DESCRIPTION The decrofted, owner occupied plot extends to 0.150 ha (approx 1/3 acre) and is for sale with outline planning consent. Water and electricity are nearby. A septic tank will be needed.

LOCATION This rural, crofting community is situated on the shores of Loch Ewe, Wester Ross. The former village school, which has been converted into a community centre with exhibition rooms, also has a very welcoming tea room with highly recommended home baking by the local villagers. The nearby village of Poolewe benefits from a Post Office/general store, a coffee shop, a hotel, church, village hall and an indoor swimming pool, all of which are only a short distance away. The world famous Inverewe Gardens, where you can enjoy a wander, are also in Poolewe. Nursery and primary schooling is available in the village of Aultbea. Primary and secondary schooling is available at Gairloch, where there is also a health centre, chemist; and more shops, restaurants, heritage museum, a golf course and churches. From the pier, fishing and whale watching trips can be arranged. The Highland capital city of Inverness is approximately 80 miles distant and offers all city facilities which include links by road, rail and air to further destinations. There are also regular bus connections. Ullapool is approximately 55 miles distant. There are walks of all standards in the area, ranging from Munros to gentle strolls along beaches and rivers. The peninsula and the surrounding area is an ideal location for golf, cycling, fishing, bird-watching or just relaxing.; whilst the locality of Inverasdale itself offers a rich and varied range of pursuits, such as many of the finest mountain climbs on this part of the West Coast, and a wide choice of hills for rambling and walking. The areas around Inverasdale and the wider Poolewe Peninsula contain a fascinating and diverse geological heritage and landscape, accessible to both serious students and also the general public alike. Among the many features within the vicinity of the plot are several fine examples of rock caves. Just a short drive to Cove at the tip of the peninsula, stands evidence of the second world war activities - lookout points, gun implacements and concrete installations. Today, these are happily replaced by sheep and cattle grazing in peaceful surroundings. There are well stocked trout lochs on the hill just above the site and another nearby, and wonderful rocky and sandy bays for sea fishing. The sheltered Loch Ewe (sea loch) offers excellent sailing conditions, with a slipway conveniently situated nearby for sailing enthusiasts. All in all, a peninsula to be enjoyed.
