Validated planning for a detached three-bedroom home within walking distance of Macallan Distillery.
Approximately 1.07 acres (4,318 sqm)
This generous 1.07-acre plot in Cossack Wood offers a rare chance to build a detached three-bedroom home in Speyside. Planning consent (ref 13/00648/AMC) has been validated after commencement of works, and the site has already been partially cleared, giving an immediate, tangible route to delivery.
The plot is sheltered by mature woodland to the south and affords open countryside views to the north. Mains water and mains electricity are close by, mobile signal is excellent, and the site sits within walking distance of the Macallan Distillery and the Speyside Way — appealing for outdoor and whisky enthusiasts. Elgin, with broader amenities and a train station, is about 15 miles away.
Buyers should note several important practical points: foul drainage will require a private solution that meets statutory requirements, broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and tenure is listed as unknown. The location is rural with limited local services and an official wider area classification indicating higher deprivation, which may affect resale or rental appetite.
Priced at £80,000, this plot will suit a purchaser wanting a countryside home or a speculative builder able to manage on-site drainage, utilities connections and rural access. The validated planning consent is the principal value driver, but practical service connections and planning compliance costs should be budgeted for before purchase.
