Summary - GLENQUICKEN FARM, NEWTON STEWART, CREETOWN DG8 7ET
1 bed 1 bath Not Specified
High-yield woods with planting approval and major development potential.
Approximately 350 acres productive conifer plantation (mainly Sitka spruce)
Lot 2 at Glenquicken is a large, income-focused forestry holding extending to c.435 acres, of which about 350 acres are productive conifer plantation largely planted in 1992. The seller projects an annualised timber income in excess of £100,000 based on the quality, yield class and planned felling rotations. An Approved Long Term Forest Plan (LTFP) is in place, with three remaining felling phases beginning in 2030 and approved new woodland creation for roughly 30 hectares (75 acres).
Practical advantages include good forest road formation, reduced extraction distance through linked tracks, and proximity to the A75 trunk road for haulage. There is already road formation through the approved new planting area and circa 15 hectares of open ground within the current LTFP that could be planted or used differently. The site offers clear diversification potential: species diversification and approved new woodland (mainly Sitka spruce with 15% hybrid aspen), plus a lapsed planning consent for a retreat centre at the ruinous Craigneuk Steading.
Significant upside exists from renewable energy. The purchaser may enter a 12-month exclusivity and option agreement for RME to consider Lot 2 (and Lot 3) for a wind scheme of three to five turbines (proposal references very large 350m structures). This could create material additional income streams; commercial terms and option payments are available in the data room. Equally, turbine proposals and any major development carry planning, visual and community-consent risks and will require separate assessment.
Buyers should note operational and timing matters: the LTFP requires renewal by 2030, the planned felling phases commence 2030, and projected timber income depends on future markets and harvest timing. The Craigneuk Steading is ruinous and its prior planning has lapsed. Interested parties should request access to the seller’s data room for full technical, forestry and commercial papers before committing.
