Off-Grid Cabin in Balmule Valley

Just a 5-minute drive from Dunfermline and an easy 35-minute commute from Edinburgh, this off-grid cabin is the ultimate retreat for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Situated opposite a scenic, trout-stocked pond, it offers your very own peaceful countryside bolt-hole. The property perfectly balances tranquil natural surroundings with quick, convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and city attractions.

The plot is leasehold with 10 years left remaining, and is transferable to the new owner on completion of the purchase. The owner tells us that a further extension of the lease is possible beyond the 10 years, subject to application and payment of relevant fees. There is a monthly ground rent fee of £118, which is subject to annual increases in line with inflation. The plot extends to some 270² Metres and the property directly looks over the water.

An enviable position over-looking the water
