Description
This rare opportunity presents a 218.53 hectare (539.98 acre) property in the agricultural area of West Watten, Caithness, Scotland. The property comprises two owner-occupied crofts, 18 and 19, which include a 3-bedroom croft house and various outbuildings. The crofts offer a unique lifestyle with stunning landscapes, clean air, and proximity to nature. The village of Watten provides local amenities, while Wick and Thurso offer a wider range of shops and facilities. The property benefits from direct access from a public road and includes a range of features such as a solid fuel heating system, workshop, stabling, and storage sheds. The land is IACS registered and includes BPS entitlements, which generate an annual payment of approximately £10,200. The property is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Flow Country, a vast expanse of blanket bog that plays a vital role in the fight against climate change. Additionally, there is an existing agreement with Nature Scot for habitat management and ongoing negotiations for an Option and Lease Agreement related to the proposed Watten Wind Farm.
