Land with sea views

A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial 1950sqm freehold plot of land located in front of the famous Lairo Water, offering stunning sea views. This plot presents an ideal opportunity for a holiday escape or bolthole, or potentially as a building plot with the correct planning permissions. The location in Orkney is renowned for its beauty, fresh air, and low crime rates, consistently ranking as a desirable place to live. The plot is roughly rectangular in shape with views across Lairo Water and Veantro Bay, and is not located within a green belt protected area. While planning permission is subject to investigation and necessary consents, the potential exists to develop a peaceful and tranquil dwelling. Land ownership is generally considered a stable investment, free from business rates or yearly taxes. This freehold plot offers a secure purchase, with transactions handled via solicitors. It represents an excellent opportunity for future investment or a personal retreat in a unique and beautiful setting. Shapinsay itself is one of the Orkney Islands, with its main village Balfour providing ferry access to the Orkney Mainland. The island features diverse landscapes including ayres (storm beaches) and lochs, contributing to its scenic appeal. Orkney as a region is noted for its high quality of life, including good employment levels, strong educational outcomes, and excellent health and happiness scores.
