Lot 4 – Armadale Woods and Ardvasar Workshop

Located at the southern end of the estate, and adjacent to the village of Ardvasar, this is an attractive block of mixed coniferous and deciduous woodland with considerable amenity appeal. Lying on a gentle slope with south-easterly aspect, there is vehicular access into this lot directly from the public road and also via the tracks leading through lots 3 and 5.

The compartments of woodland are of varying age and offer the combination of future income from thinning/harvesting plus considerable amenity, lifestyle and outdoor activity benefits.

The existing tracks are perfect for walking, mountain biking and riding/pony trekking and other forms of outdoor activity.

Included within this block is a workshop building comprising a pair of adjacent concrete sheds together with a selfcontained storage shed. These buildings are accessed directly off the main road and may have various alternative uses, subject to applying for and obtaining planning consent.

Towards the southern end of this lot is an area of hard standing which is ideally suited to the development of a general purpose building, subject to satisfying permitted development rules or with appropriate planning consent.

This property has 78.99 acres of land.

Situation

The Armadale Castle Estate is located on the eastern shoreline of the Sleat peninsula and at the southern end of the Isle of Skye. Access to the peninsula is excellent with the A851 leading south from Broadford being a two-way road which has benefitted from extensive upgrading during the last 20 years. The village of Broadford provides a range of basic amenities including shop, petrol station, hotels and restaurants and can be reached in about 15-20 minutes’ drive from the estate.

From Broadford, the A87 connects to Kyle of Lochalsh on the Scottish mainland via the Skye Bridge and is around 30 minutes’ drive from the estate. As an alternative form of arrival at and departure from the Sleat peninsula, Caledonian MacBrayne operate a daily ferry service from Armadale to Mallaig on the Scottish mainland where, in turn, ferry sailings operate to the ‘Small Isles’ of Eigg, Rum, Muck and Canna. The journey time from the estate to Inverness (either via Kyle of Lochalsh or Mallaig) is around 2 hours’ driving time depending on the time of day and season.

With its combination of a majestic landscape including world famous features such as the Old Man of Storr and the Quiraing, the Fairy Pools and Kilt Rock; internationally renowned hotels and restaurants including Kinloch Lodge, The Three Chimneys and the Michelin-star Loch Bay, Skye is recognised as one of the most attractive holiday destinations in Europe.
