Summary - Rhitongue, Tongue, IV27 4XW IV27 4XW
1 bed 1 bath Land
Elevated sea and hill views with planning potential for a bungalow.
Near 10-acre registered croft plus ¼-acre decrofted building plot
This rare coastal holding in Rhitongue combines near 10 acres of registered croft land with a ¼-acre decrofted plot, offered with planning in principle for a two-bedroom bungalow. The elevated position delivers wide sea and hill views and a secluded setting suitable for a permanent home, holiday let or land-based enterprise. The land is predominantly fenced and extends to approximately 4 hectares, providing scope for small-scale agricultural use alongside the building plot.
The croft is subject to crofting tenure and the Assignation of the Tenancy of Croft 115 Rhitongue is registered (S2255). Any purchaser who wishes to take on the croft tenancy must obtain approval from the Crofting Commission; enquiries should be made directly with the Commission. The decrofted plot is freehold and planning in principle has been granted for a bungalow, which shortens the route to development but does not replace full planning consent and statutory requirements.
Practical drawbacks are important to note: the location is very remote with limited local services and higher travel times to secondary schools and major shops (Thurso c.43 miles). Mobile signal is average and broadband speeds are very slow, which will affect remote working and some modern services. The area is classified as very deprived and potential buyers should factor in additional costs and timescales for infrastructure, utilities connections and any required building consents.
For buyers seeking seclusion and character, this holding offers genuine development potential and strong landscape value. It suits someone comfortable with rural living and the administrative requirements of crofting law, or an investor prepared to manage planning and infrastructure work to create a distinctive coastal property or holiday accommodation.
