Kilmonivaig Wood

Description 

Kilmonivaig Wood is a compact and attractive first-rotation commercial conifer woodland, established in 1975 with a productive crop of Sitka spruce. The underlying soils are predominantly peaty gleys and humus-iron podzols, well-suited to commercial forestry, as demonstrated by the strong growth rates of the conifer crop with yield classes reaching 16 and above.

Covering approximately 10.50 hectares, the timber crop is now reaching maturity and could be harvested within the next five years. This presents the purchaser with the opportunity to generate immediate tax-free income or, alternatively, to allow further growth, increasing the volume of harvestable timber within the woodland.

Set in one of Scotland’s most picturesque regions, the woodland enjoys outstanding views of the world-famous Ben Nevis Mountain range and presents an excellent small-scale investment opportunity for an incoming purchaser.

Location

Kilmonivaig Wood lies in a stunning setting approximately four miles west of Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands offering dramatic and far-reaching views of the Ben Nevis Mountain range, Grey Corries, and the Great Glen.

Around 8.7 miles to the south is the popular town of Fort William, which provides a wide range of amenities, including hotels, restaurants, and various outdoor attractions and activities. The area is renowned for its excellent conditions for timber growth, particularly high-quality Sitka spruce, and benefits from outstanding scenery alongside good access to timber markets. BSW’s sawmill in Corpach offers a very convenient local market for sawlog timber as well as jetty facilities nearby that enable timber exports by sea.

Transport links in the area are well-developed, with the A82 providing access to key regional destinations, while Fort William railway station offers direct connections to Glasgow and beyond.
