FOR THE DEVEOPER - THE ENTIRE LOCH BORRALAN ESTATE

FIXED PRICE SALE £650,000

IF BOUGHT AS A WHOLE THE DEVELOPER WILL BE GETTING APPROX 35 ACRES WHICH WILL INCLUDE:

Plot (a) OUTLINE PLANNING for one FAMILY DWELLING. This slightly elevated plot to the east of Motel will have magnificent views and would be ideal to control the six chalet plots. There will be new access to the A837

Plot (b) OUTLINE PLANNING for one FAMILY DWELLING. This slightly elevated plot to the east of the Motel will have magnificent views and an access to the A837.

Plot (c) OUTLINE PLANNING For one FAMILY DWELLING to the rear of the existing holiday apartments will use the existing access and services i.e. water, electricity & sewage which equates to a very quick connection. Although it is the smaller plot it would be ideal for monitoring and servicing the motel apartments and has outline consent for garage, workshop, laundry room & reception with family accommodation).

Plot (d) OUTLINE PLANNING For one FAMILY DWELLING. Outline consent exists for this dwelling house. Sited to the west of the Bar and is shown in BLUE on the right on the plan above. This is the most favoured plot with its position being apart from the other plots, bar and holiday apartments and with uninterrupted panoramic views.

THE RIPARIAN AUTHORITY for the FISHING on Loch Borralan’s 118 acres with all of the available Loch frontage and boat bay. The purchaser will benefit from being the Heritable Riparian Authority (i.e. the rights to control of the bank fishing and boats on Loch Borralan - at present operating from the Motel Office).

THE LAST single house plot sold in this area fetched £75,000 - and it didn't have anything like the marvelous views, services and facilities that all these plots have here - so our price for the overall development is decidedly conservative.

All these slightly elevated plots have a magnificent all-round view over Loch Borralan which is worth millions and the sunsets are unforgettable. All dwelling houses can have a right to the fishing on the 118 odd acres of Loch Borralan. The Primary and High schools in Ullapool cater for all children and, because of this somewhat remote location, a coach pick-up operates daily for their transportation.

This development would show the purchasing developer a very handsome profit perhaps by simply selling-on the various plots, chalets, holiday apartments and fishing rights - retaining for their own use a good luxury house plot - or, indeed, building and developing the entire site which will generate very substantial profits.

WHY ARE WE SELLING??? This wonderful area is a hard place to abandon - but our move from here is somewhat forced upon us by a recently diagnosed medical condition As a result we are now in a position to offer the entire estate rather than proceed with our original long term plan for development of the entire estate on which we have secured Outline Planning Consent and our original intention was obviously to carry out this development ourselves in this spectacular area - which we have both loved and enjoyed for the last 20 years. The scenery, the people, the fishing, the hill walking and the living here is exceptionally good, comfortable and never stressful. This is an ideal opportunity for a developer or couple (young family?) who want to get away from the hectic life of the big city with its frenzied activity to experience a life changing, completely relaxed existence.

THE RIPARIAN AUTHORITY for the FISHING on Loch Borralan's 118 acres with all of the available Loch frontage acreage, boats and boat bay. The purchaser will benefit from being the Heritable Riparian Authority (i.e. the rights to control of the bank fishing and boats on Loch Borralan - at present operating from the Motel Office and for the past 200 odd years by the old Altnacealgach Hotel which the motel replaced after a disastrous fire). The fishing and extra land can be purchased to go with any house plot

(Any one house plot can be purchased along with the Hereditary Riparian Authority over Loch Borralan's 200 acres and could become the "Fishing Lodge” for which we expect offers over £150K for the plot including the fishing but this will have a very much larger area of land which will include the Loch frontage and boat bay.)

WHY ARE WE SELLING??? This wonderful area is a hard place to abandon - but our move from here is somewhat forced upon us by a recently diagnosed medical condition. As a result we are now in a position to offer all our land rather than proceed with the original long term plan for development of the entire estate on which we have secured Outline Planning Consent and we must now to leave the future development to someone with a little more energy than we can currently muster....

We have both loved and enjoyed this area for the last 20 years (8 years the Alt bar - the remainder the apartments). The scenery, the people, especially the fishing, the hill walking and the living here is good, comfortable and never stressful. This is an ideal opportunity for a couple (or young family) who want to get away from the hectic life of the big city with its frenzied activity to experience a life changing, completely relaxed existence.

WE CAN'T TAKE THE LAND WITH US WHEN WE GO so there is an awful lot of land we can add to each house plot - or even with one of the apartments shown below - at VERY nominal cost - try us.......
