Land for sale

Land At Forse, Lybster. KW3

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to purchase approximately 14 acres of croft-registered land, ideally located near the picturesque village of Lybster and directly on the renowned North Coast 500 route. This expansive parcel of land enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views across the dramatic Caithness coastline and rolling countryside—perfect for those seeking a tranquil rural lifestyle or a sustainable development venture.

Fully enclosed and stock-proof, the land is ideally suited for agricultural use, with the added benefit of potential diversification. Subject to appropriate consents, up to half an acre can be decrofted to accommodate a house and garden, providing an ideal setting for a new home with spectacular vistas. Planning permission has been granted for a poly tunnel up to 23m x 9m x 4m.

Support is available through the Crofters Commission, offering grants of up to 60% (or a maximum of £25,000) towards the cost of fencing or constructing agricultural buildings. Furthermore, with the commission actively promoting diversified uses of croft land, there is exciting potential for alternative enterprises, such as glamping pods or tourism-related ventures.

As a patron of The Caravan and Camping Club, there may also be the possibility—subject to local planning regulations—of establishing up to six caravan or tent pitches, making this a highly attractive proposition for those looking to capitalise on the growing tourism sector in the Highlands.

This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial and versatile piece of land in a truly breathtaking location. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full potential of this unique offering.
