Buyers who want space and nature over restaurants and nightlife, and those planning to build their own home on a plot with a view.
What buyers should know
Shops and services are limited, and it is a long drive to the West Coast and the airport. Much of the parish lies in the Scotland District, so ground conditions and planning permission need checking with your attorney and surveyor before you commit.
