A portfolio of land in a “stunning coastal setting” in Scotland has been put up for sale.
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and Strutt & Parker are bringing to market what they describe as “an interesting and varied portfolio of land located in a stunning coastal setting on the west coast of Scotland”, at Auchtertyre in Wester Ross. The land totals 346 acres. It is being marketed for sale as a whole, with offers over £995,000 invited, or in four lots.
Potential to construct an “extravagant” coastal property on one of the lots is flagged, with the possibility of a caravan park also highlighted.
Another of the lots has consent for the building of 38 houses.
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and Strutt & Parker said: “The land is situated close to the village of Auchtertyre, 5.5 miles from Kyle of Lochalsh, known as the gateway to the Isle of Skye, and the world-famous Eilean Donan Castle.”

“The sale extends to 346 acres and comprises an interesting mix of development, agricultural and amenity land.”
Euan MacCrimmon, director at Strutt & Parker in Inverness, said: “As well as the active residential development consents, the sale provides some interesting opportunities for amenity buyers with an interest in natural capital to develop a small coastal estate.”
