An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial general-purpose building situated on an elevated, private site between Keith and Dufftown in Moray. The property comprises approximately 12.5 acres (5.05 hectares), including the former quarry area extending to 3.25 hectares (8 acres). The building benefits from solid infrastructure including electric roller doors, internal office space, and extensive yard storage areas.

Housed within is a 100kW biomass boiler (installed 2015) generating a Renewable Heat Incentive income, alongside three Proven 15kW wind turbines (installed 2010) producing additional revenue. The site was formerly used as a landfill by Moray Council, now fully restored and covered with topsoil. The sellers note the title includes obligations for Moray Council to address legacy landfill issues, but buyers should conduct their own due diligence.

The access road, included in the sale, offers scope for widening to accommodate agricultural or articulated vehicles, enhancing the site’s commercial flexibility. Surrounded by mature tree screening, the property provides excellent privacy and potential for diversified uses subject to planning consent.

Directions:

From Keith, take the B9014 towards Dufftown for about 4 miles. Turn right before crossing the Burn of Towie and follow the tarred road, passing left at ‘The Hoose’ until reaching the property. Please note two locked barriers on the access road; all viewings are strictly by prior appointment.
