Description
For Sale: Idyllic 1.8-Acre South-Facing Property with Planning Permission & Mobile Cabin
Nestled in a peaceful, rural setting with breath-taking views of farmland, rolling hills, and distant forests, this charming 1.8-acre property offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle, while remaining just minutes from transportation links and the vibrant towns of Elgin and Forres.
This fully fenced plot boasts full planning permission (ref 24/00480/APP) for a stunning 4-bedroom detached house, which can be built on the site of the existing uninhabitable stone cottage with its iconic red metal roof. The land offers incredible potential to create a beautiful family home in an enviable location.
A high-quality, 2-bedroom, mobile residential cabin is already in place, providing a comfortable living space on-site while you build your dream home or an ideal option for those wishing to enjoy a more permanent off-grid lifestyle.
Previously separated into 4 paddocks with the cottage in the middle, this lovely property is ideal for anyone with a passion for self-sustainability, offering ample space to grow fruit and vegetables, or even keep small livestock such as chickens and goats. The land is bordered by woodland, making it a haven for birds and wildlife, adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings. A path leads through the woods at the side of the property over to the A96 east of Alves.
The catchment primary school is Alves, which is a highly desirable small primary school with composite classes. The Alves village hall is within walking distance offering a wide range of social activities.
With its excellent mix of peaceful seclusion and proximity to modern conveniences, this property is a must-see for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace a more tranquil, sustainable way of life.
