Description
The Ulva peninsula and Isle of Danna, located at the southern tip of the Tayvallich peninsula, are part of a unique and ecologically important area recognized for its biodiversity and species of importance. The property, comprising nearly 445 acres, features a mix of grassland habitats, temperate Atlantic rainforest, and coastal and marine areas, including saltmarsh, mixed intertidal sediments, and native oysters. The current owner, Highlands Rewilding Ltd, is focused on restoring and connecting these habitats, reducing browsing and grazing pressure to encourage natural regeneration, and monitoring the area's biodiversity and carbon credits. The property offers a unique residential and amenity opportunity, with a existing dwelling, outbuildings, and further development potential, as well as stunning coastal frontage and a beach. The vendor's preference is for a buyer who recognizes the landscape's value and is willing to work with Highlands Rewilding Ltd to ensure continued management in accordance with nature recovery and community prosperity principles.
