Description

Isla Wood lies on the south bank of the River Isla close to its confluence with the River Deveron in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire. Four miles to the south is the historic market town of Huntly, home to the dramatic ruins of Huntly Castle and the Glendronach distillery. Aberdeen is an hour to the southeast and Inverness is 90 minutes to the west (both via the A96).

The woodland occupies a level terrace and has wide panoramic views over the river to a gently undulating mosaic of farmland and woods beyond.

Isla Wood contains a mix of maturing species including birch, sycamore, alder, willow and poplar. Beneath the canopy are a number of regenerating saplings and a scattering of woody shrubs. The woodland floor is largely uncluttered and most areas are readily accessible on foot. A ditch cuts through the west section, beyond which is an area of open ground.

All lots have the benefit of direct frontage to a quiet minor county road. There is a small hard-standing area at the east end enabling off-road parking.

Quiet accessible broadleaf woods with river frontage are rare to the market. Parcels at under £20,000 are rarer still.

If It Were Mine

This is unequivocally an amenity wood offering quiet enjoyment by the river - BBQs and the odd night under canvas (plus the opportunity of fishing the Isla and Deveron for a small annual fee) are all in prospect for the new owner(s).

A few fallen stems will provide for the campfire which I suspect would get frequent use.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
