<p><b>Location</b></p><p>Kirnan Wood lies approximately 7 miles north of Lochgilphead and 8.9 miles north of Ardrishaig Pier. Occupying an attractive elevated position within a landscape dominated by commercial forestry, the property benefits from scenic westerly views across Loch Craignish.</p><p>Situated in the heart of Argyll, one of the UK’s strongest regions for commercial forestry, the property has convenient access to established timber haulage routes serving both domestic markets and export routes to Ireland and the south. The region’s favourable growing conditions, well‑developed forestry infrastructure, and reliable network of local contractors create an excellent environment for effective woodland management and commercial timber production.</p><p>Please refer to the location and sale plans to locate the property and the entrance to the forest is found at point A1 and can also be found using the What3Words reference: <a target="_blank" href="https://what3words.com/nuptials.poem.editor">nuptials.poem.editor</a>.</p><p><b>Description</b></p><p>Kirnan Wood is a highly desirable and well‑managed second‑rotation conifer woodland, combining strong long term commercial investment potential with an attractive age profile.</p><p>Following the felling of the first rotation, the land was restocked in two stages (2013 and 2017) with genetically improved Sitka spruce, complemented by smaller sections of Norway spruce and Scots pine. The woodland lies between an elevation of 70 -140m above sea level, and its mainly mineral-based soils include peaty gleys, podzols, and brown earths, which provide highly favourable growing conditions for commercial conifers as evidenced throughout the woodland.</p><p>Sitka spruce, the principal species, has benefitted particularly well from the area’s humidity and moist soils, resulting in excellent growth rates with yield classes measured at 24 and above in the most fertile areas. Approximately 80% of the woodland is planted with productive conifers, underpinning strong long‑term timber potential and positioning Kirnan Wood to deliver a good return over the medium to long term.</p><p>Complementing the commercial element, the property also features an attractive area of ancient Sessile Oak woodland interspersed with mature Rowan, Hazel, and occasional Beech. This enhances both the biodiversity and ecological value of the land while adding structural and visual diversity throughout the woodland. Additionally, a telecoms mast, situated at the northeast end of the property, provides supplementary income of £1,000 per year.</p><p>Set within the scenic surroundings of Argyll, Kirnan Wood combines high productivity with the enjoyment of a peaceful and beautifully situated forestry asset. Its well‑performing crop, strong yield potential, and appealing natural features make it an excellent woodland investment opportunity.</p><p><b>For more details please refer to the online Sale Brochure or contact the Selling Agents. </b></p><p><br/></p>
