Located 3 miles south east of Dumfries, Fleet Forest, which is also locally known as Craig’s Moss, occupies part of the Lochar Moss. Access to the A75 trunk road is nearby, with the M6 south and A74(M) north located 22 miles east of the property.
The woodland is predominantly comprised of naturally regenerating birch, with some conifer species throughout which has established at different years and rates since 2010 after a large restructuring of the woodland took place between 2009 and 2013 removing much of the existing standing crop. There are pockets of mature conifer throughout the site which remain to provide a seed source. Since then, there has been one further felling operation in 2018 which removed a further 30 hectares of standing timber, which has also naturally regenerated.
There is one active felling permission on the subject property which was granted 26th July 2023 and expires 26th July 2025. This felling permission covers a further 16 hectares of standing timber which is predominantly spruce. The restocking plan for this is currently to also regenerate naturally. We understand from the sellers that there are various pockets of remaining mature standing conifers across the property which provides a seed source. A copy of this permission is available on request from the selling agents.
The property benefits from an excellent network of internal tracks which have been maintained by the current owners allowing for ease of access to all areas of the sizeable woodland.
FORESTRY GRANT SCHEME
There are currently no grants or grant obligations on the land. The current vendors have one active felling permission which was granted 26th July 2023 and expires 26th July 2025.

The restocking obligations are to naturally regenerate in keeping with the remainder of the woodland.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
