Sea netting rights at the mouth of the Ythan Estuary
17 principal pools offering bank and boat angling opportunities
Car park access at Newburgh beach; multiple bank access points
Freehold tenure; no recorded flood risk
Corf House and 0.6-acre site available separately for development
Rural location: 13 miles from Aberdeen, remoter communities classification
Slow broadband, average mobile signal; area shows high deprivation
This rare freehold offering comprises double-bank salmon and sea trout fishing rights across approximately four miles and 670 acres of the tidal Ythan Estuary. The fishings include sea netting rights at the estuary mouth and provide both bank and boat angling on 17 principal pools, making it a standout sporting asset for anglers and specialist operators.
The location delivers strong sea trout sport throughout the season with consistent catches recorded. Car park access at Newburgh beach and multiple public access points along the banks make the fishings readily reachable. The site lies about ½ mile from Newburgh, 4 miles from Ellon and 13 miles from Aberdeen, balancing remoteness with practical connectivity to regional services.
Practical considerations are straightforward: tenure is freehold and there is no flood risk recorded. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average; the wider area is classed as established farming communities with a local classification of remoter communities and higher levels of deprivation. Corf House and an adjoining 0.6-acre site are available separately and may suit storage, redevelopment or operational buildings subject to planning.
This holding suits specialist investors, angling clubs, conservation interests or private owners seeking an extensive coastal sporting estate. Potential buyers should factor in the rural location, essential site management for fisheries, and any planning or operational works needed to realise development opportunities.
