tranquility and nature. A charming tree-lined driveway enhances access to this unique property.
