Going for auction in the coming weeks is a substantial circa 201-acre beef fattening farm, known as Brackagh. The farm is located all in one block but the option exists for the property to be offered in two lots of 16 acres and 185 acres if desired.

The lands are of mixed quality, with 140 acres described as good grazing land. The remaining 60 acres are split between mature woodland and rough grazing or moor-type land. A beef grazing enterprise has been run on the farm over the past number of years, with the property well fenced. There is scope for any interested party to run a more intensive enterprise if they wish.

The land is, in general, laid out in large, expansive fields that would benefit from being subdivided further. There are several livestock holding areas throughout the farm also.

While there is no residence on the farm, there is a series of old cut-stone buildings and yards which have the potential to be renovated.

Good shelter is provided throughout the farm by mature trees and natural hedges.

Running along the shores of Lough Ennell, the picturesque setting would provide the perfect location to develop a residence, subject to the relevant planning permissions being granted.

The farm is located just off the N52 to the southeast of Lough Ennell.

The property will go to public auction on Friday 6 October at 3pm in the Greville Arms Hotel, Mullingar. The sale is being handled by James L Murtagh Auctioneers, Mullingar. A very keen guide price of €5,500/acre has been set for the property or €1.105m for the entire.

There are no qualms that the property could benefit from some work and a more intensive enterprise being run, but it does provide an exciting opportunity for the right person to add considerable value to the property.
