Summary - Land At Millden, Balmedie, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB23 AB23 8YY
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large serviced parcel with future planning upside near Balmedie village.
Approximately 98 acres of permanent pasture and mixed woodland
A rare 98-acre parcel on the outskirts of Balmedie, formerly East Aberdeenshire Golf Course, offering gently rolling permanent pasture, pockets of semi-mature woodland and a small pond. The land sits with an east–south-east aspect at 20–70m altitude and is currently used for sheep and cattle grazing and occasional haymaking. Grade 3(2) agricultural land, it has not received inorganic fertiliser for around 15 years and may suit organic production. On-site water is understood to be available.
The site has clear development potential: electricity, a 9-inch water main, BT and gas mains run close by, and the main sewer pipe lies roughly 0.25 miles north. The vendors are promoting the land for inclusion in the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2029, and planning bids have been made previously. The purchaser is permitted one residential dwelling without triggering a clawback payment.
Important constraints: the land is not zoned in the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan 2023 and any future non-agricultural consent carries a 25% uplift clawback payable to the seller for 25 years from completion. Inclusion in future plans and successful planning applications are not guaranteed, so development value is speculative. The wider area is classified as very deprived and ageing suburbanites, which may influence planning and market dynamics.
This holding will suit an investor or developer prepared to manage planning risk, or a farmer seeking a large, well-serviced grazing block with organic production potential. Its coastal location, good road links to Aberdeen and nearby services in Balmedie add practical appeal while the clawback and absence of current zoning keep risk and negotiation levers clear.
