ATTRACTIVE AND DIVERSE FARM WITH ESTABLISHED CONIFER WOODLAND AND PONDS
Description
Brandshill is an attractive and private block of land with a balanced mix of agricultural land and forestry. The amenity of Brandshill has been enhanced by the forestry which has been carefully planned and managed over the last 20 years to provide sport, shelter and commercial timber. The current owner has created a number of ponds which are host to a range of wildlife. The ponds not only enhance the biodiversity of the farm but they also provide a habitat for duck flighting and bird watching.
The agricultural land at Brandshill forms five enclosures lying to the north and south of the wood which are currently down to grass. The land ranges from 160m to 200m above sea level. The “Brandshill Wood” is a well-established commercial forest extending to 108 acres (44 hectares) in total which was planted in 2007 and 2012 and is wholly made up of Sitka Spruce. A number of the compartments are ready for thinning. The woods have a very good internal network of roads with turning spaces.
Sporting
Brandshill offers a variety of sport including flighting, stalking or shooting. The current owner has focussed on the ponds and has created an exciting duck flighting habitat with hides built around the ponds. The undulating land and woodland provides shelter for deer and exciting roe stalking.
Renewable Development
The site is considered to have potential for further wind turbines or solar panels given the areas strong and proven wind values and south facing grassland slopes with good solar gain. There are 33kV electricity lines that intersect the property.
Acreage: 186 Acres
