Barrahormid Trust Announce Houses For Sale as Renovation Projects

Mar 26, 2026 | Housing, Land

Great news that the Barrahormid Trust have been successful in being awarded planning permission in principle as an initial step towards bringing buildings – some of which have been lived in within recent memory – back to residential use. A great opportunity for those wishing to build themselves a livelihood in Mid Argyll. For more details, see barrahormidtrust.org/community/homes-for-sale

 

Plots will be sold with Rural Housing Burdens, carrying a commitment to live in a property as the primary residence. Tayvallich Initiative supports Rural Housing Burdens as a positive way to encourage more people to live and work in the area in tandem with the important tourism economy enabled by holiday letting in the area. A good balance helps the economy and community to flourish.
