Land For Sale £120,000
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this generous croft of thirty acres which has stunning sea views. There is a ruinous croft house, as well as a byre, which could be transformed into a large family home, subject to planning consent with services nearby. In addition, planning has also been granted for a further site (15/01137/preapp), making this an excellent opportunity for those who wish to work the land and have a small holding.
The croft is in a prominent hilltop location and looks primarily facing hillside with fabulous coastal and woodland views. There is a single-track road that runs down to the croft with water and electricity close by. Drainage would be to a septic tank. The lower part of the croft is more pasture than the rougher hill grazing above, which forms most of the area adjoining the shared access road.
The croft in the past has been supported by sheep, pigs and cattle, and offers scope for diversification. Due to its close proximity to the NC500 route, there is also an opportunity to run a small glamping business, and a caravan park, subject to planning consent.
The house sites are both on relatively flat areas of ground and each has extensive views over land and sea. Additionally, there are level areas of land both above and below the road which provide scope for building agricultural sheds or polytunnels. A burn forms at the foot of the boundary of the croft, and deer, foxes, birds of prey, can frequently be seen here.
The village of Lybster has a harbour, hotels and a primary school. There is a bowling club, and also a nine-hole golf course. Secondary education can be found in Wick which is a short bus journey away. Lybster is on a bus route, and is located off the main A9 Wick to Inverness road. Further facilities such as supermarkets, the Caithness General Hospital, and John O Groats Airport are located in Wick, which is approximately a twenty-minute drive.
