Description
Unique Aspen Forest
The 110 acre Hybrid Aspen forest was planted at Glenquicken in 2005. This is a unique forest, the matrix of which is Swedish Match research hybrid aspen. Hybrid aspen grows 2-4 times quicker than native aspen. The wood has varied end uses. The trees have exceptional biodiversity. It renews itself after felling, without need for replanting or weeding. It is attractive to deer. Half of the roe deer at Glenquicken are culled within the aspen forest, with potential to shoot more. It can also be used for pheasant shooting, and once established for sheep grazing, or on firm ground for cattle.
Open space with possible planting potential, along with the Estates Long Term Forest Plan, is identified on map and table available in the data room - access by request to the selling agents.
The Aspen Forest currently contributes the increasing LTFP broadleaved diversification requirements for the Conifer Forest, which plan is to be renewed by 2030.
Deer Stalking
This Lot also includes Deer Stalking and Sporting rights on Lot 2 subject to meeting the requirements set out in the Deer Control contract. These 2 areas comprise the majority of the Deer Stalking on the Estate. Deer stalking culled circa 15 red deer and 40 roe deer last year, on the whole property. The estimated 12 resident hinds attract large stags from the Galloway Forest Park, and the Aspen Forest is a magnet for roe deer which are replaced from outside as soon as shot. Deer control is required to protect woodland from browsing and stripping damage.
There is a deer control contract ending March 2026, with containers in a sand quarry converted for on site stalker accommodation and storage on Lot 1. The purchaser will be entitled to uplift this from Lot 1.
There are geese, duck, snipe and woodcock on the property. Sporting could be further developed.
Possible Large Water Areas
Two potential areas for water creation were identified and surveyed before the Aspen forest was planted twenty years ago, and as such have been left as open ground. If established, there is a central, raised area on which bothy or vernacular accommodation might be built, with materials on site, access from track close by.
