Nether Kypeside Little Lochs is a substantial 52.6‑acre freehold site in rural South Lanarkshire, offering level grassland, mature woodland and three man‑made ponds. Its scale and variety of landscape features make it a strong candidate for a leisure‑led redevelopment, particularly given previous outline permission for 25 chalets and associated facilities granted in 2018 (South Lanarkshire refs CL/12/0391 and CL/16/0398).
The site benefits from excellent road links to the M74 and M8, strong mobile signal and fast broadband — practical advantages for a tourism, holiday‑let or rural residential scheme. The ponds and woodland provide natural assets that would support an attractive visitor experience or high‑quality rural homes, but will also require careful ecological and planning consideration.
Important constraints are factual and material: the previous outline planning must be reinstated or a new application submitted; ecological, access or servicing requirements connected to the ponds and woodland are likely; and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may influence local demand and funding assumptions. Buyers should treat this as a development opportunity requiring specialist planning, ecological and infrastructure feasibility work before committing.
Overall this is a rare, large rural holding with clear development potential and strong transport links — suited to an experienced investor or developer prepared to manage planning reinstatement and environmental considerations to realise leisure or residential value.
