A rare, large-scale Highland holding offering diverse income streams and strong natural capital potential. Extending to about 3,604.37 ha (c.8,663 acres) with part of Loch Oich, the estate combines in-bye pasture, rough hill grazing and established native woodland. The Glen Buck hydro scheme (c.2MW) is leased until 2065 and is expected to produce rental income in the region of £50,000 per annum.
The estate suits an investor or natural capital developer seeking scale: there is clear scope for woodland planting, peatland restoration (estimated 300,000–1,000,000 carbon units over 100 years subject to survey) and further renewables, with an existing exclusivity arrangement in place for a potential wind extension. Two substantial holiday-let dwellings plus bothies and practical estate buildings make on-site management possible from day one.
Buyers should note material practicalities: much of the agricultural land is Grade 4–6 and suited mainly to extensive grazing; one bothy is uninhabitable and requires full renovation; broadband speeds are very slow and the local area is remote with an ageing rural population. Key commercial arrangements (hydro lease, planting options and developer exclusivity) will require review in the data room and legal due diligence.
Overall, Glen Buck offers a high-amenity Highland landscape with immediate income and significant long-term development and natural capital opportunities for a purchaser equipped to manage a large, remote estate and the planning and investment work that will unlock further value.
