With timber and forestry enjoying a boom, a rare opportunity has arisen in the Scottish Borders. Carla Passino takes a look.
‘In my 28 years in the industry, I cannot recall a time when there has been so much demand for forestry and woodland.’ So says Jon Lambert of Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group, who are currently marketing a huge new forest for sale in Scotland called Ramsaygrain East Forests.
‘The market continues to perform extremely well, with emand far outstripping supply and a seemingly insatiable appetite for timber.’
Buying forest has long been popular for all sorts of reasons: some emotional, some commercial, some to do with the various (if rather complicated) tax benefits that are attached to woodland. So those looking for an investment will likely be interested in this large tract of prime commercial forestry in the Scottish Borders which has just come to the market. The Ramsaygrain East Forests extend to 1,841 acres, for which Goldcrest Land & Forestry Group is seeking offers over £14 million.
