A 106ac farm with cattle yard and a five-bedroom house has come on the market north of Mullingar in Co Westmeath. The location is Rathlevanagh, which is just off the N4, a road that runs by Lough Owel.

This area is popular with fishermen and water-sport enthusiasts, but it’s very good farming country too.

There is a mix of tillage, drystock and dairy in the area. The farm for sale is currently in tillage with some grass. This is a vein of good, elevated land with gravel underneath. Much of the area – including this farm – is very free-draining.

The land for sale is all in one block. If driving from Mullingar towards Longford you take a right on to the L1015 and the entrance to the farm is about 1.5km up that road on the left.

The entrance is via a private gravel avenue which runs up to the house and yard and on through the farm. The farm has no road frontage.

The farm is being brought to the market by Coonan Property and is for sale by private treaty. Coonan is offering the farm in three lots.

Lot one is the residence on 13.5ac, with yard. Lot two is the balance of 93ac. Lot three is the entire.

Yard

The yard contains a four-bay double-slatted cattle shed, about 30 years old but in good condition. There is also a three-bay hayshed and lean-to, set up to give four large calving boxes. The gravel roadway runs from the yard through the land, giving good access to all parts of the farm.

Nearer to the house there’s also a secure workshop/garage measuring 34ft × 16ft.
