A secluded development site based on the ruins of an old stone cottage situated in a delightful rural setting.

The development site at Marypark extends to about 0.25 ha (0.618 ac) and enjoys a peaceful setting in the attractive Isla Valley.  The nearest village is Drummuir about 1½ mile to the north which has a primary school.  More comprehensive facilities are available in the nearby towns of Keith (6½ miles) and Dufftown (3 miles).  Keith has a comprehensive range of shops and supermarkets and primary and secondary schooling whilst Dufftown provides essential services and is at the heart of the Malt Whisky Trail.   Aberlour on the River Spey is only about 6 miles from the property and provides additional services including swimming, bowling, tennis, library, doctor’s surgery and cottage hospital.  

The area has always been popular with visitors attracted by the beautiful scenery  and excellent leisure opportunities in the area.   The nearby Rivers Spey  and Deveron are famous for their salmon fishing.  There are also numerous golf courses in the area at Elgin, Dufftown, Rothes, Lossiemouth and a championship course at Nairn.  The Cairngorm Mountains are within easy reach for hill walking and skiing whilst locally along the Spey Valley there is an excellent Long Distance Path network.

The  site at Marypark offers an excellent opportunity to create a rural property of character on a spacious site of well over ½ acre.  The site is situated 250 metres from a minor public road and enjoys considerable privacy.  A hard surfaced stone track leads as far as the site, which comprises the ruins of an old stone cottage, garden ground and a useful area of  hardstanding, previously used as a timber loading bay. Outline planning permission has been granted to construct a 1 or 1½ storey house on the site.
