This generous 0.3-acre building plot at Cruachan View, North Connel, offers an uncommon chance to design a bespoke home in a quietly scenic setting. Planning permission in principle (Argyll and Bute ref 23/01757/PPP) is already granted, and services are reported to be nearby, making the site appealing for self-builders or buyers seeking a rural retreat within easy reach of Oban.
The plot enjoys open countryside outlooks with potential views towards Loch Etive and Ben Cruachan, and Ben Lora in the other direction. Its semi-rural position provides natural privacy and a sizeable area for house placement, garden and landscaping. Mobile signal is excellent, with average broadband speeds—suitable for modern rural living, though broadband performance should be confirmed for heavy users.
Important practical points: planning permission in principle is not the same as full consent, and buyers should check conditions and next steps with the council. Ground investigations, connection costs for utilities and precise service locations have not been confirmed and may affect build costs. The local area is described as remoter communities and the wider area classified as very deprived, which may influence access to some services and long-term resale dynamics.
Overall, this freehold plot is well-suited to buyers who value rural privacy, scenic views and the opportunity to control a custom build. It represents a lower-priced entry into the Oban area’s building land market, but requires a buyer prepared to progress planning, confirm site services and manage the practical aspects of building in a remote location.
