Description

A unique opportunity to acquire a ring fenced block of mixed woodland amounting to a total of 64.94 ha (160.48 acres).

The previous crop of trees was harvested in 2022 and yielded 13,880 tonnes.

It was replanted in 2022/2023 as follows:

• 34 hectares planted with conifers planted at 2,700 trees per hectare and Broadleaves at 1,600 trees per hectare.

• A total of 68,000 Sitka Spruce, 17,550 Norway Spruce and 2,900 Native Broadleaves have been planted.

The vendor did not apply for any grant aid relating to these works and funded the cost of replanting himself, which included ground preparation, planting, weeding, Weevil spray and road repairs.

Dungarry Hill Fort Scheduled Monument is located in an elevated position on the property and is not planted.

Ideal for rough shooting and there are three ponds, formerly used for duck flighting. Natural watercourses run through the property. A small paddock is at the entrance to the property and is capable of being grazed by neighbouring farmers.

There is a hard road through the plantation with sharded access rights to a neighbouring plantation.

Location

From Auchencairn village turn right at the Primary School. Carry on and go past the cemetery on your right. Follow the road and go past Bluehill Farm on your left. Take the next right turn and follow the road through the farm. Once you reach the cattle grid, that is where the property starts.
