Summary - GULLEN LODGE, LYBSTER, OCCUMSTER KW3 6BB
1 bed 1 bath Land
Character stone ruin with substantial redevelopment potential near Lybster.
Approximately 1/3 acre generous plot with countryside outlook
A rare rural renovation opportunity on a generous c.1/3 acre plot in Camster, Occumster, offered at a low guide price. The site contains a partially built former crofting cottage of stone and slate construction, currently taken to wall plate height and requiring completion. Water is present to the site and a road access is already in place, making this a strong candidate for someone prepared to manage a countryside rebuild.
Planning was previously granted for a two‑bedroom cottage, but any buyer should expect to apply for new planning to meet current standards. The property is in an exposed, remote location with excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband; there are very limited local services and the area is classified as very deprived. These factors suit a buyer prioritising seclusion and low land purchase cost over immediate connectivity and local facilities.
Practical positives include the substantial plot (rare in the area), stone construction that retains character, nearby woodland and countryside outlooks, and proximity to Lybster amenities and attractions. Wick is accessible within a thirty‑mile drive and provides wider services, hospital, rail and an airport.
This is a straightforward project for an experienced self‑builder, developer or investor. Expect significant renovation work, planning applications and modernisation to achieve a finished dwelling — the site is not currently habitable and will need full completion to meet building regulations.
