Description
Extending to 35.40 hectares, Gateside is a mid-rotation, mixed woodland displaying good growth rates amongst the conifer crops and offers real potential as a mixed-use commercial forest. Ranging from 155m to 180m above sea level, Gateside is located on reasonably productive soils, well suited to the growth of both conifers and broadleaf species.
Taken as a whole, Sitka spruce intimately mixed with a small element of larch accounts for 24% of the total area (8.36 ha) and Scots pine intimately mixed with oak accounts for 10% (3.49 ha). Broadleaf species account for approximately 32% of the total area and include birch, oak, ash and sycamore. Gateside is offered as a Whole or in two Lots, both comparable in size and species distribution, separated by the public road. The woodlands are in an area with a rich mining history, and both lots have features related to historic mining activities.
There are no active grant schemes in place or replanting obligations. Further information on the Scottish Rural Development Programme and grant scheme availability can be accessed through the following websites:
A sub-compartment map is available on request from the Selling Agent along with a compartment schedule detailing species, areas and planting years.
