Recently in the Irish Farmers Journal, we reported preliminary details of Major Park, the sizeable farm in Co Clare which is for sale by auction.
This week, we have further details and the photographs.
Here we see the outline of the farm. The larger share of the land is grazing land, the higher part of the farm is hill land with hen harrier designation. The farm has frontage on two public roads. At the bottom of the picture it fronts on to the Flagmount to Caher road.
There’s even more frontage on to the local road which divides the farm in two, with the green land below the road and the hill land above it
The 148ac farm – with residence in need of modernisation - will be sold by auction on Friday 16 October at Gort Co-op Mart by Colm Farrell Property. It is being guided at €450,000, which is the equivalent of €3,040/ac.
The general area is midway between Scarriff and Gort, so it’s 20 minutes to the M18 for Limerick and Galway. Major Park is half way between the villages of Flamount and Caher.
To get to the farm, head out from Flagmount towards Caher. The land starts on the left, looking up the hill.
To get to the house, continue on and take the next left, up a local road.
The house is close to the road, with the hill behind it and land in front sloping downwards to Lough Graney. The original house on the left is two story and two bedroom. On the right is an independent two bed accommodation – which the agents are describing as a chalet - built to dormer level.
The house and sheds are a few hundred metres up this road on the right. The land is on both sides of this road.
On the right, behind the house, the land starts rises towards Knockbeha Mountain.
Given that the land bounds two roads, there’s plenty of road frontage – about 1.5km.
The farm has fine views over Lough Graney. The Cahermurphy Loop walk skirts near the farm.
About 100ac of the 148ac total is fair grassland, divided into about 11 fields. Some maintenance work would improve this land. The other 42ac is hillside.
Auctioneer Colm Farrell said that, overall, the land is of average quality. Part of the farm is designated hen harrier, which will be of interest to some farmers interested in the relevant scheme.
The farm benefits from having plenty of access gateways from the public road.
Major Park overlooks scenic Lough Graney which can be seen here. The farmhouse is in the very centre of the picture.
The farmhouse is close to the road, but in a private setting without being overlooked. It was lived in until about two years ago.
It’s an old house with a lot of character, but now needing full modernisation.
It is actually in two parts. The original house is two storey and two bedroom. Adjoining it is an independent two-bed accommodation – which the agents are describing as a chalet - built to dormer level.
The stone outbuildings immediately beside the house are old and only suited now for general storage.
Adjacent to these is a three-bay corrugated-roof hayshed. There is separate access into this shed from the public road.
