Access
From Glasgow, follow the A82 to Tyndrum, then take the A85 towards Oban and continue for approximately 24 miles. As you approach Taynuilt, turn left onto the B845, signposted for Kilchrenan. After around half a mile, you will reach the northern boundary of the Glen Nant Woodland, which lies on both sides of the road.

Glen Nant Wood extends to approximately 131 acres and forms part of the renowned Glen Nant Reserve, offering a rare opportunity for the buyer to actively contribute to the conservation of this vibrant and scenic landscape. The property includes around 2.4 km of the River Nant and provides enchanting views of Ben Cruachan.

The land's gently undulating terrain is rich in biodiversity, supporting a wide variety of wildlife, including at least 234 species of lichen, Red squirrels, Red deer, woodpeckers, warblers, otters and numerous species of moths and butterflies. Its ancient oak woodlands, often referred to as "Scotland's rainforest", are listed on the Scottish Biodiversity List for their national significance in conservation and the woodland forms part of the Glen Nant Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Situated less than half a mile from the A85, Glen Nant stretches for 1.5 miles along the B845, which forms part of National Cycle Network Route 78. Historically, these oak woods supplied timber for the local charcoal and iron-smelting industries. Today, they present an exceptional opportunity to acquire land of National Nature Reserve status. There is development potential for an off-grid cabin or hut, subject to the relevant permissions. The reserve is currently managed under a long-term agreement with NatureScot, running until 15 August 2077.
