Mains electricity and water located close; connections required

Newly formed access road in place to the plot

Approximately ten miles to Oban for wider services and transport
Located in an ageing rural neighbourhood; wider area shows deprivation
Set on an elevated site above Barcaldine, this generous freehold plot offers sweeping views over Loch Creran and surrounding countryside. Full planning permission for a detached dwelling was granted on 2 April 2025 (Ref: 25/00231/PPP), giving a clear route to build a substantial home with generous grounds and privacy.
Mains electricity and water are located close to the site, and a newly formed access road serves the plot, reducing upfront access work. Drainage will be by private septic tank and soakaway and is the purchaser’s responsibility to install. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average, making the location suitable for remote working while enjoying a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle.
The plot is around 0.8 acres, gently sloping to flat and bordered by established trees. Local amenities are limited in the immediate village, with more comprehensive services and transport links in Oban about ten miles away. The setting will appeal to buyers seeking privacy, strong views and scope to design a bespoke home, but it is less suited to those wanting immediate local shops or frequent public transport.
Buyers should note the wider area is described as an ageing rural neighbourhood within an older farming community and the broader locality registers high levels of deprivation. There is no flood risk recorded for the site. Prospective purchasers should factor in costs for utility connections, septic installation and any landscaping or groundwork to realise the approved scheme.
