Description

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own your own beachfront land on the secluded Scottish Island of Eday- Scotland's haven for Wildlife Watchers.

The land has been measured at 21,804sqm (5.2 acres) and includes fishing rights and hunting rights to the land. 100% FREEHOLD LAND.

The land may offer potential for development (subject to necessary consents) in a stunning location with planning permission granted recently for development close-by.

Any development would create a considerable uplift in value on the land but the land offers immediate potential for camping/ glamping and outdoor pursuits.

This opportunity is presented in a position that is almost unrivalled for access to nature and marine life. Birdlife thrives on Eday. Whimbrel and red-throated diver breed, as do puffin and black guilemot amongst the huge seabird colonies on the red standstone cliffs of Red Head, the eastern cliffs, and the uninhabited island of Calf of Eday.

Marine life is abundant and this plot offers an outstanding vantage point to catch a glimpse of Orca, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Pilot Whales, Porpoise, Dolphins, Fin Whales and Basking Sharks.

Orkney Islands offers access to local amenities including schooling and local shops on the beautiful Isle of Eday.

Eday lies at the centre of Orkney's North Isles and offers abundant access to wildlife, archaeology and natural history. It is often referred to as 'mini-Orkney' as it offers the best of each of the neighbouring islands. Beautiful Beaches, Craggy Ciffs, Heather-clad hills and a plethora of ancient attractions.

Regular services to Orkney Mainland via ferry and the island is serviced by regular flights between Eday Airport and Kirkwall- 10 minute flight costing approximately £30-£40.

Eday is steeped in history and local attractions include the Stone of Setter, Vinquoy Chambered Cairn, Sands of Mussetter and the beautiful Mill Loch.

This takes you to the centre of the remnants of what we believe to have been a building on the site.

The land is not connected to crofting and are offered on a 100% freehold basis. The title includes beach, shingle and land to the average low tide mark.

This lot is scheduled for auction but the seller has indicated that pre-auction offers may be considered.
