Howemoss Wood, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire
- Land size
- 6.5 acres
Description
Howemoss Wood sits within an area of farmland between the airport and the western periphery route, easily accessible from the city. It is accessed along a well maintained farm track that skirts the business park and leads into a pocket of farmland that is mainly worked by one farmer.
This location makes this a very private woodland, despite its proximity to the city. It is a stand-alone woodland and is not subject to a covenant, making it suitable for all sorts of enterprises or will make the perfect bolthole for the siting of a hut.
A good track leads into the woodland, all the way through and effectively bisecting it, allowing for easy extraction of timber if thinning operations were to take place or a harvest. There is a remarkable drystone wall along the eastern boundary that is exceptionally wide and well made and is a feature in its own right.
Possibly the prettiest part of the woodland, the eastern boundary has some rowan and birch, along with an open grassy area between it and the track.
This then leads to a relatively large stand of larch and then spruce that has grown well and holds a substantial amount of timber that would be useful for all sorts of building projects.
On the other side of the track is another stand of spruce with deciduous trees dotted along the boundary. The track at the top leads onto a footpath that then leads to an underpass under the western periphery route and a much larger forested area, this is for pedestrian use only.
Taken as a whole this is a fine woodland for someone looking for a private space with great timber resources and well worth early viewing as in our experience standalone woods move quite quickly.
