An exciting opportunity to acquire a prime development extending to approximately 3 Acres, benefitting from panoramic views across the Sound of Mull

Situated within the coastal settlement of Arle on the Isle of Mull, The Development Land at Drumbuie North offers buyers an opportunity to acquire a sizable residential development plot extending to an area of approximately 1.21 Ha (3 acres) and benefitting from panoramic coastal views across the Sound of Mull.

The site is accessed directly from the road, with the newly formed entrance leading straight onto the land.

This exciting development opportunity benefits from full planning permission for the development of a single residential dwelling, details of which are available on the Argyll and Bute planning portal under reference 21/00848/PP

The comprehensive plans are available from the selling agent. It should be noted that a “meaningful start” has been made, resulting in the planning being offered in perpetuity.
Mains electricity is located a short distance from the site, and mains water runs along the roadside, adjacent to the plot. It is anticipated that a private sewage treatment system will be installed as part of the build process.

The site enjoys a popular setting, within easy commuting distance from Tobermory, Salen and Craignure. Given the land area of 3 acres, the site represents a wonderful lifestyle opportunity for those looking to relocate to this magical island.

The village and property are conveniently located, so perfect for exploring the whole island.

The colourful harbour town of Tobermory provides an excellent range of dining and shopping opportunities as well as offering primary and secondary schooling, a medical centre, churches, a golf course and a distillery.
