Overview:
An elevated house site extending
to approximately 0.20 acres with Outline Planning Permission situated
in a stunning and highly desirable rural location with stunning panoramic
views across the Sound of Sleat towards the mainland and the island
of Eigg.
Location:
Aird of Sleat is at the southernmost tip of
the beautiful island of Skye. It has a stunning outlook over the Sound
of Sleat towards the islands of Eigg and Rhum to the southwest, to
the Ardnamurchan peninsula to the south, and to the sands of Morar
to the east. A car ferry operates from Mallaig on the mainland (some
40 miles west of Fort William) to Armadale. The crofting township
of Aird is located at the southern end of the Sleat peninsula and
is accessed by a single track road which makes an enjoyable journey
with spectacular scenery at every turn. It is approximately three
and a half miles from the village of Ardvasar and some twenty miles
from the larger centre of Broadford. Travel south from Ardvasar on
the A851 all the way to the end of the tarmac road where there is
parking. Walk back 50-100 yards to the last gate on the north side
of the road and go through this onto a rough track up the hill. Follow
the track some 300 yards, between two houses and then onto the hill
beyond. The site is situated above these residential properties on
the open hillside amongst the ruins of an old clachan.
Please remember
to close gates behind you and if you are taking a dog please keep
it on a lead. Both sheep and cows graze the surrounding land. Please
follow the Countryside code.

The site comprises a
roughly square area of ground on a slope. It is fenced with a concrete/timber
post and wire netting fence. There is a vehicle entrance into the

rough grass and rushes. The site is approximately 915 sq.m (1,100
sq. yards) or approx. 0.20 acre. Water and electricity services are

responsibility for the construction of an access road to the site
and for the installation and connection to services.
