LOCATION
The Duirnish Peninsula is located in the north west of the island and is arguably one of Skye’s most scenic areas, a craggy, wild area of natural beauty stretching to the west from Dunvegan. Home to the Colbost Croft Museum and the acclaimed Three Chimneys Restaurant, the landscape is often dominated by the flat-topped ‘MacLeod’s Tables’. It is an ideal location for outdoor pursuits, with a wealth of beautiful inland and coastal walks to enjoy and an abundance of wildlife and birds to spot.
The nearest main village is Dunvegan which is approximately 8 miles away and here you will find a good range of local amenities including, medical centre, primary school, Post Office, garage, village hall, petrol station, grocery store, fruit and veg store, bakery, hotels, public bar and restaurants and the historic Dunvegan Castle. The island’s capital, Portree, is approximately 28 miles away.
DESCRIPTION
The decrofted house site extends to approximately 0.75 acres, the area has been fenced and cleared. There is already a serviced static caravan in-situ but this would require refurbishing and a septic tank installing. The croft land extends to approximately 9.4 acres split into 4 areas with a share in the common grazing included, which if taken as an apportionment would extend to an additional 25 acres or thereby. The ground in the past has raised cattle and is currently grazed by sheep. There is a stock shelter.
PLANNING REFERENCE - 13/04728/FUL
