A rare opportunity to acquire a significant parcel of agricultural land and mature woodland in the heart of Aberdeenshire has been launched by property consultants DM Hall.
Extending to approximately 42 hectares (104 acres), the land at Upper Gariochsford, near Rothienorman, Inverurie, is being offered for sale as a whole. Situated around 16 miles north‑west of Inverurie and 14 miles east of Huntly, the holding lies in a peaceful rural setting, yet remains readily accessible via an established farm track leading from Upper Gariochsford.
The property comprises around 67 acres of productive arable land together with 37 acres of mature mixed woodland, creating an attractive balance of agricultural, forestry and wider amenity opportunities. The arable land is currently in crop under agreement until 31 October, providing purchasers with an income‑producing agricultural asset from the outset. Classified as Grade 3.2 for agricultural capability, the land benefits from straightforward access and established boundary fencing where present.
The woodland areas have benefitted from Scottish Forestry Grant Schemes between 1991 and 1994, and again in 2004. They comprise a diverse mix of conifers and native broadleaved species, complemented by areas of mixed conifer planting. Located in a part of Aberdeenshire known for favourable growing conditions, the woodland is supported by productive soils and a mild, wet climate, enhancing both its commercial and environmental potential.
Alongside its agricultural and forestry credentials, the holding offers notable amenity and biodiversity value. The combination of mature woodland, arable acreage and varied habitats is likely to appeal to a broad spectrum of purchasers, including farmers, forestry investors, existing landowners, conservation interests and those seeking a long‑term rural asset in a well‑regarded location.
Jennifer Campbell of DM Hall, who is overseeing the marketing of the property, said:
“Landholdings that offer such a balanced mix of productive farmland and established woodland are increasingly sought after across Scotland.
“Upper Gariochsford presents purchasers with a versatile asset that can support agricultural production while also offering significant environmental, amenity and long‑term investment potential.
In Case You Missed it:
“Its accessible location, attractive setting and diverse land use opportunities are expected to generate strong interest from a variety of buyers.”
The property also benefits from the inclusion of mineral rights, insofar as these are owned by the seller, and is being sold with the benefit of and subject to all existing rights and burdens contained within the title deeds.
