Land For Sale £375,000
Introduction
Clochandighter extends to 41.49 hectares (102.52 acres), comprising 33.61ha of commercial conifer species or thereby, and the balance comprising mixed broadleaves, and open ground. This is an opportunity to acquire a mixed woodland offering potential (subject to obtaining the necessary felling permissions) for income generation from timber sales and flexibility in species choices for restructuring.
Location and directions
From Aberdeen city centre take the A92 south. On crossing the Bridge of Dee, continue for three miles and take the slipway to Findon. At the first roundabout take the third exit and continue for 200 yards to a second roundabout, taking the second exit. Follow this road for approximately one mile and turn right signposted to Maryculter, continuing on this road for approximately two miles. 200 yards beyond the property ‘Birken Braes’ turn right and immediately first right and proceed along this road for 150 yards to the entrance to the property.
Access
A forest road extends for approximately 10m into the property and thereafter access is on foot from this point, over well-defined paths. The C30K public road is classified as an Agreed Route in the Timber Transport Forum’s Agreed Routes Map.
Description
Clochandighter was established in 1961 and has partially gone through restructuring. Remaining mature crops are dominated by stands of Lodgepole pine /Hybrid larch in mixture (11.9ha), and discrete stands of mature Sitka spruce (approximately 3.13ha), and Lodgepole pine (1.89ha). Windblow is now endemic in the Lodgepole/Hybrid larch and extensive in the Lodgepole pine. The mature crops exhibit good form and provide an opportunity for timber income, subject to gaining the relevant permissions. Second rotation commercial crops, established in 2009, comprise Sitka spruce in mixture with Scots pine and larch, extending to 16.69ha or thereby. These are showing vigorous growth. Areas of mixed broadleaves and open ground, created in 2009, have been supplemented by naturally regenerating conifers. There is an extensive network of open ground associated with service wayleaves.
Please note, there are differences between the compartmented area and area according to Title. The Property will be sold according to Title.
The registered title area is shaded purple on the sale plan.
