Kinrara Estate in Speyside has gone on the market for £7.5 million.
The 9,309 acre mixed estate has a grouse moor, stalking, salmon and trout fishing, and comes with seven houses, a number of outbuildings and a six-bedroom Edwardian house.
About 142 acres of the land is used as pasture, the majority of which is cut for silage, and the remaining low ground comprises a mix of rough grazing with open grazed woodland.
Around 254 acres is in trees, and estate agents, Galbraith, who are handling the sale, say there is potential to create further woodland on approximately 3,700 acres. They say it might be suitable for the planting of native broadleaved woodland, with more commercial crops on the low ground.
John Bound, a partner with Galbraith, said: “Kinrara offers a rare opportunity to own and play a key role in the ongoing stewardship of this stunning landscape, including some of the UK’s most sensitive and important habitats. The estate offers very considerable afforestation potential, and lucrative carbon capture potential and a feature of the estate is the natural and ancient oak woodlands situated on the north side of the A9.
“The areas of peatland at Kinrara could also be a significant asset in the quickly developing carbon economy.”
