Coupers Wood - Over 16½ acres, £45,000

Description: Coupers Wood is a large mixed woodland with two distinct areas: about two thirds consisting of mid-aged spruce conifer and the southern third of birch and broadleaf regeneration. There is scope for thinning in both areas which will improve the quality of the remaining trees and further improve the biodiversity on the ground. There is a useful private ride running between the two areas which has recently been cleared allowing plenty of sunlight in and drained to help vehicle access into the heart of the wood. Its split composition suits both amenity and small-scale forestry uses.

Access: is taken from the B974 through a shared double gate entrance and then along a shared hardstanding private track over which there is a right of access for all purposes. The right of access extends along the entire north-west and northern boundary.

Sporting Rights: These are owned and included with the land.

Mineral Rights: These are owned and included with the land except where reserved by statute.

The Lady Jane Woodlands: which Coupers Wood is part of, are situated in idyllic, historical and very peaceful rural surroundings. The trees are a diverse mixture of species and ages and have been sympathetically managed throughout Lady Jane's long history. Currently, mature Scots pine, young spruce and birch are dominant, but there are significant areas of mixed broadleaves including oak and alder and Norway spruce. Red squirrels, woodpeckers, pheasant, deer, wild hare and various fungi inhabit the woods. There are grants for encouraging capercaille.

Surrounding Area: Nearby are the tourist villages of Edzell, with its hidden "rocks of solitude" walk along the North Esk river, and Fettercairn with its working distillery. Slightly further afield are Glamis Castle and Lunan Bay beach and the fishing town of Montrose. Dundee and Aberdeen are each approximately 35 mins drive.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
