CLOSING DATE: Noon on 19 October 2017

The forest has been extended and enhanced by the current proprietors during their ownership. Operations are managed in-hand, with all forestry equipment owned by the estate. A broad range of age classes is serviced by a comprehensive network of forest roads, most of which have been upgraded to handle modern timber traffic and operational requirements.

The plantations are generally on easily worked, well-drained, gentle slopes and mineral soils. The forest contains reserves of mature timber for harvesting during the next 10 to 15 years, young crops that will move forward into a longterm thinning programme and areas of younger restock crops now well-established.

In addition to the strong commercial element, the owners’ passion for forestry has led to additional attention to detail not normally found in commercial forests.

A small area of agroforestry has been successfully established where protected broadleaves are under-grazed by sheep. Pockets of broadleaves have been brashed and high pruned; again, activities which are rarely carried out in commercial woodlands. The A827 provides good access out to the A9 and on to a number of forest processors. Some of the timber from Bolfracks has been converted into woodchips. Indeed, the estate has various contracts with properties with woodchip boilers in the vicinity.

This property has 1604 acres of land.
