Large commercial woodland parcel with mature timber and development potential near Aberdeenshire sawmill..
Substantial commercial woodland with mature Sitka spruce and Japanese larch
Part of a larger Aberdeenshire woodland portfolio, this substantial landholding offers mature commercial timber and wide-ranging forestry potential. The largest woodland is about 24 ha within the portfolio; overall acreage is described as huge, suitable for timber management, amenity planting or agricultural diversification. Proximity to Aboyne (approximately 30 miles) places the site within reach of the region’s largest commercial sawmill, supporting immediate timber-market access.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal across the site and a plot offering expansive countryside views and privacy. The woodland species mix—Sitka spruce, Japanese larch, Scots pine and mixed broadleaves—supports varied management options and potential revenue from selective felling; small pockets of windblow have been noted, primarily in an eastern conifer stand following recent storms.
Material considerations you should know: broadband speeds are very slow, the tenure is unspecified and council tax information is unknown. The wider area records high local qualification levels but the immediate area is classed as very deprived, which may affect planning, services and local workforce availability. Access points are from the B9077 / South Deeside Road, but site-specific access or infrastructure improvements may be required depending on intended use.
This offering suits purchasers seeking an investment in commercial woodland, a long-term forestry project, or larger-scale land use change subject to consents. It is presented as a raw, substantial rural asset—good timber present now, with further value achievable through active management or development planning.
