Description
Gleann Mor Forest - 234.47 Hectares / 579.38 Acres
Glean Mor comprises a commercial conifer forest which was established in the 1970's. Some 73.51 hectares are currently being harvested. Completion of the felling is expected to be September 2024. The felled timber will remain in the ownership of the Seller. The restocking obligation extending to 54.80 hectares will be the responsibility of the Purchaser, see restocking table in the brochure. To date the property has been managed under a Long Term Forest Plan which expires 25th July 2024.
Once harvesting is complete, there will be some 99.03 hectares of Sitka spruce and 8.73 hectares of Japanese larch remaining. Yield Class is good and recent felling on other parts of the property yielded approximately 470 Tonnes/ha. The species table below summaries the composition of the crop once the current harvesting has been complete.
There is an attractive ancient woodland of semi native origin in the south western end of the property that adds considerable amenity including two small waterfalls. Parts of these native
broadleaves are designated under the Hells Glen Special Site of Scientific Interest. The majority of the property sits on the lower, south facing, slopes of Stob an Eas, Beinn an t-Seilich and Beinn an Lochain. The site rises from 50 to 400 meters above sea level. The average rainfall in this region is 2,600mm.
There is a radio mast close to the entrance of the forest which was erected in 2019. It has a 20-year lease in place with EE with a rental figure of £4,000 per annum. There is a second radio
mast currently under construction which will generate an annual rental payment of £1,200. Copies of the leases are available from the Selling Agent.
There is a current Statutory Plant Heath Notice on the property due to Phytophthora Ramorum in the larch which needs to be removed by 31st August 2026.
