Description

This property presents a compelling investment opportunity, featuring both the potential to create a bespoke eco home and the chance to restore the existing croft house. Spanning approximately 0.581 hectares (1.44 acres), the site is located conveniently near the River Helmsdale, enhancing its desirability for sustainable living. Planning permission has been secured for a new single-storey, three-bedroom detached house designed by Haus Timber Frame Homes, offering a solid foundation for further development. Additionally, with services such as electricity, water, drainage, and telecom already in place, the groundwork for renovation and construction is significantly simplified. The existing structures provide an opportunity to redevelop or enhance the site further with plans for a new garage and even off-grid renewable energy installations like wind turbines or solar panels. The potential demolition of the derelict croft house opens avenues for further expansion or creation of additional dwellings, making this an attractive prospect for investors looking to maximize their returns in a picturesque Scottish setting.
