Land in the Redmount Hill area of east Galway is renowned for its superb quality, which should make the forthcoming sale of a 91-acre residential farm at Laurencetown a timely opportunity to acquire land in the region. And to add to this, the property is separate lots which may number of customers.

Located eight miles south of Ballinasloe and 12 miles from Portumna, the property will be auctioned

next Friday, 25 April, at 3pm in Gullanes Hotel, Main Street, Ballinasloe. Used over the years for a cattle and sheep enterprise, the property has generated a lot of local interest over the past few weeks,coupled with a few inquiries from the Midlands.

One of the lots, extending to 60 acres at Redmount Hill, is described as “top quality for the area”. Just two miles from Laurencetown village, this lot is divided into a range of paddocks and comes with a three-bay hayshed, a cattle crush and a pen. It is suggested that this block would also suit dairying or tillage.

Back at Laurencetown though there is a further 26 acres. This parcel has an

abundance of road frontage and because of its position right within the village, would have had some level of development potential during the Celtic Tiger. Serviced by path and street lighting, it’s

suggested this block would suit the construction of a large family home subject to the appropriate planning permission, while also allowing the opportunity to hobby farm.

Beside the 26 acres is the residence on an acre. Reported to be well maintained, the house is a three/four-bedroom bungalow that features a living room, dining room, kitchen, shower room

central heating.

Also benefitting from public street lighting and a footpath, this parcel comes with a two-bay hayshed with lean-to, a large open turf shed and a range of smaller sheds that were at one time used for calving and milking cows.

Directly across the road is the last lot which comprises 3.4 acres. Given its access to all the local amenities, this lot would also suit the construction of a house subject to the appropriate planning.

For sale through auctioneer John Dolan, Ballinasloe, next Friday, the house on an acre is guided

at €60,000 to €70,000 while the remaining land has a guide of €6,000 to €7,000/acre.
