A picturesque amenity woodland, with a core of productive timber situated in the stunning west coast of Scotland.
Glenview Wood was originally established in various stages in the 1800s with an intimate mix of broadleaves species including birch and oak.
The property lies to the north of the Tyndrum to Oban railway line and enjoys a delightful setting providing far reaching views over the Strath of Orchy and beyond. A core of productive Sitka spruce was planted in the 1980s and is now into the second rotation with excellent yield class exhibited, providing a good long term income stream.
Access is taken directly via the A85, and the wellconstructed internal road allows for ease of movement throughout the property.
The woodland is rich in conservation value with naturally regenerating mixed broadleaves and open ground that, subject to consent, would lend itself nicely to the erection of a cabin to enjoy the glorious surroundings.
