Mains drainage will be connected once development takes place

Slow broadband and average mobile signal — limited connectivity

Set on approximately half an acre in an elevated position, this coastal building plot enjoys open, panoramic views over Dunnet Bay. Planning in principle (application 21/04290/PIP) has been granted, making the site a clear development opportunity for a custom home or a small rural investment. Water and electricity are nearby and mains drainage will be connected when built.
The plot is accessed from a private road and will share responsibility for its upkeep. The surrounding area is rural and peaceful, positioned between Mey and Castletown with sandy beaches, forest walks and Dunnet Head Lighthouse within easy reach. Castletown offers basic local services, while schooling is available at nearby Castletown Primary School.
Buyers should note a few important practical matters: full planning permission is not yet granted (planning in principle only), tenure is stated as unknown, and the locality is classified as very deprived which can affect resale and local services. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider if remote working or connectivity are priorities.
Overall this is a strong opportunity for someone seeking a roomy coastal plot with proven development potential and striking bay views. It will suit buyers prepared to progress from planning in principle to full permission and to manage rural service limitations and shared road maintenance.
