There are several areas of mixed amenity woodland, some of which is open grazed. In the centre of the Estate, extending to 3.88 ha (9.58 acres), is a rectangular block of dense conifers and some larch. The woodland area as a whole extends to about 69.72 ha (172.29 acres).
There are rights to fish for salmon, either from the bank or with a boat, along a 0.25 miles stretch of a single bank of the River Tay. The beat has not been fished for some time and there are no records available. Access to the beat is over a neighbouring area of land.
Within in the boundary of Eastertyre is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (Logierait Mires). The site is important for its breeding population of northern blue damselfly. The old curling pond and a series of basin mires within the woodland are the only known location for this nationally rare species in east Perth and Kinross.
Within the boundary of the Estate there are ruined remains of Balnafuran, an older property. Should Eastertyre be sold in lots, the area of Balnafuran, extending to 0.81 ha (2.00 acres) and coloured yellow on the site plan, together with a vehicular right of access and a right to connect to the existing services, will be retained by the Seller.
If the Eastertyre is sold as a whole, Balnafuran will remain part of the Estate. In the event that the purchaser or their successors in title obtains planning permission to carry out any residential development of the Balnafuran ruins, within a period of 25 years of the date of sale, the purchaser or their successors in title shall pay to the seller 25% of the uplift in value of the land.
In the north section of the Estate lies a circular stone enclosure which is the private family burial ground. This is specifically excluded from the sale and the seller will retain a right of access to the burial ground.
