Fanblair Woodland extends to about 51.51ha (127.2 acres) of recently planted mixed species woodland in a lovely rural setting to the south of Kiltarlity. Planted in 2018, the wood which is almost rectangular in shape enjoys easy road access. It has been planted with a varied species mix including some 27.99ha of diverse conifers (mainly Scots Pine and Larch) and 12.95ha of native upland Birch. These areas are interspersed with areas of open ground (about 6 ha), some 1.5ha of natural regenerated woodland and gorse. There are several small pockets of existing mature woodland comprising Scots Pine and Birch. The woodland is a haven for wildlife with a noted Black Grouse lek. The trees are well established and appear to be growing well with little evidence of browsing by deer or hare. The site is securely fenced with deer fencing around the perimeter. The woodland at Fanblair sits between 320m and 260m above sea level and slopes gradually with a north-easterly facing aspect. The land is classified as F5 and F6 by the James Hutton Institute - Forestry Capability. In addition, there is a charming derelict detached bothy which offers development potential subject to obtaining all necessary consents.FORESTRY GRANT SCHEMEThe purchaser will be responsible upon occupation of the subjects of sale to comply with all ongoing management requirements to maintain the woodland as laid down under Forestry Grant Scheme Contract for the remainder of the scheme until 2038.
