A once in a lifetime opportunity to build your dream eco friendly house, or even off grid site. May be suitable for multiple uses (subject to investigating and satisfying planning consents)

It is the understanding of the auctioneers that Highland Planning department have indicated that a fresh application to renew the lapsed planning would be considered in a positive light.

Lybster lies approximately 13.3 miles south of Wick on the A99 trunk road and has a good community base with a primary school, pre-school, post office, medical centre and shopping facilities.

Rare development opportunity in Caithness. 2.5 acres of land with outline planning (expired) for residential property. Not often available in this highly desired rural area setting. Highland Planning department has indicated that re-newal of planning will not be a problem. The original owner applied for 2 houses then split his plot into 2. If you search Highland Council, planning applications and enter the ref no 04/00240/OUTCA into the search box you can view the application. This is the larger of the 2 red boxes. Good access from the lane, and as can be seen on the plans for the site, the plot actually owns the access to the plots from the road. Water and electric at hand. A once in a lifetime opportunity to build your dream eco friendly house, or even off grid. It has an excellent average wind speed, perfect for turbine and battery bank set up. Plus of course solar panels for those windless days. There is a burn running through the top of the property but I am unsure if it is suitable for a water turbine. It certainly will allow field drains to be fed into it for drainage. If building a family home you could easily triple your outlay comparing house prices in this very desirable area. As you can see on google maps/earth (search for KW3 6BB or 58°19'25
