Set in classic Nairnshire countryside, Plot 1 at Drumore of Cantray is a substantial freehold plot (about 0.286 ha / 0.70 acres) with full planning permission for a three‑bedroom detached home (Highland Council ref 23/03359/FUL). Mains water and electricity are provided on site and the plot includes the driveway access serving the neighbouring plot. The location offers a north‑westerly aspect, wide rural views and a peaceful setting roughly 25 minutes’ drive from Inverness.
The planning consent covers a generous one‑and‑a‑half‑storey house of about 170 m2 with open‑plan living, a study, utility, two en‑suite first‑floor bedrooms and private foul drainage to be installed by the buyer. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average — suitable for remote working but buyers should check provider specifics. The immediate area is agricultural/remoter communities countryside, appealing to buyers seeking seclusion and space.
Practical points are straightforward but important: foul drainage will be to a private treatment system and purchasers must satisfy themselves as to its design and cost, and to the adequacy of on‑site services. The plot lies in an area classified as very deprived, which can affect local service provision and future resale dynamics. There is no flood risk recorded.
This plot will suit a buyer wanting a ready planning position for a large family home or an owner‑builder seeking a scenic Highland setting with quick access to city amenities. It offers clear development potential but requires attention to the private drainage solution and confirmation of services before completion.
