Extensive crofting land with development potential

Glenmore, IV51 - Get Access

Description

This extensive crofting land comprises approximately 850 acres (344 ha) located within a prime location on the breathtaking Isle of Skye. Split into four parcels, the property offers vast spaces for cultivation and grazing. This exceptional crofting opportunity features assignation subject to Crofting Commission approval, with purchasers required to reside within 32 km of the croft. With a tenant's right to buy available at 15 times the annual rent, this represents a remarkable investment. A commitment to livestock maintenance and holding or obtaining necessary entitlements is essential, with Region 1 entitlements negotiable separately. Outstanding potential in renewable energy awaits, with the land suitable for 200–300m wind turbines yielding an impressive return of £30,000–£40,000+ per turbine annually. There is further scope for solar development, and proximity to the new SECC grid connection to the Outer Hebrides enhances its allure. The annual rent stands at a mere £190, owing to a Forestry Commission tenancy. Encompassing a collection of bareland crofts with shared hill grazing, complete with a CPH number, the land boasts a mix of arable and grazing spaces, offering excellent potential for livestock and serving as a blank canvas for agricultural pursuits. Located on the Isle of Skye, renowned for its dramatic landscapes and enchanting beauty, the area offers a unique lifestyle blending rural charm with stunning natural scenery. It is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with activities ranging from hiking in the Cuillin Mountains to exploring its rugged coastline. Skye's rich cultural heritage and vibrant local community make it a truly special place.
