Description

This idyllic plot of land on the picturesque Orkney Island of Shapinsay offers a unique opportunity for a self-build holiday cottage or camping/caravan site with breathtaking sea views. The approximately 201.48sqm freehold plot is situated near the Lairo water, a renowned wetland for birdwatching, and is just a short distance from the main settlement of Balfour, which has a regular ferry service to Kirkwall. The Orkney Islands, known for their stunning landscapes, low crime rates, and quiet island life, have been voted the best place to live in the UK for eight years. With the rise of staycations, now is the perfect time to set up a holiday getaway, and this plot provides an incredible investment opportunity. The plot could be used as a camping/caravan site, with current fees ranging from £15-£30 per night, or as a self-build holiday cottage, subject to planning consents.
