A 45ac residential farm is coming up for auction next month in Co Meath. The property is at Fordstown, Rathmolyon and it is being brought to market by TE Potterton.

This whole area is good cattle farming countryside. This farm has been owned by one family for about 80 years – the current owners are now retiring. The land has been let for a good number of years but is in good condition.

The 45ac at Fordstown is in one block.

It is divided into five main fields and a stream runs through, so there is a water supply. There’s plenty of shelter on this land for stock and there is road frontage.

The four-bedroom cottage was lived in until approximately one year ago. It is in need of full renovation. There are on sheds or farmyard of significance on the holding.

The property will be offered at an outdoor auction on Friday 6 November. According to Thomas Potterton, the guide price is €8,000-€9,000/ac.
