Description

Comers Wood lies on the east edge of a larger broadleaved property in a private location midway between two famous Scottish salmon rivers: the Dee and the Don. Aberdeen is 40 minutes to the east and the Cairngorms National Park is a similar distance to the southwest. Banchory and other Royal Deeside villages are about 20 minutes to the south. The immediate vicinity is a largely undiscovered haven.

The majority of the wood occupies level ground and benefits from attractive views out across fields and woods to the heather-clad hills beyond. It has immediate access onto the very quiet minor county road adjacent.

The wood is comprised of native broadleaf species planted on former grazing land in the winter of 2005/6. Thanks to good maintenance the trees have established well with most (depending on species) now measuring between 3 and 6 metres in height. The mixture is dominated by oak, and ash, with minor elements of birch, alder and willow, plus a smattering of woody shrubs like hazel, and hawthorn.

This young property is now very much a wood, and associated wildlife is beginning to take up home here with roe deer, foxes and badgers all in evidence. The air was alive with a range of bird calls when we visited, from woodland songsters to moorland birds like curlew and lapwing in adjacent fields.

Comers Wood is well-served by a newly built stone track along its southwest side, off which there is a generous private parking spur. The smooth ground and clean vegetation beneath the trees facilitates easy pedestrian access to almost all areas.

With the right thinning regime Comers will develop into a very attractive mature broadleaved wood which in time will yield healthy volumes of timber if desired. It is now past the need for establishment inputs, and therefore offers a secure and affordable path to woodland ownership.


If It Were Mine

Early jobs would include removal of the tree tubes and reducing the deer fences to stock height.

I’d also consider some early re-spacing to release the slower-growing oak from their overshadowing neighbours (subject to obtaining the necessary consent).

BBQs and camping would also be on the list.

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, with a hard track straight ahead of you and a Woods4sale sign adjacent.
  • 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 clear of the gate. Climb the double gates (at the hinge end please), and Comers Wood is immediately on your right.
  • We do not give out keys for viewing. They will be sent out on completion of purchase.

Boundaries

  • The north boundary (BC) is the line of a deer fence (partly reduced to stock height).
  • The east boundary (AC) is the line of an old field stock fence (just outside the deer fence).
  • The southwest boundary (AB) is the southwest side of the hard track.

Sporting Rights

The sporting rights are included. They are not let.


Rights Of Way

  • A right of access for all purposes is reserved to neighbours over the track AB.

Fencing Liabilities
