It spans 939 hectares and can deliver 500 tonnes of wood per hectare.
It has been dubbed the “Rolls-Royce” of big, commercial forests.
A standard football pitch is about two acres.
The land is located in Hawick, south of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Jon Lambert of agents, Goldcrest Land and Forestry Group, said “Norwood is the Rolls-Royce of large-scale commercial forestry.
“It is rare to come across a forest of this size that is of such superb quality.
“Possibly the most desirable, extensive operational forest in the south of Scotland, it has more than 200ha of mature high-quality timber ready for felling and offering immediate income potential.
“With timber prices increasing, this will generate substantial revenue for the foreseeable future.
“Add the premium location, an excellent forest road network, a diverse age class structure, the outstanding quality of the forestry and Norwood ticks every box.
“It is an exemplary forest that has been managed to an exacting standard and I expect it to attract considerable interest.”
Felling of the first crops started in 2010 with some felled areas producing more than 500 tonnes per hectare and large areas of second rotation crops are now established as reported by Luxury Property News.
Conifers cover 735ha of the property, of which Sitka spruce accounts for 92%.
A long-term forest plan was agreed upon in May 2024 with felling approved for the next 10 years.
The aim has been to maximise timber production and sequester carbon while also enhancing the amenity and conservation value of the forest where possible.
Native broadleaves have improved biodiversity and added structural diversity.
Norwood includes a significant stone quarry with a stockpile of crushed stone and additional borrow pits.
And wind farm interest in the area is said to be considerable.
