LOT 3 – Badiebath Wood 43.16 Hectares (106.65 Acres)

Badiebath is a high amenity woodland but the main value is in 12 hectares of conifers. This includes 7.5ha of very high Yield Class Sitka spruce planted in 1993. There are also areas of mature larch. These areas could produce income in the next 5-10 years.

In late 2024 some 13.4ha of conifers were felled and there will be an obligation on the purchaser to replant this area. The roads were upgrade prior to the felling.

The balance of the area is made up of a wide range of broadleaves with a range of ages. This includes attractive mixed woods running down to the River Ythan at the south of the property.

The forest road access is gated and some road upgrades have been carried out prior to the previous felling works. The road leads to Gight Castle (ruins) out with the sale area.

A small quarry lies within the property and benefits future road and path maintenance.
