Land for sale in Northton, Isle Of Harris HS3

A truly exceptional opportunity has arisen to purchase the tenancy of a croft which offers multiple building plots along with an already de-crofted plot with current planning permission to build a 3 bedroom bungalow and detached garage. Northton is located on the west coast of Harris in an area steeped in local history and unspoilt beauty which never fails to impress irrespective of the weather conditions. The scenic beauty of Harris is never too far away with undisturbed dramatic and rugged mountainous terrain, countless white sand beaches, turquoise coastlines and many outdoor pursuits readily available.

The plot, which extends to approx. 1/3 of an acre is set well back from the village road providing significant privacy in addition to having impressive tall established tress to either side. The site itself has had some ground work completed which will be a cost saving along with the supply of partially broken rock available on the croft which could also help form the access road. The seller would be willing to share quotes received for water, waste and electric connections. Copies of detailed plans may also be available under separate negotiations.

The croft extends to approx. 6.5 acres and not only offers building development opportunity but also has an existing Forestry Scheme covering 1.2 acres of native broadleaf trees located at the lower portion of the croft below the existing house site. There is a 20 year maintenance requirement and grant of about £400 per year for 5 years to ensure sufficient planting density. Subject to crofting commission approval the croft further offers equal opportunity to explore more diverse possibilities such as tourism and renewables allowing to interact between crofting lifestyle and exploring a tangible investment opportunity.

Local amenities include a School, community centre, community shop, Churches, café and golf course.

Directions to the property can be found with the selling agents.
