Land for sale

McEwan Fraser Legal are pleased to bring to the market this fantastic opportunity to purchase a self-build decrofted plot set in an elevated position looking over spectacular and uninterrupted views of Loch a’ Bhaile and natural terrain. The plot extends to a ¼ of an acre in the quiet and peaceful traditional crofting township and is close to many archaeological sites of interest.

Self-build offers the opportunity to create the perfect home designed to meet an individual’s requirements from the ground up by participating in the creative process, design stages and choosing contractors. A self-build also provides the opportunity to stipulate energy efficiency through thermal performance, air tightness and insulation.

Directions

From Stornoway, take the A859 Stornoway to Tarbert Road, and at Leurbost, take a right onto the A858. Travel to Tolsta Chaolais but miss the first turning into the village and take the second (by the garage). At the next crossroads, travel straight on (not into the village). The plot lies to the right in an elevated position marked by yellow posts (close to the path to Carloway Village, which is signposted). The what3words position provides an accurate location.
