Ayton Woodlands is an extensive 35.54 ha (87.82 acre) block of mixed conifer and broadleaf woodland set in a remote agricultural area near Aberargie. The site combines commercial conifer compartments with amenity broadleaves, established internal forest roads and varied aspect, offering clear potential for ongoing timber management or recreational ownership. Productive stands include Norway spruce and larch with average yield classes; parts restocked in 2012 are now well established.
Practical access exists via a southern woodland track and an established entrance (What3Words: hairpin.indulgent.depth). Formal third-party rights are recorded: vehicle access for neighbouring owners (Barclayfield and Pitmedden Forest) and a core public path crossing the woodland. The site is not fully enclosed and boundary treatments vary from post-and-wire to stone dyke, with open sections along the eastern and western margins.
Material considerations are clearly noted: small areas of localized windblow, some ash affected by ash dieback, and a derelict former sawmill and ice house on site. A former quarry lies near these buildings. There are no known contamination signs, but no formal ground or mining stability investigations have been carried out. The property lies within a Less Favoured Area for agricultural support and may be eligible for forestry-related grants or reliefs, although none are currently recorded.
This freehold woodland suits buyers seeking scale — for timber production, mixed amenity use, or recreational stewardship. Prospective purchasers should investigate title burdens, servitudes and any sporting or rates documentation, and consider an ecological and ground-condition survey where required. VAT may be payable if the seller has elected to tax.
