Description
A 66.72 acre block of productive woodland with good access in a desirable location and restocked with productive confiers.
Bahill wood is a mixed species woodland extending to 27.00 hectares (66.72 acres) or thereby. The wood comprises 14.3 hectares (35.34 acres) of primarily spruce, larch and scots pine restocked in 2021. These compartments have been recently beaten-up to maintain a planting density of 2,500 trees/ha for the conifer species and 1,600 trees/ha for the broadleaves, providing a strong foundation for future growth and long-term timber potential.
In addition, the woodland features 12.7 hectares (31.38 acres) of mature mixed species and open ground. A species plan indicating the separate compartments is available upon request.
According to the James Hutton Institute the land is primarily classified as grade F4, being land with moderate flexibility for the growth and management of tree crops. There are no outstanding grants in respect of the woodlands. The woodland benefits from direct access off the public road, identified as Point A on the plan, where a formed bellmouth entrance and timber stacking area are already in place, facilitating straightforward access.
