Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Once in a lifetime opportunity

  • Set in almost 9 acres of beautiful beachfront land

Once in a lifetime opportunity to own your own beachfront dream property on the secluded Scottish Island of Eday- Scotland's haven for Wildlife Watchers.

This lot includes an existing house and brick barn/ blacksmith forge, approximately 9 acres of land and planning permission in principle for the erection of an additional dwellinghouse. (OIC ref 23/116/PIP).
The land includes fishing rights and hunting rights.

The existing properties will require refurbishment but offer potential for residential dwellings or holiday accommodation thanks to the beautiful location. These may present an extremely lucrative opportunity.

The planning permission on the land offers the opportunity to build an additional property on the land- creating potential for a massive uplift in value on this site.

This opportunity is presented in a position that is almost unrivalled for access to nature and marine life. Birdlife thrives on Eday. Whimbrel and red-throated diver breed, as do puffin and black guilemot amongst the huge seabird colonies on the red standstone cliffs of Red Head, the eastern cliffs, and the uninhabited island of Calf of Eday.

Marine life is abundant and this plot offers an outstanding vantage point to catch a glimpse of Orca, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Pilot Whales, Porpoise, Dolphins, Fin Whales and Basking Sharks.

Costa Del Orkney offers access to local amenities including schooling and local shops on the beautiful Isle of Eday.

Eday lies at the centre of Orkney's North Isles and offers abundant access to wildlife, archaeology and natural history. It is often referred to as 'mini-Orkney' as it offers the best of each of the neighbouring islands. Beautiful Beaches, Craggy Ciffs, Heather-clad hills and a plethora of ancient attractions.

Regular services to Orkney Mainland via ferry and the island is serviced by regular flights between Eday Airport and Kirkwall- 10 minute flight costing approximately £30-£40.

Eday is steeped in history and local attractions include the Stone of Setter, Vinquoy Chambered Cairn, Sands of Mussetter and the beautiful Mill Loch.

The land and property are not connected to crofting and are offered on a 100% freehold basis.

This property is scheduled for auction on 18th December 2024 but seller has indicated that pre-auction offers may be considered.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
