Description

Location
Braxwood lies within the well-established Eskdalemuir Forest Complex, an area widely recognised for producing high-quality commercial timber. The area has a strong track record of successful planting, growth, and harvesting, underpinned by favourable soils, climate, and topography.

Braxwood, benefits from a proven productive forestry district with established infrastructure, experienced contractors, and close proximity to major timber processors.
The property is shown on the location and sale plans within these particulars. The nearest postcode is DG13 0QF and What3Words: farmland.scorpions.shunts

Access
Braxwood is accessed directly from the B709, which is designated as an Agreed Route for timber transport within the Timber Transport Forum network, ensuring suitability for commercial timber haulage. From the public road, a shared forest access road extends for
approximately 14.9 km to the woodland. This route is constructed to a high specification and maintained to an excellent standard. Maintenance of the shared access road is apportioned on a percentage basis among the benefiting proprietors, with Braxwood responsible for a modest 2.16% share of the overall costs.

For timber extraction, Braxwood also benefits from servitude rights over a separate forest bypass road. This bypass route was built by and is maintained entirely at the expense of Forestry and Land Scotland. A detailed plan illustrating the full access route and timber extraction bypass is available from the Selling Agent upon request.

Description
Braxwood extends to circa 40 hectares and is predominantly stocked with Sitka spruce, with a small proportion of open ground. The woodland is established on fertile, productive soils, and the crop is generally uniform and of notable quality. Growth rates are strong, with the
majority of the crop performing at a high yield class, indicating the potential for a substantial and valuable timber output at maturity.

The terrain across the property is gently undulating, allowing for straightforward management and harvesting. This topography, combined with the productive soils, contributes to the strong overall performance of the crop. The woodland is at mid-rotation stage, with an average crop age of approximately 16 years, offering investors the prospect of continued biological growth and capital appreciation in the medium/long term.
