A rare riverside building plot extending to about 0.83 acres (to be confirmed by title deed) set in mature woodland beside the River Snizort. The site offers private river frontage and comes with two-rod salmon fishing rights — a strong lifestyle and leisure asset that will appeal to anglers and buyers seeking a secluded natural setting. Full detailed planning permission for a four-bedroom one-and-a-half storey house was granted in July 2006, providing an established route to build.
The plot sits quietly within the historic grounds of Skeabost Bridge, around 7 miles from Portree, with scenic walks and woodland around the site. The central area appears largely cleared and level, and services are believed to be close by; however, it is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm connection availability and any site-specific constraints with the local authority and statutory providers.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the planning permission is dated (2006) and any alternative design — such as the sellers’ proposed Dualchas split longhouse — would require fresh consent. Mobile signal is average and broadband speeds are slow; the wider area is classified as very deprived and the site is in a remoter rural community. These factors affect ongoing living convenience and resale considerations but are typical for rural Isle of Skye plots.
Overall this plot suits a buyer seeking a private, characterful riverside location with clear development potential and fishing rights. It will particularly attract those prepared to manage remote-site logistics, confirm services, and either implement the existing permission or secure new planning for a design more suited to the woodland setting.
