Large freehold plot with estuary frontage and strong development potential.
Lot 1 zoned for possible future development under local plan
This substantial freehold holding on the edge of Creetown offers a rare combination of development potential and estuary frontage. Lot 1 is explicitly zoned in the Dumfries & Galloway Local Development Plan for possible future development, giving strategic value to builders, land bankers and local investors. Lot 2 provides direct estuary frontage (title to the river midpoint) and roadside access, offering recreational or ecological appeal alongside possible ancillary uses.
The site benefits from excellent mobile coverage and fast broadband, dark sky status within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve, and easy road access to Newton Stewart (around seven miles) for shops, services and a high school. There is a well‑used public footpath crossing the boundary between the lots—an important established right of way included within Lot 2’s plan.
Important practical points are straightforward: Lot 2 cannot be sold before Lot 1, the zoning is for potential future development rather than an extant planning permission, and the area is classified as very deprived which may influence grant opportunities or local demand. There is no identified flood risk, but purchasers should confirm infrastructure connection costs and any ecological or habitat constraints related to the estuary frontage and biosphere designation.
For investors or developers seeking a large, roadside site with estuary views and planning potential in South West Scotland, this holding offers clear upside. Due diligence is recommended on servicing, planning timetables and the implications of the public path and environmental designations before exchange.
