Description

Planted in 1981 with a conifer crop of predominantly lodgepole pine with pockets of Sitka spruce and mixed broadleaves, Tomacharich wood has now reached maturity and would be ready for felling. An incoming purchaser could include more Sitka spruce in the second rotation or may choose to enhance the biodiversity and amenity of the wood by incorporating more broadleaves species and open ground. The growth of the lodgepole pine is variable across the site with areas of windblow present in the higher yield class crops. There are areas that have been established on deep peat that would benefit from not being replanted following felling. The property provides an excellent opportunity to create a well-balanced mixed woodland with a core of commercial timber and vast array of amenity benefits.

Location

Tomarachich wood is set amongst the picturesque scenery of the wester end of the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands with magnificent views of Ben Nevis and the Grey Corries to the southeast. The woodland is situated in a secluded yet very accessible part of the country only 5 miles from the popular highland town of Fort William that provides a variety of local amenities and outdoor pursuits.
