Description

Sma’ Glen Wood lies in a secluded location at the end of a private track in rural North Deeside. Aberdeen is 40 minutes to the east and the Cairngorms are a similar distance to the west. Banchory and other Royal Deeside villages are about 20 minutes south. The immediate vicinity is a largely unvisited haven.

Sma’ Glen Wood was historically fenced off from the improved fields above (all of which were planted with native hardwoods in 2005) giving it a semi-wild feel. It is composed of north-facing slopes of varying steepness which descend to an area of level ground adjacent to an attractive burn. The burn is included within the sale area.

The west part of the property is a mix of rough grassland and well-spaced full canopy rowan trees, below which is an open area of level streamside meadowland. Towards the centre is a stand of hardwoods dominated by birch and rowan above which is a small group of planted hardwoods dating back to 2005. The east end of the wood reverts to largely open grass and scrub.

The woodland is reached by a newly-built stone track leading to the private parking area at the top of the property. Descending from here you enter a private sylvan world with lovely framed views to east and west, the silence only punctuated by birdsong, moving water and the occasional ‘bark’ of a roebuck hidden in a thicket.

If you seek an affordable hideaway within striking distance of the city then this streamside property merits early viewing.

If It Were Mine

I would clear some of the whins, and consider some enrichment planting to diversify the tree species – a few oak on the west side would be lovely. The streamside grassland would benefit from periodic strimming, and would also provide a terrific locus for camping and barbeques. And with such an abundance of rowan berries I’d have to make jelly every year (great in stews)!

Directions & Access

• From Aberdeen head west on the A944, then fork left onto the B9119 just before Westhill, following this road for 6½ miles to Echt.
• Continue west on the B9119 for a further 4.9 miles and then after crossing a stone bridge on a right hand bend, fork right onto a minor county road signed for Comers.
• Follow this road through some S bends for 2/3 mile until you come to a right-angled bend in the road.
• Stay on the public road for a further 150 metres until you come to double timber gates on your left (A on the plan).
• Please park keeping clear of all gateways. Climb the double gates (sorry, we do not give out keys for viewing) and walk down the hard track ahead of you for 220 metres almost to its end (B on the plan).
• The entrance to Sma’ Glen Wood is the new timber field gate within the deer fence to your right.
