Woodlands At Peak Hill, Sidmouth, Devon, EX10

A substantial block of woodland in a sought after, east Devon location.

Description

This extensive block of woodland offers an exciting investment opportunity which in this location, rarely becomes available. In all, the woodland comprises 163.04 acres of mixed woodland, managed commercially and split into two blocks with 21 compartments of varying ages and species. The principal species is Douglas fir at about 31.1%, followed by mixed broadleaf plantings covering 26.7% of the woodland area. Corsican pine makes up 13.5%, and Japanese larch accounts for 12.8%. Scots pine, Western red cedar, other mixed broadleaves, and open ground make up the rest of the woodland.

Recently replanted areas are thriving, with slightly older restocking sites from 2015 showing great promise with excellent vigour to young crops. Internal rides enhance access and enjoyment of the woodland. With a weighted average age of 38 years and the oldest compartment being 118 years old, this woodland promises a thriving natural environment and a sound investment. This woodland not only offers immediate enjoyment but also holds great potential as a long-term investment, and whether you’re looking to use the site for amenity purposes, conservation or an investment for the future, this is an opportunity that rarely presents itself to the open market.

Location

Located less than a mile west of the coastal town of Sidmouth in East Devon, this block of woodland is highly accessible yet is surrounded by open countryside on three sides creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. The woodland benefits from an excellent local road network connecting east and west. The woodland lies between 130m and 190m above sea level, offering predominantly east-facing views with some south and north-facing slopes.
