The Auchenlongford Forestry and Farm Portfolio is located within East Ayrshire, an area renowned for forestry and farming. The predominant land use in the surrounding area is a mixture of farming and forestry. Whilst the locality is distinctly rural in character with its scenic rolling landscape, the portfolio benefits from close proximity to the M77, linking Glasgow to Ayr, and the M74, linking Edinburgh to Carlisle. The property is made up of a number of individual forestry plantations and a farm brought together into a single ownership, located either side of the River Ayr.
