Details

All plots are approximately ¼ acre. Currently, there are twenty two plots for sale. All have unbroken panoramic views over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh and Stirling. Plots are located on the edge of the sought-after village of Saline, which is situated about 6 miles north west of Dunfermline.

Whilst this is a steep site, the benefit is an unrivalled hilltop location and the truly stunning views that this affords.

Saline has rapid access via the B913 to Dunfermline and points south. It also accesses the B914 which connects to the M90 motorway with its rapid links to Edinburgh, Edinburgh Airport, Glasgow, St. Andrews. the Fife coastal villages as well as Perth and all towns northwards. 

The plot site is currently agricultural land. No development planning is available at present. However, no condition is ever permanent, and this may not always be the case. So the plots offer an interesting long term speculative investment in an increasingly popular area which has excellent access to the great cities of southern Scotland yet still retain magnificent rural aspects.

(Planning note: - The plots are attracting a great deal of interest and as such, a number of enquiries have been made to the local planning office regarding planning applications to build. The local planning office have contacted us to advise us that this land is currently not in a development zone and applications for any type of dwelling will not be considered. A request has been made by the planning office not to unnecessarily contact them regarding this site.

This is a medium to longer term investment opportunity. It is primarily aimed at people who want to own a beautiful piece of Scotland, but, at the same time, possess an asset that will never go down in value and may realise a very considerable benefit. Land values are rising relentlessly in Scotland and have increased many times over in recent years. Having such truly spectacular views, the land may well appreciate in value in the future.

Saline has a pub, hotel, post office and primary school. Its proximity to Dunfermline and Edinburgh makes it a perfect location for people working in those cities.

Saline Golf Club, established in 1912, (Fife is the original home of golf) lies immediately to the north of the plots and is our next door neighbour. The views from the greens are truly stunning and have to be seen to be appreciated. In one unbroken vista, from right to left, you will see the beautiful Ochil Hills, Stirling, the Wallace Monument and Ben Lomond beyond, the Firth of Forth, the world famous Forth Bridge and Edinburgh.

Access

Currently the plots are accessed on foot.

There is no vehicle access at present. However, the plots will be sold with full vehicle access rights across the land to the left (which is the sellers land). This land has access to the main highway.

It is planned to cut a track up to the plots from the road access. The track has now been constructed for pedestrian use although it should be possible to drive a 4x4 to the top.

There are currently no services on site.

Plots are offered freehold with no encumbrances covenants, burdens, wayleaves or management charges. There are, of course, no taxes associated with the land and no VAT is payable. The buyer will be provided with proper legal title, a deed plan and site map and each plot is marked and pegged to ensure that it can be easily identified.

Plots are for sale at an introductory price of £7950.  This is a “set price” offer (therefore avoiding the very costly and frustrating method of sale in Scotland traditionally known as the “offers over” system). All prices are completely inclusive, with no hidden costs or additional charges on top of the asking price.  No tax or stamp duty is payable. The only other cost is solicitor’s fees on the purchase. We can recommend solicitors if you do not have one or you can choose your own. (Purchasers should note that because of the special laws of Scotland, your solicitor will have to be a Scottish based practitioner).

Plots can be reserved on a deposit of £500. This will be deducted from the final price on completion (known as ‘settlement’ in Scots law)
