The Old Bothy, Balliemore, Glenrinnes, AB55 4BX

Guide Price £70,000

A development opportunity in a beautiful rural

setting.

An interesting plot of land extending to

approximately 1 acre with a one room bothy in a

derelict state, set in the local landscape of

Glenrinnes.

Plans were drawn up by the current owner, and

approved in November 1997, though this has

expired over the passage of time. Planning approval

reference number 97/01294/FUL

Location:

The site sits comfortably in the local landscape, to the west of

Dufftown heading towards Glenlivet. Set in a beautiful

unspoilt landscape and superb, uninterrupted views to Ben

Rinnes & Meikle Conval.

Directions: From Dufftown, head west on the B9009 for

approximately 2.6 miles. Turn sharp left and follow the tarred

road for 0.3 miles. The access gate to the old Bothy at

Balliemore is off the left hand bend on your right.

Access: Currently is on foot with no visible path across the

Balliemore burn. You will then see the corrugated iron shed

for the old generator and the remailing walls of the old Bothy.

Services:

The current owner received permission via the acting land

agents in 1996 to source a private water supply from Jocks

Hill to the south of the site. Electricity, the owner had the

notion of a water generator on the site in Balliemore Burn.

Alternatively, there is an electricity line running alongside the

Dullan water at the bottom of the valley. Please note, any

outlays and costs, incurred or associated with planning

and servicing requirements would be the responsibility

of the prospective purchasers.

Viewing: Unrestricted viewing is available, though any

viewer must be aware there is no defined pathway beyond the

access gate. It would be appreciated, if prospective

purchasers consider neighbouring countryside and land and

that the gate to the site be closed on leaving.
