A 45.8ac residential holding in north Kildare will be sold at public auction in early September.

On the books of Coonan Property Maynooth, Celbridge and Naas, the property at Garavogue, Prosperous contains prime quality lands that are all in one block.

Laid out in two main fields, the land could easily be subdivided into paddocks if the new purchaser wished to do so. It’s currently used for grazing but would be suitable for any agricultural or equestrian enterprise.

Extending to 895.6 sq ft, the residence is set back a little from the public road. It requires modernisation but has ample potential to be renovated. There are three bedrooms, a kitchen dining area, living room and bathroom.

Forming a courtyard at the rear of the house, the tarmacadamed farmyard contains a number of traditional stone outbuildings, a cow byre and a barn with a concrete floor. There is also a three-bay round roof hay shed with lean-to sheds on each side.

There is ample road frontage either side of the dwelling house and this, combined with the fact there are a number of other houses nearby, could provide an opportunity for one-off residential site subject to planning permission.

There’s no shortage of connectivity either with the property, just 3km from Prosperous while Clane and Maynooth are 9km and 15km away respectively.

Both the M7 motorway at Naas and the M4 motorway at Maynooth are easily accessible too.

Offers in the region of €950,000 are expected for this north Kildare holding that goes under the hammer on at 3pm on Tuesday 9 September in the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth.
