This large 0.30-acre plot on Old Aberdeen Road offers a rare, affordable land purchase close to the A90 and Laurencekirk rail links. Previous planning (APP/2021/0599) was granted for a residential build but has lapsed; the council has indicated no anticipated issues with resubmission. Mains water is already connected; electricity and drainage are nearby and will require installation.
Priced for quick auction completion at £48,000, the site is suited to developers or investors seeking a low-entry opportunity in rural Aberdeenshire. Recent comparable house sales nearby reached around £285,000, indicating meaningful end-value potential once a build is completed. The plot is flat and accessible, with excellent mobile signal, average broadband speeds, and no recorded flood risk.
Location strengths include strong road and rail links to Aberdeen and Dundee, plus Aberdeen Airport under 40 minutes away for international travel. Outdoor amenity access is a major draw — the site sits close to the Cairngorms and local outdoor activity options. Note the wider area is classified as very deprived and a remoter rural community, which may affect local services and long-term demand.
This is a straightforward, practical opportunity: clear title freehold, sold at auction, and ready for a purchaser prepared to resubmit planning and arrange service connections. Buyers should factor in costs and timings for utilities installation and the planning resubmission process.
