It is rare for a woodland with its own loch shoreline and private beach, in what is a really special location situated south of Loch Ness, to come up for sale, especially as it has spectacular views in every direction.

The woodland is predominantly 50 year old Scots pine, with a small area of Sitka spruce and a larger area of native birch, rowan and willows. From the winter storms there is some wind blow of the pine.

Naturally the wind blow will involve some work, resulting in a healthy supply of firewood if required, but the vast majority of the trees are fine. Once the wind blow is cleared, it will create valuable clearings for camping opportunities, with potential for building a recreational hut, subject to the necessary permissions. Furthermore, there creation of clearings will allow sunlight to the woodland floor, encouraging ground flora and further diversity.

The timber that is down would provide plenty of firewood and the potential for milling into useful material. This woodland really has the "wow" factor! The trees go all the way to the rocky shore while on the on the southern side there is the private beach are;, a small section of which is included with the sale, the rest of the beach belongs to the neighbouring woodland .

An historic fence delineates this boundary with a modest path back to the road. At the road side there are a few large sitka that have come down and have been half cleared: once they have been fully processed it would open up a convenient entrance to the wood.

These woods will be popular so early viewing is recommended

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant

There is a growing interest in hut, bothy and temporary shelter building, especially in Scotland; for those interested in erecting a hut or shelter, here is some interesting and very helpful guidance from Reforesting Scotland’s Thousand Hut Campaign. Your Local Planning Authority should also be consulted.
