Description
Kennacraig Wood is situated on the Kintyre peninsula in Argyll, next to Kennacraig ferry terminal overlooking West Loch Tarbert, 5 miles south-west of the popular harbour village of Tarbert. The woodland enjoys an outstanding elevated setting, sloping down towards the shoreline with panoramic views across the sheltered sea loch towards the Isle of Gigha and Islay to the west.
The woodland is separated into two sections by the A83 trunk road which provides excellent access for exploring the region and links to timber markets further afield. Lochgilphead lies 30 miles to the north and Campbeltown 33 miles to the south, with Glasgow and the central belt around two and a half hours' drive. The ferry terminal at Kennacraig offers regular sailings that connect with Port Ellen and Port Askaig on Islay, and with Colonsay in summer.
Tarbert offers a range of local shops, hotels, cafés and restaurants, along with everyday services, while the woodland's location provides an excellent base from which to enjoy Argyll's beaches, sailing, sea angling and its abundant wildlife.
Description
Lot 2 – Kennacraig Oak Wood - 13.63 hectares (33.68 acres)
Offers Over £100,000
This coastal area of native oak woodland is situated along the edge of West Loch Tarbert. The land falls westward from the public road through mature ancient semi natural oak to the water's edge, where the views across the sea loch are spectacular. Most of the woodland is characteristic of the Atlantic Sessile oak woodland (rainforest) typically found on the west coast with significant diversity and supporting a range of habitats.
There are also areas of younger native regeneration establishing well, with small pockets of mixed conifers adding to the mixed nature of the woodland.
The coastal woodland setting would be ideal for a cabin or development overlooking the sea loch, while ownership down to the foreshore enhances the amenity and may allow for a small jetty to be constructed, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions, marine consents and regulatory approvals.
Woodland of this character is rarely available and presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to acquire native woodland in a spectacular coastal setting with development potential.
