Set within Royal Deeside, this 6.55-acre house site at Glencommon Farm offers a rare self-build and smallholding opportunity. Planning Permission in Principle was granted in December 2024 (APP/2024/1247), giving a clear route to a bespoke home surrounded by open fields and wooded boundaries. Electricity, water and telephone are nearby, and mineral and sporting rights are included insofar as owned.
The plot is large and private, suitable for someone seeking space for gardens, small-scale agriculture or a secluded country home. Excellent mobile signal and proximity to Banchory (around 3 miles) make the site practical for day-to-day life; Aberdeen is roughly 18 miles away for wider services and commuting.
Buyers should note material practical points: broadband speeds are slow, drainage must be installed privately by the purchaser, and any new access requires the appropriate consents. The wider area shows signs of rural deprivation and the tenure is unspecified — these matters should be checked during legal due diligence. The land may be available separately from the building plot; purchasers wishing to buy the land alone should enquire further.
This opportunity suits a self-builder, investor or smallholder prepared to manage on-site services and access arrangements. It combines generous acreage and planning progress with the realities of rural development in a quieter part of Aberdeenshire.
