Land

Rarely available in this sought-after area on the outskirts of Blairgowrie, this parcel of land may offer excellent potential for further development, subject to the appropriate planning consents being obtained.

The land is divided into two distinct parcels. The first comprises approximately 12.9 acres (5.20 hectares) of productive grassland and access track, registered as Smallholding No. 89-674-0071. The land is fully enclosed by fencing and has gated access. An area of hardstanding includes a workshop and a static caravan.

The grassland is served by a private water supply and a small man-made pond.

Adjoining the grassland, and accessed via a right of access across it, is an attractive block of woodland extending to approximately 2.66 acres (1.08 hectares). The woodland is predominantly stocked with Sitka spruce, providing both amenity and potential forestry interest.
