Description

The property is a woodland plot located in a rural area of Scotland. It features a Sitka plantation with good access and a promising income source from timber sales. The woodland has a mature area of decidious planting and a smaller area of slower-growing trees.

A nearby woodland with an old croft has recently gained planning permission for a new build house. The property borders a large area of moss, a rare and ecologically valuable habitat that attracts various ground-nesting birds and insects. The surrounding landscape remains largely unaltered and unpolluted, with clean waterways and thriving wildlife.

The property has good access roads, a metal gate, and includes sporting rights. The woodland is situated in a quiet area on the edge of the Flow Country, near the Forsinard Flows National Nature Reserve.
