Building Plot 12 at Pirates Cove<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Noss Head Lighthouse Station<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This substantial inlet and surrounding land marked as “Plot 12” provides a significant amount of protection from the elements as opposed to sea-facing cliffs in front of the main lighthouse tower. Maybe some interesting newbuild house mischief to be had…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This piece of spare land that we own up at Noss Head Lighthouse Station has some value. But what?<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

We have decided to opt for a nominal, low guide so that this genuinely unique piece of land can still be utilised for purely recreational purposes: whale-watching, wildlife observation etc.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

^^ Puffins Seem To Like Noss Head Lighthouse ^^<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They Are Regular Visitors & Full of Character.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is what we mean by a\u00a0<\/b>recreational<\/b><\/span>\u00a0guide price. In other words, for use as an enjoyable piece of land! If a planning permission is secured then that would be the icing on the cake as it is a sublime place to live.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

=> What if you managed to secure planning permission to build a home here?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

=> T<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span>hen this land would be worth a significant amount more than the current guide price.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In our 25 year experience, the Highlands have suffered de-population due to the need for jobs “down south”.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

But after the Covid pandemic, “remote working” has become fashionable, sometimes mandatory. As at 15th March 2023, we, as owners, just signed a contract allowing Open~Reach Telecom to install Optic~Fibre ultra-fast broadband alongside the old-fashioned landline systems.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

=> So “remote working” is eminently possible.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You might ask: “But what about the wet weather?” That tends to be on the southern west coast. Here at the north-east there are a couple of secrets. The weather tends to be much dryer<\/b><\/em>\u00a0(and <\/b>breezier<\/b><\/span>). The daylight is ample in the summer. <\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

=> There are 2 hours more daylight at Noss Head Lighthouse Station each day than there is in London.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Okay, the converse is true in the winter months: it is darker with the shorter daylight hours. But the positive aspect to that are the frequent visits of this <\/b>awesome<\/b><\/span>\u00a0phenomena…<\/b><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
