A substantial development opportunity on the edge of Castle Douglas extending to approximately 17.79 acres (6.94 hectares). The site is allocated in the Dumfries and Galloway Local Development Plan as CSD.H3 (130 units allocated up to 2029), with direct roadside access from Ernespie Road and excellent links to the A75. Its size and allocation make it suitable for a large residential scheme, strategic promotion, or joint-venture housing delivery.
The land is predominantly grass used for grazing, well screened from the road by a row of trees and benefiting from countryside views. Utilities and detailed planning consents are not confirmed in these particulars; prospective purchasers must carry out their own due diligence with the local authority and utility providers. Mobile signal is reported as excellent and broadband average.
Buyers should note practical and market considerations: tenure is not specified in the information provided, the area is described as very deprived which may affect demand and funding, and the site sits adjacent to a Tesco supermarket and an industrial estate. Any development will require the usual statutory consents and likely further infrastructure contributions. Offers are invited from developers, investors or strategic promoters for purchase, option or partnership arrangements.
