Glenkirk Wood offers 103.96 hectares (256.89 acres) of established conifer woodland in a scenic part of the Findhorn Valley. Large areas of mature crop planted in the 1960s are approaching harvesting age on generally level ground, providing straightforward extraction potential and immediate timber value. A recently built timber-haulage bridge and permissioned passing places support heavy wagon access.
There is clear scope to plan the next rotation: no Long Term Forest Plan exists and the buyer can agree future species composition with Scottish Forestry. Young crops from 2014/2016 are present on variable soils, and the existing deer fence reduces early restocking pressure. Parts of the property include alluvial soils and attractive riparian frontage beside the River Findhorn, and the sale includes stalking rights for red and roe deer (sporting rates apply).
Buyers should note a few practical constraints. The seller retains land beyond point A3 and will continue to use the access route A1–A4; maintenance of the access is on a user basis. There are small pockets of windblow and no fishing rights are included in the sale despite the river proximity. The site is remote with average mobile signal and fast broadband; local socioeconomic indicators are of higher deprivation, and any cabin or holiday development would be subject to planning consent.
Overall this is a substantial, well-served forestry holding for a purchaser seeking immediate harvesting income and the opportunity to shape a more productive second rotation. It suits forestry investors, land managers and those seeking large-scale sporting or conservation opportunities in the Highlands.
