A substantial 6.85 ha (16.95 acre) parcel in Carron Valley offering agricultural and forestry classification (Class 5.2 and F4). The plot includes a charming B‑listed stone bridge over the Faughlin Burn and sits close to reservoir fishing and existing hutters, giving potential amenity and low‑intensity tourism interest. Vehicular access is in place and the land may suit buyers seeking woodland creation, biodiversity net‑gain projects, or exploratory shepherd‑hut/campsite proposals, subject to planning.
Important constraints are clear: the plot has no planning consents, is adjacent to a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and SEPA maps show surface‑water flooding risk along the eastern and western boundaries. The listed bridge brings heritage consent requirements that could complicate works. Broadband is very slow and tenure is not specified; the lot will be sold at auction.
The wider area supports agriculture and outdoor recreation, with grain merchants, machinery services and local markets nearby. Denny village is within three miles for everyday needs, and the M9/M876/M80 network gives reasonable road access to Stirling, Falkirk, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Priced at £40,000, this is a low‑entry opportunity for a buyer prepared to manage planning and environmental constraints and invest in improvement or conservation objectives.
This lot will appeal to developers of low‑impact tourism, land managers seeking forestry or habitat creation, and investors targeting rural asset acquisition, provided they factor in the listed structure, flood fringes, SSSI proximity and slow connectivity.
