Description

Located just outside the attractive village of Auldearn near Nairn, this proposed site for a four-bedroom dwelling house is approximately .22 acres and is surrounded by agricultural land on three sides and a detached farmhouse and land that adjoins the site to the north. A tarmac road that leads through Auldearn is directly to the front of the land.

Surrounded by mature shrubs, the land is level and rectangular; mains water and electricity are nearby, and access is via a shared drive to the farmhouse. The full planning permission includes provision for a four-bedroom detached house, with a drive for parking and areas for front and rear gardens.

When completed, the property has the potential of beautiful views overlooking agricultural land and woodland in the distance. Within commuting distance of Inverness, Nairn, Forres Enterprise Park and Elgin, this site offers a fabulous opportunity for someone who works in any of these areas, or is considering moving to Highlands with their own business.

Benefiting from good broadband and mobile services, well-serviced road links to the site, and a thriving and welcoming community, Auldearn is a desirable location in a delightful and easily accessible part of the Highlands.
